January flew by for me, how about you? I posted ten reviews this month, and I’m very proud of that number:-) It was month with ratings all over the place, but overall I’m pretty happy with the books I read. I also read my first TBR Jar Challenge book (which ended up in the #1 spot!), so I’m off to a good start. Here are my January books, and you can click on the titles to read my reviews:
Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt
The Heiress by Rachel Hawkins
Emily Wilde’s Map of the Otherlands by Heather Fawcett
The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent
Thirteen Ways to Kill Lulabelle Rock by Maud Woolf
The Tusks of Extinction by Ray Nayler
Mislaid in Parts Half-Known by Seanan McGuire
The Sanctuary by Andrew Hunter Murray
You need to read Journal of an Undead: Love Stories if you really want to challenge yourself. I also loved Remarkably Bright Creatures, as a big fan of the octopus myself. Also read one called Ill Will by Dan Chaon, that was incredibly challenging, a bit much at times. But predictable, for as large a novel as it is.
I’ll have to check those out!
Great wrap-up, Tammy! 😀 You read so many great books. Looks like a good start of the new year! Hopefully February will be just as good.
Thanks Stephanie! It was a good month:-)
And I was relatively proud of getting through six books til I saw Suzy’s number lol. Glad you had a good month Tammy!! Hope the rest of the year is as productive!
Ha ha Susy is out of control! LOL Thanks Will:-)
Agreed!
You did well and read some you really enjoyed. And that’s what is all about. (fyi I may be sending you some weird emails for a couple days until things get straightened out. You were in the batch of 10 which got imported).

I did leave a comment on one of your posts that I got a Follow It notification from you, so I’m hoping that works!
That’s a lot of reading! 🙂
Ha ha yes, it sure felt like a lot:-)
Looks like you posted a lot of book reviews this month, too! There’s something about January that seems to allow me more time to read & review. I think it was the same for me last year haha.
I like to read January releases in December, which I was able to do this year, so I did get ahead a bit:-)
Great collection, and for the first time ever, we have 1 book in common in the same month!!
Looking forward to your February plate

Thanks Emma! I know we read such different books, so it’s nice to have overlap sometimes.
Hard to believe it’s the last day of the month. It really did fly by this year. My two favorite books read this month couldn’t be any more different from one another: Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree and Days at the Morisaki Bookshop by Satoshi Yagisawa. Of yours I’m most interested in trying Remarkably Bright Creatures.
I hope you get the chance to read Remarkably Bright Creatures, it’s such a feel good story:-)
That’s a great month. I just love the covers of the fantasy novels. Hope February is filled with awesome books.

There are some good covers, right? Thanks Role:-)
Great month! Hope February is great too!

Thanks Stormi!
It does feel like January went by quickly. I don’t have a fav book of the month, but it was fun rereading some of the books from the Witches subseries of the Discworld books.
Hopefully you’ll find a favorite in February:-)
10 reviews are a lot!! You did great, and you had a lot of good books too!! I hope February will be an amazing month!!
Thanks Susy! I have high hopes for February:-)
What a great month, I hope February is just as good for you. I read more than usual but haven’t managed to get reviews posted yet so I’m catching up a little bit 😀
I feel like I’m already behind with February, lol. But hopefully we’ll both catch up!
What a great month and for the most part, they were all decent reads so that’s even better! How awesome that your TBR jar pick landed in the top spot!

I’m really surprised the TBR pick was my favorite book, I guess that’s a good case for continuing to read my own books!
What a fantastic month of reading, Tammy! Keep it up. Here’s to an even more exciting month of reading in February! 😀

I think I also read 10 books in January – although I’m still catching up with some reviews.
