January 2024 Reading Wrap-Up

January alternated between flying by and being slow (mostly when I was at my part time job, LOL). I had some reading duds, but overall I think I had a decent reading month. I read 16 books and DNFed one. Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in the review.

Series: Bama Boys Sweet RomCom #2

Author: Kaci Lane

Publisher: Kaci Lane Creations

Genre: RomCom, Contemporary Romance,

Source: Own

My Review:

I don't know why it took me so long to get to this book! Chicken About Love by Kaci Lane is the second book in the Bama Boys Sweet RomCom series. I recommend reading them in order, although they would be okay to read as stand-alone novels.

Hey bookish friends! Another busy week here, with making up all the classes we
couldn't teach last weekend because of our snow storm. I am on day three of fighting a migraine and I have one more class to teach today, and then I can relax for the rest of the weekend. How are you doing?
