Oof - January was a big month. As history repeated itself, I spent my time doing the things I love. I read, blogged, took photos .. yet I still had my downs. My family lost our beloved Dakota, those first weeks really hurt. But I'm here, doing better! Anyway, let's recap January.

Surprisingly, I only read 4 books this month! And I don't know why but I'm okay with it.
January was SO WORTHWHILE because of all that book news. I know me and you are particularly excited for Maggie, but I'm also pumped for E.Lockhart's new book!! I loveeee the way she writes. I kinda want to read the Fantastic Beasts screenplay but I feel like it's kind of a waste? I've seen the movie, so I'm finding it hard to convince myself that I need to see it in print too lol! Is there anything really special about it?
ReplyDeleteI know right?! Me too! I picked up the screenplay because I wanted to relive the magic of Fantastic Beasts. I just loved that movie so much. Haha too cheesy?
DeleteSpecial? Not really. But the actual book is beautiful! I find that to be pretty worthy to pick up the book haha
ALL THE CROOKED SAINTS LOOKS AMAZING ALREADY, AHHHH. And I'm kind of relieved that it's a standalone, tbh. Series always stress me out because they're so much of a commitment, lmao.
ReplyDeleteI read seven books in January, which is not as many as I hoped but still not horrid. I think my favorites were The Martian by Andy Weir and Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis by Anne Rice :)

I KNOWWWWWWW I'M SO READY!! Ha, me too!
DeleteCongrats on that! Seven books is a good accomplishment.
Im very interested how the 13 Reasons Why show will pan out. I thought it was a movie, so thats really interesting. Im not sure how I feel about it honestly.
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
