2016 Status Update: January

I can’t believe January is over already. Unfortunately I didn’t read as much as I might have liked to this past month, and even more unfortunately these next couple months are going to be pretty busy for me. I’m hoping to find some time in between working hours to read still next month, I have a good amount of books on the TBR listing for next month. Anyways, here is my status update for progress I made on reading challenges this month and some highlights of my posts for this month.

Monthly Stats:
# books read this month: 8
# pages read this month: 2,805
# books read year-to-date: 8
# pages read year-to-date: 2,805

Best Books I Read:

The Swans of Fifth Avenue
The Return of the Witch

Books I Didn’t Particularly Enjoy:

Mirror Mirror – just a lot of really weird stuff going on

February TBR list:

-Missing Pieces by Heather Gudenkauf
-Slaughter House Five by Kurt Vonnegut
-A Small Indiscretion by Jan Ellison
-The Children’s Home by Charles Lambert
-Nookietown by V.C. Chickering
-Try Not to Breathe by Holly Seddon

Looks like I have a full plate for February already but I also have a stack of books that I bought last year that I’ve been really dying to read, including 2 Kristan Higgins books that came out last year. I also really want to read The Martian after seeing the movie, and read The Witch’s Daughter after reading the book’s sequel. So if I can find some space for those books anywhere in my month then I’ll be reading those as well.

So! That was January and also my plan for February. Looking forward to a busy month ahead! Happy reading to all!
