I am very, very, very, late with this and I want to apologize. I almost had a perfect month of reading last month with my kindle.

AND THEN I forgot one day and ruined my whole streak. honestly, I was pretty upset over the whole thing as you can see it ruined the start of April a little for me. But I did get a lot of books finished last month, and I’m very close to already hitting my Goodreads goal for the year. What are your thoughts on changing the goal if you hit it early? While mine may be a smaller number, I think I will leave it as is because I was not expecting to be able to read as much as I have this year. It’s been an uphill battle ever since Covid hit with getting back in to the reading that I used to be able to do. Just 5 years ago in 2018 I had already finished 50 books for the year by this point. So for myself, I think where I’m at is a good point and I will leave it as is to show how much more I could achieve than I had originally thought. Anyway, enough with the babbling, let me get in to the wrap up of books from last month.

Despite being a shorter month, I was able to read the same amount of books as I was for January! I’m pretty proud with how I am doing with my reading goal so far this year, and if I end up hitting it early in the year I’m really interested to see how many books I can end up reading! I also actually finished some TBR books this month so I feel pretty proud of that, even some of the others have been started I just haven’t finished them yet, which is okay! So let’s get just right on it to the wrap up now!

It has been such a LONG time since I have been able to write one of these posts. Honestly I am pretty proud of myself for being able to finish 3 books and 3 manga this past month. Going from someone who has been struggling to read lately to finishing 3 whole books, one of which I got to physically read, is such a big step in the right direction. Of course I have been setting my monthly TBRs pretty high, considering I only set a goal of reading 30 books this year, but that’s because I like to think of it as giving myself options but also forcing myself to commit to things I should have already taken care of. So without further rambling, here are the 6 books and my ratings from January!

So with the start of another month comes the end of another reading month, and I have to say I did some pretty good reading this past month. I ended up reading 15 things, granted not all of them were on my TBR but I still finished them all. I also have TEN books on my currently reading shelf so hopefully you will see those at the end of this month’s wrap up. But for now, here is what I finished.
