I’m glad it’s not just me! I did post last year and then I overthought everything as usual and went shy again . I love seeing what everyone’s reading too, my TBR grows pretty much everytime I come on this thread . So glad you’ve got your inspiration back, I know how hard it is when you lose it. Looking forward to seeing what you’ve been reading

Joining in and posting what I’ve read this month, I’ve been lurking as always but trying to be not so shy and hoping this will encourage me to keep the reading up I enjoy it so much but sometimes I’m my own worst enemy.
Really love this calendar thingy from Bookmory which I only found through here so thank you whoever posted about that! Started off the month really well then lost it a bit, I’m so all or nothing, it drives me crazy can never seem to find a balance in anything
Loved Penance like lots of people here, Eliza Clark can do no wrong in my eyes. Ask for Andrea was really good too, the ending was a bit meh to me but it couldn’t have really ended any other way so that’s me being a bit daft, I just hoped for a little more I guess. Really loved If I Can’t Have You too, made me really emotional in parts and I didn’t expect that, Constance was such a flawed character but also I really did like her and related to her obsessive side a lot which is a bit hard to admit but we’re all friends here and god she’d been through it. I think it gets quite mixed reviews and it does drag a bit in parts but for me I loved it and it’ll stay with me.
Up next is either Strong Female Character or Preloved both of which are recommendations from here so thank you guys again!

also cannot do photos but here are my january reads:

trespasses - louise kennedy
the beloved girls - harriet evans
clock dance - anne tyler
pyre - perumal murugan
trust - hernan diaz
preloved - lauren bravo
clytemnestra - costanza casi
love her or lose her - tessa bailey

a really good month of books tbh, though i do think it is time for me to give up on tessa bailey! liked one of hers, but everything else has been so flat and i hate how she writes her men for the most part.

@chickhicks86 Local Girl Missing was pure drivel and I usually like Claire Douglas. This one is brilliant...

I'll be back later to do my round up for January and I'm already excited to see what new offers hit Amazon tomorrow.

I remember someone on here saying Local Woman Missing looked great last July so I bought it and read it. Biggest load of rubbish ever. Nothing happened in it! @nbt - just remove it from your list, it’s an absolute waste of time.
