📚 January Wrap-Up 📚

Happy Wednesday, everyone! 😁

It’s ages since I did a monthly wrap-up (last April), so I thought it was about time I started again.

I read some fab books in January and ticked off some titles from my challenges: 4 from my 25 in ‘25, 10 from my A-Z, and 1 KindleCrush.

My favourites were Raising Hare (a beautiful read), The Daughter (gripping), and The Devil You Know (tense and addictive). 

I’ve also found a new (to me) excellent crime thriller series. The Devil You Know by Neil Lancaster is the fifth book in the DS Max Craigie series (set in Scotland) and an absolute belter. I’ve had it on my Kindle for so long; I’m just gutted I didn’t read it sooner! I’ve since read the sixth installment, When Shadows Fall, and loved both books so much I’ve gone back to start at the beginning of the series. It’s fast become a firm favourite. If you’re looking for a new crime thriller/police procedural series to sink your teeth into, look no further!

Anyhow, without further ado, my January reads were:
