January Wrap-up

I had so many grand plans for January. I was planning a whole heap of posts, then instead I decided to not leave my house or talk to anyone for a month; I was barely managing to wake up for work so blogging was not even on my radar. Instead I’ll be publishing those posts this month, we’ll call it a January in February situation, and then I’ll be back on track with this whole book blogging thing.

Anyway, let’s get back into books and talk about what I’m going to be reading this month!

What I read in January

I finally finished The Green Bone Saga and what an epic tale it was. I haven’t read a book with such vivid world building in a while, and it really blew me away even if I did get a little confused by the amount of characters running around. Everything else I read as a bit of palate cleanser with some hits and some misses. The Love Hypothesis really lived up to the TikTok hype for me, but sadly I think I’m outside of the age demographic for XOXO.

Five popular trilogies I haven’t read, but probably should…

It’s time for a list, a rather shocking list! I’m going to go through a few of book series’ that appear in my tbr but for some reason I haven’t picked ’em up yet! This is basically a call out post from me to me so I’ll actually pic these bad boys up.

The Green Bone Saga

Jade City landed on my list after it did the booktube rounds a couple of months ago, and I really want to find out if it’s worth the hype. It’s been kinda hard staying away from spoilers though, so I better read this one as soon as possible.
