I don’t know why I don’t do more of these blog posts more often… I think I may have started but for some reason or whatever, I never continued… 😛
I turned 28 in January, meaning I gave myself free reign to buy whatever books I wanted. Within financial limits, of course. We saw some amazing book releases in January, and it’s only the beginning of year with 11 more months of amazing books! 😮
The Echo of Twilight by Judith Kinghorn – 2/5 stars
A Perilous Undertaking by Deanna Raybourn – 4.5/5 stars
All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven – 4 stars
Fracture Me by Tahereh Mafi – 3/5 stars
Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi – 4/5 stars
The Book Thief by Markus Zusack – 2.5/5 stars
Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare – 4/5 stars
Dark Triumph by Robin LaFevers – 4/5 stars
My reviews vs the book I’ve finished are always staggered on my blog for obvious reasons. 🙂 It helps me have decent reviews to post while not combining them into one post as I used to do in my earlier days of blogging. (Not picture is Clockwork Princess because I forgot to include it in this wrap-up. 😦 )
And my book haul for January…
From bottom to top:
The Fate of the Tearling by Erika Johansen
Morning Star by Pierce Brown
Carve the Mark by Veronica Roth (so excited to meet her in March!)
Vicious by V.E. Schwab

I put myself on a book buying ban for February and March. The North Texas Teen Book Festival is on March 4, and I’m on spring break later in the same month. Husband and I are planning to take a small road trip. It’ll be hard, but I know I can do it! …At least, I hope so. 😀
Don’t forget you can follow me on Twitter and Instagram! ❤
Looks like you had a pretty solid January in reading but my eyes went wide when I spotted a FAVE in your haul…Morning Star *woot woot* THAT BOOK! I still gush about it with the hubby who buddy read it with me smh. I am super hyped up for the spin-off, sucks having to wait til 2018 but SO wroth the wait. More Happy Than Not will wreck you in such a good way lol. Don’t know about you but I loved the Infernal Devices way more than The Mortal Instruments, hope you’re enjoying those. Happy February reading 🙂

Oh my word, I loved Morning Star! It gave me all the feels! I’m excited for the spin-off too and totally gutted the pub date was pushed back! I’m just hoping for more awesomeness because Brown is an amazing writer!
I loved TID more than TMI, too! I finished reading Clockwork Princess a few days ago and I cried like a baby!!
