January Wrap-Up Hello Everyone! I'm getting this post up much later than expected, but my January wrap-up is finally here! I'm going to format this post similar to how I used to format my weekly wrap-up points with a section about books, general updates, and an in case you missed it section. I finished reading five books in January, which works out to around 1782 pages.

This is much later than planned, but my January Wrap-Up is finally here!

February Hopefuls Hello Everyone! Today I'm sharing my February hopefuls list! I have eight books on my list this month and part of me is concerned that I may have over-committed myself. That being said, the weather has been awful, so maybe I'll spend a lot of time reading this month. I also think I might be okay since four of the books are physical books and the other four are eBooks, so I should be able to juggle multiple books at a time.

Today on the blog I'm sharing my February Hopefuls list!
