January moved at a nice pace. I was busy but I still felt like I had a lot of time to devote to reading. I read 17 books in January and DNFed 3. Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in the review.

Well, overall, this was a good reading month. I am thrilled with starting out strong with reading my own books, but also reading from the library (virtual TBR).
I'm really eager to read the new Pepper Basham romance! It just looks so fun. And I checked out Dear Mrs. Bird from my library and am hoping to reread it this month so I can then check out the books that follow it. :D
ReplyDeleteLark, that's great! I checked out the second book of Mrs. Bird's series, and hope to get to it this month.
DeleteIt's disappointing when we "have" to DNF books but I think it's great if we can do this as a reader. I'm still teaching myself this, but I think sometimes a book just isn't for us and that's ok. There's lots of other books that are. :) Looks like despite this, you still had a good reading month.
ReplyDeleteRissi, I don't like DNFing books and it was something I had to start making myself do, or I would end up not enjoying reading. I also don't like marking it that way on Goodreads, but if I don't, I won't remember and then will pick up the same book.
