  1. Ok but 29 BOOKS IN A MONTH IS BASICALLY UNHEARD OF FABULOUSNESS?? IM FOREVER IN AWE OF YOU. Hoping you have the best ever February WITH ALL THE GOOD BOOKS

  2. Wow, what a great start to the year! I only read 2 in January, and I didn’t like either :/ I really want to read Just My Type x

  3. That’s an excellent and solid reading month Wendy. Well done and I’m so glad you had so many good ones among these. Hope February is as good🙂

  4. I got out of the habit of doing monthly wrap-ups and now I can’t remember the last one I did. I miss doing them! Hooray for so many 4.5-5 star books. And already being 8 books ahead of schedule on your GR goal after just the first month is pretty awesome. 🙂

  5. That’s an amazing reading month, Wendy! I have some of these on TBR but as I’m slow reader these days, I might take whole February to go through them. I’m reading Minuscule mansion right now and so far it’s good. Wish you fabulous February!

    • Thank you, Yesha! You have a lot going on in your life. When my kids were little I was lucky to read the back of a cereal box, much less a full book. 🙂

  6. Wow, 25 books is amazing! I’m looking forward to several on your list, but I’m reading The Minuscule Mansion of Myra Malone right now so I’m happy you rated it 4.5 stars!

  7. That is a GREAT start to the new year! I never think to separate my audio books from the physical books I am reading. Right now my audio book listening is WAY down! I hope to change that…

  8. It looks like you had an amazing bookish January, Wendy. I have several of these on my TBR, I just need to get to them. I have 4 days alone, so hope to get a few in. I hope your February is just as good for you!
