Well January passed by rather quickly. I had a very good reading month, and in accordance with my goals read less! I made sure I wasn't rushing through books and although I couldn't keep my review books down in total, at least in coming months I can see a little more control coming ! My aim is to shift some of those books that sit on my shelves already!

So how did your reading month pan out?
You had a good month. I agree, January passed in a flash! I've read a few of DeMaio's novels and enjoyed them. That said, I'm a couple behind. I love that they are set at the shore.
ReplyDeleteNice to know you liked the DeMaio books too Mary, so another reason to get onto them for me!
DeleteAnne Shirley is one of my favorite characters of all time. :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy February!
Isn't she a delight. I so look forward to reading the rest of them and revisiting with her.
DeleteEnjoyed all your posts for January Kathryn, now how did January fly by so quickly? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI know. I just turned the calendar into Feb. Ah!! And of course its going to be a shorter month too.
DeleteBridge of Scarlet Leaves has such a beautiful cover. That counts with me! :) It may not keep me in a book, but it will draw me to it.
ReplyDeleteI like it when you do these month in review posts. It's so neat to see the stats. I'll try one out one of these days.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great month for you, Kathryn.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your review of The Wicked City...love Beatriz Williams.
ENJOY the rest of this week, and Happy Reading in February.
Elizabeth
I like the titles you read...some of them I'll be reading. I hope you enjoy Joanne DeMaio's books...I've read them all.
ReplyDeleteHave a great February!
What a great reading month. It looks like you have some great books to read in the future. More to add to my long list of books!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing Anne of Green Gables on your list here. Its one of my favourites and reminds me that I am definitely due for a re-read.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful February.
I am curios about the uf one still
ReplyDeleteYou had a great month, Kathryn!!! I read and really enjoyed Beatriz Williams' newest books - going to see her next week :) I just love the Anne of Green Gables series - have 2 editions of the whole series sitting on my shelves...one of my all-time favorite series!!! Hope you have a great February! Happy Reading :)
ReplyDeletewow, for once, I read as many as you did, lol. Going through the TBR can be very productive
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like 2017 started off with a pretty good reading year for you... Crazy to think that we're already in February now! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteJanuary did pass quickly, I think for me, it was that we had some wonderfully mild days. February may be a bit more wintery for us. Going to keep my eye out for The Bridge of Scarlet Leaves. Looking forward to the Susan Mallery book too.
ReplyDeleteI love Anne of Green Gables! I hope you took the time to check out the miniseries, it's fantastic. Have a happy February!
