I had seen the hype for this book all over bookstagram and when I emailed Orbit, they got back to me saying that if they had any review copies left they’d send me one. I was so lucky that one came in the mail but not a few days later! It was one of my most exciting book mail moments. So thank you once again so much to Orbit Books for making this reviewer so happy with this great story.

03.15.2023 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

January was a pretty good month. It was definitely a month with a lot of pre-orders so I got lots and lots of book mail, which was exciting. I evern chipped away at reading some of those books, which was extra fun. It was also a really good reading month. My students were very helpful in encouraging me to read a book for each day of the month. I didn’t quite succeed in that, but I read a lot, and I read a lot of very good things. You’ll find what I’ve read below, along with the books hauled.
