How is it the end of January already? Although January always does feel like a very long month doesn’t it? I was doing so well with my reading coming into the new year but I think as I usually take a couple of days off around the holidays, I feel like I will always have that extra time and have big plans and then reality hits. Haha…
So even though it’s a long month, my reading has been very slow going. I’ve been quite busy with work but I’m also really carving out time for my crafty/creative practice. So that means that I am reading every day but maybe not as much.
That means that in January I only finished two books: The Librarianist by Patrick deWitt and The Lock Artist by Steve Hamilton. I really enjoyed The Lock Artist and my mystery book group for the most part gave it a thumbs up also.
I’m going in to February with three books and I still need to add a book for the Japanese Literature reading challenge. Maybe the month also calls for a bit of romance reading. We’ll see.
Anyway, I feel like I have so much more to share but I’m sitting here yawning and need to get to bed because I have back-to-back meetings tomorrow. I hope you all had a great reading month and let me know if you had any outstanding reads!
Hey Iliana, glad to hear that you are spending time with your creative side. The reading will come along. I’m just delighted that the sun has been out this week and it’s not so gray and gloomy. And I’m very ready for the spring wildflowers to show up. Hope you have a good February!
It sounds like you’ve been busy/productive, Iliana. I read quite a few books, but only one or two that I absolutely loved. I’ll get my summary posted tomorrow. Hope you’re enjoying some nice weather!
The Lock Artist sounds like a good one. And it can be so hard to make time for all the things you want to do…and all the things you don’t want to do but have to. There are some weeks where I don’t have much time for reading either.
I like the sound of The Lock Artist and am glad you enjoyed it. My January flew by. I am glad you’ve been able to make time for your creative projects. I hope you have a great February and fit in more reading if you are able.
