January 2026 On My Radar

Published on by Celeste14 Comments

Hello, everyone! In the blink of an eye, January is almost over, which means it’s time for my January 2026 On My Radar. The month started out ok, but I became progressively distracted, so I didn’t blog hop around as much. But I still found some goodies, so have a look below to see if you missed any of these bookish posts.

Before I jump into this week’s WWW Wednesday, I just want to say thank you to everyone who commented on my blog posts this past week. I’m behind on replying to comments as well as blog hopping because I took a quick vacation to the U.S. Virgin Islands. My computer is also being slow because I’m just about out of memory. But I will make my rounds eventually. So, thank you again!

Since I’ve been writing a lot of 2025 recap posts, I haven’t really had time to do a WWW Wednesday yet. I try not to let blogging steal too much of my time, so unfortunately this fun, easy meme went to the wayside for a couple of weeks. That said, here’s my first one of 2026.
