Hello hello! The first month of 2018 is officially over and it's time to talk about all the books I read in January. To avoid sounding repetitive with what I said in the video, I thought I'd take the time to talk about some books I'm excited about getting to in February. 

I'm really terrible at sticking to TBRs because if I create a list and then look back at it when I'm trying to find something to read, I don't feel like reading any of them (if that makes sense...) But, I thought it'd be fun to just ramble about some books I would be interested in getting to...it's all about tricking my brain right?

So first on my list, if you've seen any of my 2017 favorite-related content, you'll know how much I adored the Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco. I've magically been gifted an ARC of The Heart Forger which isn't out until March so I'm definitely planning on rereading the Bone Witch in February and maybe even start the Heart Forger.

I'm currently reading Pachinko by Min Jin Lee and hopefully will get to finish it in February. It's such a historically dense novel that I'm having a bit of trouble getting through the 500 something pages. 

I am going to be participating in two blog tours in February so I'm not going to get into those (for the surprise factor, I guess.) That means I've already got 4-5 books on my TBR for February that I'll most likely get to. That's already a lot comparing it to the seven books I completed in January if I want to add any other spontaneous reads throughout the month.

 According to my Goodreads calculations, I've read a total of 3128 pages and have accomplished 12% of my Goodreads challenge. That's not too bad for the start of the year - now I just have to push through my mountains of work and not fall into a reading slump =_=
