January Wrap Up (2022)

I have had a fantastic month reading-wise. I really surprised myself with how much I actually read. The blog on the other hand has suffered slightly so hopefully I'll find a better balance in February...

Books Read

I read a total of 9 books and 3,175 pages. I am so happy with this. I'm pretty sure this is the highest number of pages I've ever read in a month- which is amazing!


Average rating

4.2 - This is amazing! Looks like I've been really getting on with my books choices.

Most Read Source

Already owned - This is great as it means that I'm actually getting through my TBR!

Most Read Format

Physical - Same as last month so no surprise here either.

Most Read Genre

Fantasy - This is actually the same as last month. I have been in a bit of a fantasy kick recently so again I'm not surprised.

Most Read Age Range

Adult - Totally as expected.

Favourite read

I absolutely adored reading this book. I just loved reading everything Dave Grohl had to say, and it's one autobiography I can see myself re-reading. In fact, I've already started reading it a second time via listening to it on Audible.




Worst read

Okay, so there wasn't really anything terrible about this book. It was a nice enough story, even if the characters are potentially a bit forgettable. But I listened to the audiobook of this and one of the characters is English so the narrative put on a godawful posh English accent that just distracted me from the entire story (even though it was a side character). It sounded like listening to the Queen! I don't know anyone besides the Royal family that speaks that way!

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by  The Broke and The Bookish . This week's topic is a top ten new to me authors of 2015. I have read so many new to me authors this year and it's been brilliant! I'm not sure if I can limit this list to only 10!

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I'd Love Santa to Leave for Me

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by  The Broke and The Bookish . This week's topic is the top ten books I wouldn't mind Santa leaving under my tree. Really I'd welcome all books under the tree but these are ones that I've seen around a lot or recently.

Feature and Follow (29 May)

The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of  Parajunkee’s View  and Alison of  Alison Can Read . Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs! I'm one of the featured blogs this week! Along with Amanda of  The Darling Bookworm . This week’s Question: How many books have you got on your TBR list? I recently had a bit of a cull of my TBR list so now it is sitting at 269. I'm trying my hardest to get it below 200 by the end of the year but I really don't see it happening. I'd currently be happy if I managed to get it below 225. However, I did recently have a look through my TBR on Goodreads and deleted a few books that I don't think I will actually ever read - I'm not even to sure how they got there anyway.
