January in Review

What I Learned

I think it is funny that last January I said that January is always a rough reading month for me... In 2015 I am happy to have read what I have read because the end of 2014 was very very quiet. I am keeping my reading low-key this year and it seems to be working for me. Hopefully I will be able to keep a consistent number for the rest of the year...

  3. It looks like you had a good reading month, Kelly. :-) My January felt busier than it was book wise--although it was busy on every other front.

    I really hope to get to Station Eleven and Snow Child this year.

    Have a great February!

  9. I love that you also track books added to your TBR list. January was a great month for you! I was pretty happy with my year start too and I'm currently reading some great books but just don't feel like I'm making progress.
