According to Goodreads tracking, I read 35 books in the
month of January. This includes single
issues comics and a couple dnf’s.
Whether or not I count a book I didn’t finish as a read for the month
depends on when I stopped reading. For
instance, I stopped reading quite a few comics after a couple panels and didn’t
count them, but once I reach between 50-100 pages, anything counts.
According
to my Librarything account, I started the month of January with 11,601 books to
read. I ended it with 11,582 (this
includes books I added that brought during the month).
Highlights
of the month-
Adele by Leila Slimani – This novel is about a woman
who may or may be addicted to sex and how her husband responses to it. The ending will not please all readers, but it
is a gripping read. It’s not so much
that you like the main character, you just want her to do better.
Elvira: The Shape of Elvira #1 and Elvira #1 –
These are so good. I picked them up in
2020 when they were offered for free.
They are quite funny and Elvira kicks butt.
Britain’s Empire by Richard Gott -This was the Verso
Book of the Month. Gott presents a
history of resistance and rebellion to the British and their empire. Really well done.
The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead – just
as good as the first time I read it.
Cut by Mike
Richardson -this graphic novel is a
really good horror story.
Great Courses: The History of Ancient Egypt by Bob Brier – really good and nice in depth
with lists of where to go next.
