Read in January 2023

It’s mid-February and I’m finally posting this January wrap-up!

Lots of good reads from manga to romance to YA. Also, a lot more non-fiction than I was expecting…!

Also, I decided to bravely give up on a book, despite being at least 1/3 of the way through. It was Cult X by Fuminori Nakamura. I’ve previously enjoyed his work so it was hard to give it up, but the story about cults in Japan was frankly tedious with its lectures by one of the cult leaders.

So here’s what I read, with links to my reviews.
