Yup! Today, January 17th, 2022 is Blue Monday. A term (in the northern hemisphere) that describes a Monday in January, typically the third Monday of the month, that is characterized as the most depressing day of the year.
To battle the blues, I decided to embrace them. I scanned my Goodreads TBR to see how many of them have blue covers. I found 34!
If anything looks interesting to you, just click on the cover and it will take you to the Goodreads description.
How could I be BLUE with all of these great titles yet to read?
Oooh, that’s a fun fact! I’ve never heard of Blue Monday (being a Southern Hemispherian, it’s not our winter blues season) but what a great prompt for a post! If anyone’s not sure where to start with these, can I +1 the recommendation for Big Lies In A Small Town? That book was such a pleasant surprise, it really knocked my socks off – I’m still thinking about it!

I agree, reading a good book, especially a humorous one is a great cure for Blue Monday. Funny thing, January 17 is my brother’s birthday. So many great titles here.

I’m reading a great little novel now that has made me chuckle out loud a few times. I think it is one you might enjoy too Carla. My review will be posted next Wednesday.

Thanks for the recommendations. I’ll try to push those two up my TBR queue. Not easy as I have over 200 review commitments…

Never really thought about what color I prefer in covers… If put on the spot, I think I’d choose green. ♥
