January 2021 TBR

This month’s TBR is probably just going to be super basic as I continue reading romance books. We’ll see.

• It’s Not Me, It’s You by Mhairi McFarlane – Currently Reading
• The Switch by Beth O’Leary
• Days of Blood & Starlight by Laini Taylor
• Dear Emmie Blue by Lia Louis
• Is This Anything? by Jerry Seinfeld

This month I will also probably continue to ignore the pile of ARCs that I’ve accumulated. At least I stopped requesting things from NetGalley so…progress, right?
