January 2021 Wrap-Up

I have to say, I’m pleasantly surprised by my reading in this first month of 2021. I read a lot of books that I really enjoyed so I am very excited to how the year has started out – at least reading wise.

As always click on the title to read my review. And all the thanks to Romie @RomieWeDeserveLove for the rep indicators. The 🏳️‍🌈 means lgbtq rep, ☀️ means major characters of color, and 🌸 means mental illness, disability, abuse, or trauma rep. I’m adding 📚 which will indicate my rereads, 🎧 for my audiobooks, 📑 for non-fiction and true crime, & ❌ for books I DNF’d. Hopefully I won’t have to use that last one a lot.

Least Favorite Book

Lore by Alexandra Bracken

I just wanted so much more from this story and I found the worldbuilding to be unfortunately lacking, which was very sad for me. 

Favorite Book

A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire by Jennifer L. Armentrout

I’ve missed reading paranormal romance stories and this one was so much fun and I loved every second of it.

First Lines Fridays

I had every intention of doing these this month, but time literally just got away from me and I kind forgot. But they will be back next month.

Just a quick question I was curious about, would y’all like for me to include any other media (music, TV shows, movies) that I consume during the month or should I stick to just bookish things. Let me know what you think!
