Monster in the Moonlight by Annelise Ryan was probably the book I physically read that I most enjoyed (that wasn't a reread)
Rereads:
I'm trying to make sure I get some rereads in this year as I always enjoy it and I was in the habit of not letting myself pick up some old favorites. Here is what I reread in January:
Stars of Fortune by Nora Roberts - Did not disappoint. I always love when a group of characters are putting together a team and I'm not sure anyone does it better than Roberts.
The House on Blackberry Hill by Donna Alward - Meh. It didn't live up to my memory of it. Love the concept but didn't enjoy spending time with characters.
The Body in the Library by Agatha Christie - I'm not sure anytime I read Christie counts as a reread as I'm pretty sure I notice something different. It goes without saying that this was a delight.
This Month's Armchair Travels:
Domestic Travel: I visited California (twice), Idaho, Illinois, Wisconsin, Maine, and Michigan.
International Travel: I visited England 7 times, 1940s Bahamas, Japan, Scotland, Greece, and 1960s Lebanon
How was your January reading? Where did your books take you this past month?
Very nice recap, Katherine! I am doing some rereading as well and I keep wondering if I should go ahead an do reviews or mini-reviews on those. When I'm going through one of these 'mostly rereads' phases, it makes me not have much to share on the blog. I may just start sharing those anyway. The Body In The Library - one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteI still can't believe it's February ! You did some great armchair traveling last month. I love reading books set in the Britsh Isles but I think I will take Greece right now, to stay warmer!
ReplyDeleteYou really did a lot of reading!

Great reading. Especially with the rereading. I only got one reread in January. I liked The Midnight Library, people seem to either be strongly for that book or strongly against it.
ReplyDeleteI need to read more by Sarah Beth Durst. I am glad to hear you enjoyed The Enchanted Greenhouse. I read The Midnight Library and liked it too. :-) I hope you have a great February in books!
ReplyDeleteOh, what was the book set in 1960s Lebanon? ☺
