Monthly Wrap Up and TBR


The one month of January has felt like a year all on its own, but it is finally over. We're headed in to the shortest month of the year, but it is the one that always manages to feel the longest. 

Before I talk about what February will bring for me reading wise I have to recap January. 

The books that were on my list are:

Fable by Adrienne Young (goodreads)
A Lesson in Vengeance by Victoria Lee (goodreads)
Lore Olympus by Rachel Smythe (goodreads)

I also had some ebooks that I hoped to read:

If This Gets Out by Sophie Gonzales and Cale Dietrich (goodreads)
Bad Girls Never Say Die by Jennifer Mathieu (goodreads)
Fan Club by Erin Meyer (goodreads)
The Roughest Draft by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka (goodreads)
Reckless Girls by Rachel Hawkins (goodreads)

Here is what I managed to read in December:

Fable by Adrienne Young (goodreads)
A Lesson in Vengeance by Victoria Lee (goodreads)
Lore Olympus by Rachel Smythe (goodreads)
The Roughest Draft by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka (goodreads)

I managed to read four books this month. I am hoping for more in February despite the fact that it is a shorter month. I am getting better at dedicating time to reading so I am hoping that pays off this month.

My #PopCultureResolution book for January was Joker/Harley: Criminal Sanity by Kami Garcia, Mico Suayan, and Mike Mayhew which I managed to read and have reviewed already. The movie was West Side Story and that has already been reviewed

Here is what I hope to read in February:


Saga: Volume One by Brian K. Vaughan, Fiona Staples (goodreads)
One True Loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid (goodreads)
Anatomy by Dana Schwartz  (goodreads)

I also have some ebooks that I am hoping to get to:



If This Gets Out by Sophie Gonzales and Cale Dietrich (goodreads)
Reckless Girls by Rachel Hawkins (goodreads)
Only A Monster by Vanessa Len (goodreads)
Gallant by V.E Schwab (goodreads)
How To Date A Superhero (and Not Die Trying) by Cristina Fernandez (goodreads)

My #PopCultureResolution picks for this month are Lore Olympus: Volume 1 by Rachel Smythe and Funny Face. I have already read and LOVED Lore Olympus. The review will be going up sometime this month and will be included in the next monthly round up post. I am excited to watch Funny Face and I hope it is a good choice for Valentine's Day.

Next up is an update on my two reading challenges:
