Okay January has gone by so fast! It seems like it was just yesterday we were reigning in the new year and I was doing a mad dash of posts and Netflix binges. Somehow though, we’ve come to the halfway (well near end) point of the month and it’s January’s check in time…
Unfortunately, my reading life hasn’t been going as fast as the month has. I’ve read a total of 2 books so far this month–none of which were on my TBR and one of them I had been reading since last month, the other was a reread. So let that be your guide on how my reading has gone.
Not My Match by Ilsa Madden-Mills (ARC)

I shouldn’t have invited the girl genius to live with me, but it’s clear she needs my help—not only for a place to lay her pretty blonde head but in finding real love, which she’s not going to get with the crazy men she picks up online.
Too bad she’s a twenty-four-year-old virgin and I’m a bad boy wide receiver. She’s off limits for a hardcore player like me—and we’re just friends.
Instead, I’m her matchmaking service, no matter how jealous it makes me when I tag along on her dates.
I can keep my self-control. Right? No way will I give in to everything inside me that dreams of a girl like her in my world.
I may be the best wide receiver in the country, but how could I hold on to a girl like her?

Well, Zümrüdüanka has finally finished (I have many thoughts) and I low key miss it. I’ve been watching the show for almost a year now and it’s been weird not having the show each week in my daily watches. I’ve also high key stopped watching Doğduğun Ev Kaderindir, as I just can’t handle the drama in that one currently–hopefully I can go back and catch up later when I’m in a better place!

My TBW is the same as last months as I didn’t watch anything on my TBW in December (very typical of me). So the goal remains–to either finish one of these or to just simply start it. I am adding two other shows to this months TBW as one of them is a season 2 premiere so I can watch those weekly as its released and the other is a recommendation from some dear friends of mine! Fingers crossed I will finally get to these!
