January 2022 Reading Wrap-Up

 


Happy Saturday, all! 

This week a snowstorm rolled into my area and Alex and I were snowed in for basically an entire week. Since I squish in my 40 hours of work into Monday through Thursday, my normal three-day weekend turned into five. I can't say I'm mad about it. Did I catch up on the bookish work that I had to do? Absolutely not. We absolutely vibed and I read quite a lot... I also nostalgia-watched Phineas and Ferb. What a time. 

In January, I managed to read 15 books. I'm very pleased with it all. It's honestly quite graphic novel-heavy, but I really loved what I read. I also did the thing where I kept mood reading, starting books on whims, and not finishing anything I had previously started. I currently have seven books marked as 'currently reading' on Goodreads, if that says anything about my fickle reading moods.

One of the main reasons I think I read so much this month is the readathon I hosted with my friends. Essentially, I had three of my friends come over, sleep over all with the goal to read as much as we possibly could. It was magical and so much fun. We are definitely doing it again. If you're interested in seeing some sort of content for our 24 Hour Read-a-Thons, let me know in the comments! Until then, I'll be casually posting those nights on my stories via Instagram.
