What Anna Read in January

Anna and AlexisLeave a comment

I only read 4 books in January, which is low for me. However, I’m proud of the mix of books I read. I kicked off the year with the conclusion to a well-loved YA fantasy duology, Crooked Kingdom. The very same day I finished it, coincidentally, Netflix announced that they are going to be doing a series set in the Grishaverse!

I’m also still really into memoirs and loved this one by Nell Stevens. I hope to continue to read at least one memoir a month!

Our Endless Numbered Days hooked me on Claire Fuller, and I’ll be picking up Bitter Orange soon. And look out for my review of Grant Park tomorrow!

I lowered my reading goal for 2019 because I knew I was going to be really busy this year, but also because I want to read more classics. That didn’t happen in January, but I think it will in February! Nonetheless, I enjoyed all of these books and gave them each 4 stars.

What Anna’s Currently Reading!

Anna: 2019 has unfortunately been off to a slow reading start for me—I’ve just been so busy this week! Here’s what I’ve found time to dive into, regardless.

Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo is the conclusion to the Six of Crows Duology, which made it onto Alexis’s top reads of 2018. I read Six of Crows over the summer, but I have a bad habit of never finishing series, which I hope to amend this year. We also got this book signed by Bardugo herself! I haven’t read YA fantasy in a while and am immensely enjoying the fantastic character building.

I also just started reading Grant Park by Leonard Pitts Jr. My fiance and I chose this for our monthly “book club.” I don’t think I’ve ever read a political thriller, so I’m excited for this one!
