I am on furlough at the moment, so hopefully not seeing the new books everyday will help with this! Hopefully!!! Anyway here are the books I received and purchased in January! Review Copies I received these three books in a fun wee bundle from Pan Macmillan which they were kind enough to send to my home address!!

February TBR
Hello everyone, welcome to my February TBR, my second of the year! I don’t normally do these as I’m very much a mood reader. However I am really enjoying the structure of the TBR, so I’m sticking with it!! Here’s all the books I hope to read in February… The Lamplighters by Emma Stonex I was very lucky to get a copy of this book from Pan Macmillan, and I am intrigued!
