We did it! We survived January. It seriously felt like a years worth of turmoil. Even though January has been a bit of a shitshow for me I got a lot of reading done! I set my reading goal to 69 (lol) and according to Storygraph I am 4 books ahead which is shocking to me. I finished 10 books this month and I am hoping I can keep this momentum going!

I know that I haven’t been on here much. I’m trying to change that. I’m hoping to get back into the habit of blogging. I miss all of my blogger friends and I miss talking to all of you about the books that I love and hate. I’ve also started to use both Instagram & TikTok more. If you’re over on those platforms I’d love to be mutuals.

Books Read in January 2022:

Favorite book this month was a Lore Olympus Volume 1.

I’ve been reading Lore Olympus for years now and it’s been a staple for me on Sundays. I’m honestly trying to figure out how to live my life while it’s on hiatus. Rachel’s artwork is absolutely beautiful and it was fun to go back to the beginning and reread it.
