Closing out January. Caught this beautiful sunset this evening. Even at -18. January was about discipline, rounds in the deep freeze. Ready to see what February brings.

Here is my January Wrap Up!
I read a lot of books but sadly no 5 star reads.
Am I being too picky?
Are my tastes changing?
I'm very curious to see how my reading and rating goes this year.

What is your favorite read of January??
★ What was your favorite read of January? Or something you accomplished? Happy February, all! I read (mostly by listening) 44 books in January, but apparently I only have physical copies of seven of them. My shelves are breathing a sigh of relief. 😅 34 audiobooks, 10 ebooks, and a number of them were novells. My reading was heavy on the romance, and mostly just vibes. I didn’t read anything off my TBR cart (it’s haunting the background of this photo like 😒), but I did read several other books off my backlist, and finished/binged some series! My favorite read of the month was Juniper Hill by @devneyperry (which USPS has so graciously lost my physical copy of 😩). It’s a small town, neighbors to lovers romance—he’s a chef, she’s a new mom and comes to work at his family’s hotel. Angsty, swoony, and so so good. My favorite fantasy read of the month was A Trial of Sorcerers by @elise.kova. Book two, A Hunt of Shadows, releases 3/1 and I am hype! My other 5 star reads of the month: - The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun (hilarious, swoony mlm romcom) - Claimed by Cupid by Dana Isaly (Nick and Holly are back in this kinky Valentine’s Day themed novella) - The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas (angsty af rivals to lovers w/ fake dating) - There Are No Saints & There is No Devil by Sophie Lark (rival serial killers are obsessed with the same woman! there are no good guys in this book, and that’s the best part) And, the series I finished/binged: - The Ravenels & Wallflowers series by Lisa Kleypas (and I started the Hathaways series!) - Blueblood Vampires series by Michelle Hercules - Lark Cove series by Devney Perry - Cursebreakers series by Brigid Kemmerer (I *finally* read Vow, I am counting it) + I’m *almost* finished with the Beautiful Bastard series by Christina Lauren (I read seven of them in Jan, including novellas!) You can see my full list of January reads in my stories! ★ HASHTAGS // #bookstagram #bookseverywhere #booknerd #bookaholic #bookhoarder #bookworm #booklover #bookstagrammer #booklove #bookcommunity #bookobsessed #bookaddict #booksbooksbooks #readingnook #bookstack #homelibrary #elisekova #januarywrapup #atrialofsorcerers #fivestarread https://www.instagram.com/p/CZclC1VP8v2/?utm_medium=tumblr

#JanuaryReads What was your fav book in January? º Heyy guys! Can't believe we're already in February. Alhamdulillah. The days are moving just tooooo fast. In January I had a recent amount of reads. I liked a lot of them, some just more than others. But I can't wait to review all. This month I'm planning to read Netgalley arcs mainly because I requested a whole lot of 'em and so far I have about 60 books already accepted! TO READ!!!!!! OMG I have no one to blame but myself 😅 #JanuaryWrapup The Girl Who Survived by 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 💫 Shiver by 🌟🌟🌟🌟.7 💫 The Weekend Away by 🌟🌟🌟🌟.5 💫 Sempre by 🌟🌟🌟🌟. 3 💫 The Shuddering by 🌟🌟🌟🌟 💫 Monster In His Eyes by 🌟🌟 🌟🌟💫 The Chalet by 🌟🌟🌟🌟 💫 The Girl Acros The Wire Fence by @imogen 🌟🌟🌟 💫 - https://www.instagram.com/p/CZfMSOOL6qQ/?utm_medium=tumblr
💥JANUARY 2022 Wrapup💥 I tried a different reading tactic with my reading. I decided to participate in group/buddy reads with the various FB groups I belong to. I just wanted to stretch myself and move outside my comfort zone. Every single one of those reads were NOT on my radar and they were all new authors to me though I’ve seen their names around. 🚨Takeaway: I like what I like. It’s cool to try new books but I want to read what I WANT! I didn’t get enough of that and so I’m prioritizing the authors I want to read for next month. I decided to do a re-read/listen of Immortals after Dark by Kresley Cole and next month I will add Highlanders by Karen Marie Moning. Thank you to @way2read for the Conscientious Reader Challenge. Nonfiction is a genre I don’t read that often. I got two in this month. 🛑My 5-Star Standouts are : 🎯Flagrant by Alexandria House 🎯Queen & Monsters by J.T Geissinger 🎯A Hunger like No Other by Kresley Cole 🎯The Wish by Nicholas Sparks 🎯The Brit by Jodi Ellen Malpas BYE BYE January #januarywrapup #january2022wrapup #anezichireads #romancebloggersofinstagram #groupreading #buddyreads #thechaiseandloungeblog #bookhoarderchallenge2022 #rbutreadingchallenge2022 #endofthemonthreads https://www.instagram.com/p/CZddRLfLfNg/?utm_medium=tumblr
