Using these monthly graphics as another way to track my reading.
I read 9 books in January, which is high for me but January always skews high. I credit the motivation of a New Year and my commitment to #AuldLangSpine! Three of the books were fairly short, as well.
The Witching Year was my favorite. Hard to beat that premise in terms of my interests, and her writing is clear, fun, colloquial, and sometimes poetic. Fire Exit was also a stand-out!

TheBookHippie People keep telling me to read A WellTrained Wife… 😵💫😩🤷🏻♀️😝 1d
monalyisha @TheBookHippie It was certainly impactful! I‘m still thinking about it. Her writing is a little uneven, though, and it was far too heavy for my state of mind right now. 1d

TheBookHippie @monalyisha I don‘t need to read what I‘m surround by. 😂 and certainly not now. 1d
monalyisha @TheBookHippie She intentionally published now, to make the threat abundantly clear to those who may not understand how real and pervasive it is (fundamentalists dedicating themselves to create a literal “army” to bring to the polls). I respect her purpose and her persistence, for sure. But yeah — it‘s such a balancing act between educating ourselves, motivating ourselves to act, and protecting (all the different aspects of) ourselves! 1d
TheBookHippie @monalyisha I‘ve been telling people since 1982 how this is. No one listened. Here we are. Mostly people want me to read it to see that I was right I already know I was right. 1d
monalyisha @TheBookHippie Sometimes, it really doesn‘t feel good to be right. ❤️🩹 1d
TheBookHippie @monalyisha zero fun. 1d
