January Book Reads

January Book Reads

Welcome to a new year with more book recommendations!!  I have been getting so much reading in (thank you breastfeeding and my Kindle!).  For this year I will use a rating system because not all the books I read are worth picking up if you have limited free time.  Hope you enjoy!
