Since I am doing a few challenges this year I thought I would use this space as an update for how I am doing with the challenges and how my month went in reading. The book report is all about the books.
I did very good this month, at least compared to last year. Had my first 5 star review (last one was September 2018) and have been giving out more 3 stars then I have had in a while. I believe my mood is changing to a different genre and I couldn’t be happier because I LOVE fantasy and apparently I am craving SciFi also. If I want to escape reality these are the best options for it. lol
LifeL1k3 was amazing, I can’t wait for the next book which just so happens to come out on my birthday!
For the Reading Assignment I have decided to pick KN Lee for the first semester. I am loving her books, I am going to switch in the summer semester to another author but for now I am planning to binge as much as I can because she has a TON of books that are just amazing and since some of them are fantasy this is a prefect fix for my current mood.
I am hoping my reading will continue like this in Feb. I want to get some audio books in if I can. I plan to start listening to those when I start designing again at the end of this month. Fingers crossed this is a good reading year!

I loved LifeL1k3 too! And how fun that you get the sequel for your birthday! 🙂
Man! You are killing it with the reading, Michelle! I’ve only read 4 books so far this year!! *gasp* It’s weird because I usually read 10 books a month. But my reading has been S…L…O…W so far this year. And it’s not the books I’ve read. It’s just me and life. Anyway, you go girl! I hope you continue picking books that rock your world – or at least don’t suck. 😉
Sorry I’ve been MIA. Again – life. I know you understand. Miss you!! {{{big hugs}}}
I heard that Life Like was amazing! I am so glad I got this one on my nightstand. I can’t wait to read it. Looks like your read some cool books. Great job on your challenge and here’s to an even better Feb!

Your are on a roll and read more than me!!! 🙂
Yay for 5 heart reads. I find it is important for me to have some genre changes. If I do only one thing all the time, I can’t do it. I don’t know if I get bored or too critical or what. I need some variety, even if they are all genres I love. I hope you continue to do so well!
Congrats on finding a 5-star book! Those are pretty rare for me, too. Great job with your challenges. Happy February!
