January Reading Wrap-Up

This year, I’d like to start posting monthly reading wrap-ups.

I’m off to a good start, as January was a fantastic reading month. I finished 8 books and started 2 others. I also participated in two readathons, including Bout of Books and 24 in 48.

Here’s what I read:

  • Challenges: Mount TBR
• A Winter Away by Elizabeth Fair (4-stars)- Reviewed here, ebook
• The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas (4-stars), ebook

• 84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff (5-stars)

  • Challenges: When Are You Reading?, Mount TBR
• Margaret the First by Danielle Dutton (5-stars), ebook

  • Challenges: TBR Pile, Mount TBR

I’ve also started:

• Excellent Women by Barbara Pym,
  • Challenges: TBR Pile, Classics Club, Back to the Classics, Mount TBR
• The Persephone Book of Short Stories
  • Challenges: Mount TBR

 

 

If this month is any indication, I have a wonderful reading year ahead!

Tentative February Reading Plans

The first part of the month will be full of Persephone Books since the #PersephoneReadathon kicks off tomorrow (!!!)

After that, I’ll most likely pick up:

•  The Mermaid and Mrs. Hancock by Imogen Hermes Gowar
• Fingersmith by Sarah Waters (finally!)
• Winter Solstice by Rosamunde Pilcher (if I’m going to read it this year, I want to read it while it’s still actually winter)
• Red Clocks by Leni Zumas

 

How was your reading month? What was your favorite read?
