I’ve made a decent start towards my 2020 reading goals. This month I have read 11 books! This total is helped by the fact that January is obviously twice as long as any other month! I’ve read 5 paperbacks and 6 ebooks.

The Seven 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’ve read a real mixture of books this month. The Seven and 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle is such a clever book but definitely took a while to get into. My favourite this month was The Other Windsor Girl which vividly recreates the glamour of Princess Margaret’s “set” in erly 1950s London and has inspired me to add some more Margaret non-fiction to my TBR. I’m really enjoying the 2020 Cozy Mystery Challenge and chatting with the other readers about the books.

I have a busy February ahead – my first proper readlong, a Bookstagram meet up, four cosy mysteries and a backlog of Netgalley ARCs to plough through. Let’s see how I do next month!

Happy reading x
