Taylor’s January Wrap Up | 2017
It’s been a long time since I’ve done a wrap up! I lost track of time last year and I couldn’t keep up with them on time but I’m determined to get stay on track this year. I’m not sure if I’ll be posting a TBR each month because I rarely stick with them but I’ll be including the two books I’ll be reading for Bibliophile Academy’s monthly readalongs.
I read a decent amount of books in January. I wish I had read more of the books I planned on reading but like I said, I’m awful at TBRs. I set my GoodReads goal at 200 books for the third year in a row. I hit my goal in 2015 but I was 44 books short in 2016. I’m not sure I’ll be able to read 200 books this year, but hopefully I can stick to 18-19 books a month. I did read 17 books in January, mostly in the last half. I read some really great books last month. Actually, there was only one book I didn’t like. Hopefully I can continue reading 4 and 5 star books for the rest of the year.
