RECAP⇢ JANUARY

I've been busy this January.  I changed the name of my blog from Leah's Bookish Obsession to Can We Talk About Audiobooks.  I decided I want to focus on the format I "read" the most of...that being Audiobooks.  I'm impatiently waiting for Netgalley to add Audiobooks, too.  I also got through a few books too...
