January was my best reading month since I started tracking three years ago! I read a whopping 35 books (including 6 GN, 8 juvenile biography/history with the kiddo, and 4 other non-fiction) for 6779 pages. I only had 4 BIPOC authors, though, so I can do better there - and February‘s list has better representation.
A good reading month for me.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐:
My Sister, the Serial Killer (A fun re-read)
When They Call You a Terrorist (This one will stick with me)
Normal People (A surprise gem)
⭐⭐:
A Bad Day for Sunshine
What Lies Between Us
(These two were not really to my taste)
⭐⭐⭐⭐:
All of the rest
(I really liked all of the other books I read this month)
Strong start to 2021 so far with 11 books read (altho to be fair 4 of those were children‘s books to curate for nieces & nephews). 💖💪🏻
I‘d recommend all of these titles!
Question: What are you doing next week?
Answer: Reading ALL the books for #JoyousJanuary
Time to kick start the year with my favourite mid-monthly #readathon 🥳
My goals? Read as much as I can.
It's that simple. Join us!

Well I‘m excited to see another #joyousjanuary readathon from @Andrew65 and as I‘ve been dragging on books I‘ll just set my goal at 5 this time just in case 😂 I‘ve been a bit slower this month as I‘ve dived into some classics. Maybe I‘ll gain some ground but who knows.
January was tough for me. We visited my parents and while I read on the planes I didn‘t read a single page there, plus I have a new 2-hour weekly rehearsal I‘m getting used to. 11 books and 3034 pages is respectable, but I hope February is better.
I‘m unofficially climbing Mount TBR, 6 books in.
#januarywrapup. Read 6 books and 1,909 pages. Was an ok month. Best is probably chloe brown
I am working on the first one but will likely finish it tonight. I should maybe get out more? Nahhhhh
January was a good reading month for me. I loved the series ending to the Nevernight Chronicle, I'm Not Dying With You Tonight, and I'm really enjoying the re-read if Harry Potter for #potteraday . 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I thought the Sherrill Sisters, Recursion, and Sound of Gravel were just okay. 🌟🌟🌟
The rest of the books were a solid
🌟🌟🌟🌟.
Here's my plan for the first month of 2020. I'll be re-reading Vicious, as It's been so long since I've read it. Have you read any of these?
#JanuaryWrapUp
I'm trying something new this year to try and limit my book spending. Color codes represent where I got the book: bought myself, library, Scribd, NetGalley or from a Litten. I'm hoping this will also help me buy only books I want to add to my collection instead of seeing every book as a sparkly diamond and buying on impulse plus it will keep track of challenges I'm in. Let's see how long I stick with it 😂
January wrap up! I read great books this month! 👍🏻
#januaryrecap #januarystats
Though I completed 1, I‘m taking 2 more #NewYearWhoDis reads into February & keeping my Libby holds on the rest to get to in 2019! Infinite Jest is my mountain to climb this year; the books I completed in Jan were much shorter 😁
As for #MountTBR, I only completed 1 owned book 😬 I plan to do better in Feb!
Read in 2019 GR shelf: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/2827215-daria-zeoli?order=a&shelf=read-in-...
41 TOTAL! I've been looking for new ways to track & present info, so here is an experiment. I've got reading method (mostly print), content format (mostly graphic due to #letsgetgraphicweeklongreadathon), source (mostly library), etc. I checked 6 books off my #mountTBR shelf, gave an equal amount of 3/4/5 star ratings & read 51% books written by women. Gotta work on that #POCauthor stat-32% isn't good enough. See comments for recommendations! ⬇️
#Januarywrapup #readingstats.. So technically I‘m not done with the last one but I‘m 2/3rds the way through and I‘m free after 3:30 today so the chances are good that I finish. So we will say 20 books total for January.. I have my doubts that will be the case for February. 😬
I read 21 books in January total, two being audiobooks. Not a bad@start to the year. The pictures one was actually my favorite.
Great night in the ‘sip. Finally a thaw. It is 60 degrees. This is how I DO JANUARY!! The 6 degrees is for the BIRDS.
pickA little seasonal reading. If only it would really thaw here . . . This book is one of the better ones of this series I‘ve read. I have the next two waiting for the calendar to change! #Murderbymonth #LetterJ #LitsyAtoZ #Cozymystery #Booked2018
