I started the year of with a reading bang. As January 1st was my first day off in a while I spent most of the day reading and managed to complete three books. As my boyfriend put it, I was a reading machine. I have been pretty busy with work as of late so I hadn’t gotten the chance to immerse myself in a good book. It felt really good to get back in the groove, and is a much better time spent then watching Friends, particularly as they are no longer there for you on Netflix.

I like the look of The Secrets We Kept…and you had an impressive New Year’s Day reading.
Thanks for sharing, and have a great new week.
Thanks, I hope the rest of my 2020 reading is just as sucessful. I’m really looking forward to reading The Secrets We Kept, I hope it meets my expectations.![My Profile](https://www.firstimpressionsreviews.com/wp-content/plugins/commentluv/images/littleheartplus.png)

I’ve only read a couple of books so far this year but now that things are back to normal after the holidays I might be able to get back to reading more.![My Profile](https://www.firstimpressionsreviews.com/wp-content/plugins/commentluv/images/littleheartplus.png)

Getting back into reading was one of my resolutions this year. That’s great that you’ve already read a couple of books this year. I hope you read many more.![My Profile](https://www.firstimpressionsreviews.com/wp-content/plugins/commentluv/images/littleheartplus.png)

Three books is awesome! I’ve only read one so far since the New Year but it was a very good one.![🙂](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/svg/1f642.svg)
Friends is still available on Netflix in the UK and I adore it. Perfect distraction and background noise.
Have a good week!
I envy your UK Friends, I agree it is a perfect background noise show. I hope you have a good week as well.![My Profile](https://www.firstimpressionsreviews.com/wp-content/plugins/commentluv/images/littleheartplus.png)

Certainly started 2020 with a reading bang. Hope your boyfriend had interesting stuff to do while you read! I enjoyed Next Year in Havana.
He was too busy playing his video game to mind. Luckily, he’s typically understand about my reading obsession. I enjoyed Next Year in Havana as well, it was such a fun historical romance.![My Profile](https://www.firstimpressionsreviews.com/wp-content/plugins/commentluv/images/littleheartplus.png)

Three books! I’m looking for books that suck me in and won’t let go. Unfortunately, they have been few and far between lately. Come see my week here and Happy New Year!
It is such a treat to find a book that sucks you in and has you lose all track of time. I hope you find many books that draw you in this year.![My Profile](https://www.firstimpressionsreviews.com/wp-content/plugins/commentluv/images/littleheartplus.png)

I love the days where you can lock yourself away with books and become a “reading machine.” Those truly are the best.
Have a great week!
