January Wrap-Up & TBR Jar Hopes

-

 

Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons,

      January was a great reading month for me. I abandoned my TBR pile, and began using a TBR jar instead. Pulling books out and seeing what I get is a fun, almost Christmas morning, feeling. I also have since added some digital books that I have not touched in over five years. With this system working well, I know I will have a great reading year.

In January I read the following (my reviews are linked with each title):

  1. Not a Happy Family by Shari Lapena
  2. The Last Word by Taylor Adams
  3. With a Vengeance by Riley Sager

   My favorite book of the month:

 TBR Jar hopes for February include:

  • Bad Liar by Tami Hoag
  • Don't Let Him In by Lisa Jewell
  • Game of Lies by Clare Mackintosh
  • Tell Me What You Did by Carter Wilson
  • The Last Passenger by Will Dean
  • The Woman in Suite 11 by Ruth Ware

     Let me know what you are reading in the comments below.

For others an audio book on the way to work saves them time. But then there are readers like myself that take it a few steps further. I utilize many forms of reading when taking on a book. With my Goodreads and Xepherus Reads reading challenge s underway, I have found some great ways to keep on reading.   AUDIOBOOK/ BOOK COMBINATION-  I have trouble with reading from time to time. I will begin a paragraph, but then I veer off track and lose my place. This can sometimes keep me reading a page over and over. Therefore I use an audio book in conjunction with my physical book, so that I can read along with the words as the narrator presents the material. This is most helpful while reading my Kindle, which when paired up with audio book through their Whis...
