My January reading was a pleasure! With renewed energy for the new year, I focused on my new reading challenges, continued with series I had started, and found many new reads at my library. I read a little poetry, some mysteries, some classics, some children’s books, a photography book, and some Shakespeare. What a mishmash! I enjoyed every moment of my January reading!
Favorite book read in January: Farther Afield, by Miss Read
Favorite for the beauty of the writing: The Country of the Pointed Firs, by Sarah Orne Jewett
Favorite children’s book: Haroun and the Sea of Stories, by Salman Rushdie
Favorite graphic novel: Book Love, by Debbie Tung

I’m fairly certain I have The Country of the Pointed Firs on my KIndle, I’ll have to line it up to read.

I borrowed quite a few books from my library this past month, too. More than usual! You had a lovely month of reading, didn’t you? With the return of rain, I’m tempted to spend the next week curled up with my books and do nothing else! 🙂

Just noticed that you also have Amulet in there. I haven’t finished the books that have been written so far (because it irks me that the series doesn’t seem to end), but I will reread the first few and the rest when the series is complete. My stepdaughter has them all.

Iliana, you will love Book Love! I’ll bet there were a lot of holds on it at the library, though.
