Monthly Recap! January 2017

Posted February 1, 2017 by Wendy in recap / 0 Comments

Can you believe the first month of the year is already over? That flew by! Not going to lie, January has been kind of tough. Current events being what they are have been frustrating and depressing but it is imperative to stay well informed so that we can be as active as we can! Books and TV have been good for some escapism in between though. Here’s what I read in January and what I’ve been up to on the blog!

Favorite Things in January:

Alexandra Bracken and Susan Dennard were here on tour for Wayfarer and Windwitch and they were SUCH a delight! I loved listening to them chat and they were just so fun. I’d love to be their BFFs, they’re just great and not only that — their books are fantastic too! I have yet to read Wayfarer because I want to reread Passenger first but it is on my immediate TBR! Same goes with Windwitch!

Month in Review:

Books Read In January: 6

Audiobooks Listened to in January: 3

Favorite read of the month: Not counting rereads, I’ll say The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken. I can’t wait to continue the series!
