January Reading Wrap-Up – My Favorite Reads of January 2026

Naturally I discovered this idea in March instead of January, but I suppose it isn’t too late to start now! So, let’s chat a little bit about books, shall we? Here are my favorite reads of January 2026! January Wrap Up…

Is Book of the Month Worth the Money?
If you are a follower of Bookstagram, BookTok, or BookTube…you have likely seen Book of the Month mentioned once or twice. I had never heard of it until I started following more bookish accounts on Social Media. I think it was about a year ago that it really began to catch my eye. It almost seemed too good to be true…so I decided to check it out. I armed myself with a coupon to snag my first book for $5 (You can too!!)…and took the plunge. Well, I am 10 months in now. So, how do I like it? Is Book of the Month worth the money? Well, let me…

We would walk to the store together and I would get to pick out a brand new Golden Book! Even today I can be easily bribed with books…just sayin’! Though I love all books, Children’s Books have my heart. There is something magical about Children’s Literature. I started my own library of kids books well before I had my own kids. It wasn’t even that I was putting books away for when I one day had kids of my…
