January Wrap-up


I feel like it is time to start doing monthly wrap-up posts again.  This way I can share all of the books I read in the past month, as well as which of my challenges (and/or challenge prompts) they helped to fulfill.

1.  The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros.  This was the first buddy read of the year in my favorite Facebook reading group Reading Brings Us Together #RBUT.  This book counted toward my Mount TBR challenge since I owned my copy prior to 1/1/20.  I also used it for my #RBUT challenge, it fit perfectly in the A book by a new to you RBUT author prompt. I also used it for the 2020 Book Hoarder reading challenge prompt New To You Author. Here is a link to my review on Goodreads The Last Letter

2. The Hexorcist by Lily Harper Hart  This book quickly went on to my Mount TBR challenge, and as of yet I haven't found any way to put it on my other challenges. Here is a link to my review on Goodreads  The Hexorcist

3. Where The Little Birds Go by B. Celeste This was my first ARC of the year for me. I was able to use this book for the #RBUT challenge prompt A Book With A Predominately Blue Cover.  Here is a link to my review on Goodreads Where The Little Birds Go

4. Morning Star by S. Massery If I haven't already said this before S. Massery has quickly become one of my favorite authors.  When I say this I mean like seriously she is in my top 5.  She is my only one-click author.  So I read this as an ARC, but it also hit my kindle the moment it went live on Amazon.  I used this book for the PopSugar Challenge prompt A Book That's Published in 2020.  I also used it for my #RBUT challenge prompt A Book With Less Than 500 Reviews on Goodreads or Amazon.  It was also a perfect fit for the 2020 Book Hoarder challenge prompt STAR- Cover or Title.   Here is a link to my review on Goodreads Morning Star

5. Almost Perfect by Claudia Burgoa  Have you been counting?  If so you will have realized we are now at ARC number 3 for the month/year.  I joined Claudia Burgoa's ARC team at the end of 2018 when she had sign-ups for 2019.  I have enjoyed her work so much that I just had to stay on the team again this year.  While I haven't yet read all of her work, I truly enjoy every one I have read so far.  Since Hannah (the female MC) wears glasses I used this book for the PopSugar Challenge Advanced Prompt A Book With A Character With A Vision Impairment or Enhancement (A Nod to 20/20 Vision).  Here is a link to my review on Goodreads Almost Perfect

6.  Trail of Broken Wings by Sejal Badani  I used this incredible story for the PopSugar Challenge Prompt A Book By A WOC.  Here is a link to my review on Goodreads Trail of Broken Wings

7.  The Butterfly Garden by Dot Hutchison   This book was book 3 on my Mount TBR challenge.  I actually purchased it in 2018 for my first attempt at the PopSugar Challenge.  I can't remember which prompt I had planned to use it for, but I obviously ended up choosing another book I read that year.  I did use this book for the 2020 Book Hoarder Challenge prompt Over 1000 Ratings on Goodreads.  It is a really good book, and I hope to be able to read the rest of the books in the series by the end of this year.  Here is a link to my review on Goodreads The Butterfly Garden

8.  Where The Little Birds Are by B. Celeste Now we have reached ARC number 4.  This was book 2 in the Little Birds duet by B. Celeste.  I was introduced to author B. Celeste towards the end of 2019 and quickly joined her street team.  I have read all but 2 of her books so far, I owe both of them and plan to read them soon.  Here is a link to my review on Goodreads Where The Little Birds Are

9. Wicked Dreams by S. Massery  ARC number 5 and the last one for January.  This book is amazing and just went live today!!!!  I used this for my 2020 Book Hoarder prompt Read In A Day and the PopSugar Challenge Advanced Prompt A Book Written By An Author In Their 20s.  Here is a link to my review on Goodreads Wicked Dreams

10. The Truth About Heartbreak by B. Celeste  While I did end up using this book for my Mount TBR challenge and the 2020 Book Hoarder prompt Over 475 pages, I honestly picked this one up this month on my own.  It was one of B. Celeste's that I owned but hadn't read yet so I read it.  Here is a link to my review on Goodreads The Truth About Heartbreak

11.  Life Rewritten by Andrea Johnston  I used this one for my Mount TBR challenge and also for the PopSugar Challenge prompt A Book That Has A Book On The Cover.  Since I feel this would make a great Rom Com movie I also used it for the 2020 Book Hoarder Challenge prompt Make It A Movie Please!  Here is a link to my review on Goodreads Life Rewritten
