January Wrap Up | 2016

I read two books during the month of January. Yep, just two books. And I didn't even technically do that since I just finished "A Game of Thrones" earlier today, but I decided to put it in the wrap up since the majority was read during January. Some would call it a disappointing month of reading, but honestly I vastly enjoyed both of the books that I read, so there is nothing disappointing about it.

December Wrap Up | 2015

December was not a great reading month, having only read two books. December was a busy month filled with Christmas preparations, baking, and spending time with family. Honestly two books was a decent amount of reading, all things considering. I have actually unhauled a book or two that I had featured in my December TBR, and some of them will also be carried over into January.

November Wrap Up | 2015

The month of November was certainty a disappointing month of reading. Of the seven books that I had on my November TBR only four of those books were read, and a attempt was made on a fifth but as I'm only currently about half way through it at the time I won't be able to finish it in time for it to be featured here in this months wrap up. The two and a half books will be carried over into December's TBR.

It may of been a slow reading month, but all of the books that I did read were excellent.

October Wrap Up | 2015

I didn't really exceed my quota this month, and I didn't really bypass my reading of last month either, which, to be truthful, was a disappointing month of reading. I had roughly thirteen books on my TBR for this month and I read seven of them (minus the one that I did not finish). I will be carrying two of those books over to November but I already have November's TBR all planned out so the rest of them will be put on the sidelines for now.

Most of the books that I did read during this month were four to five star books, but there were one or two disappointments within this small stack.

"The Curse of the Wendigo" by Rick Yancey - The Curse of the Wendigo

August 2015 Wrap-Up

August has come to a close and it is now time for my monthly wrap-up to be featured. This month I only read ten books, twelve if you count the two did not finish books that I started and gave up on. I read all of the original books that I listed for my August TBR other then the final book in the Percy Jackson series, "The Last Olympian", by Rick Riordan, and the prequel novel in the Lunar Chronicle series, "Fairest", by Marissa Meyer. I may carry those over to September, or I may not. We shall see. I also read three other books that I did not feature in my August TBR.

Favorite books read in August:

The Chaos Walking trilogy by Patrick Ness
