January 2020 Reads
I am so excited to be writing my first monthly reads post! I think this is going to be one of my favorite posts to write each month. I could talk about books all day every day!! Alex Rider: Secret Weapon I was a huge fan of the Alex Rider series in high school, so I was excited to read the newest addition to the series, Alex Rider: Secret Weapon by Anthony Horowitz.

Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid Book Review
When looking for some new books to add to my to-read list for 2020, a friend suggested we both participate in Reese’s Book Club. I have never been in an official book club, so I was so excited to try something new and branch out in the kind of books that I read. Such a Fun Age is January’s pick, so here we go with the review! I really had no expectations with this book. I didn’t even read a description, which is very unusual for me. Also, I actually listened to the audio book version, which was another first for me. I really enjoyed listening to an audio book,…
