Wow! It’s already the end of January! Don’t know about you guys, but this snuck up on me… Oh well, on with the wrap-up!!
Kayla
Oh wow. I think I read a lot more this month because of the bibliothon. I know I spent that week reading in every moment of downtime I had and listening to audiobooks as well. I didn’t read all the books on my TBR but ended up finishing a total of 26 books. Still Me barely made it in since it only came out on the 30th but it was so good (review soon!) that I finished it in 2 days.
I did however fail to get as many reviews up this past month so I’m going to put a review schedule up for myself and get either books from Jan up or books I’m reading, the goal will be 2-3 a week. So look forward to one soon!

Dropped
See my review on the first book in the series and you will know why I didn’t continue on…
Wonderful wrap-up! you both read so many books! It’s been years since I read Patricia Briggs Mercy Thompson novels. I audiobooked the first 6 books then burned out lol, may have to return to that world someday soon 🙂 Tamora Pierce is a new to me author, I picked up a copy of Tempests of Slaughter but would really like to read her Alana Quartet before reading it. LOVED Eliza & Her Monsters, need more Francesca Zappia & I had no idea Me Before You was a series now. I really enjoyed the first book so I’m definitely going to have to check out the 2nd book. Looks like you had a quality reading mth Kayla & Neko I’ll take you saving us from the monsters over reading any time 😉
Happy reading! ❤ ❤ ❤

The Alanna quartet is amazing and a really good place to start. It’s crazy to think how old those books are. Just reminds me that I don’t need to try and read all the new stuff.

I would recommend getting Alpha and Omega and reading in the the recommended order, things will make more sense. Alpha and Omega is the same universe just a different group

I am going to have to start with Moon Called since my digital library is lacking when it comes to this series. I am waiting for a hold of the Shifting Shadows book, but I will read moon Called in the meantime! Thank you for the advice!
