Beginning of February Book Deals
It felt like January FLEW by and February is always something of a blur to me because of two birthdays, Valentine’s Day, and President’s Day.
(Plus, we’re doing our Winter Escape trip this month).
There are SO MANY good books deals this week – part of me wanted to hoard some of them in case next week there aren’t a bunch of new ones, but these deals change so fast that I’d feel bad not sharing them today and then finding out next week that they were over!
