January Book Stack

Breaking down what I read in January and how I’d rate everything. Looking back I realized I didn’t fall into my normal routine of reading all one genre which I was happy about. I feel like I usually end up reading 3 of the same books in a row and then mix up plots and characters so I’m going to try to stick to mixing it up this year. I’m currently 6 books into my 75 book goal for the year so we’re moving at a good pace!

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Do I even need to elaborate? Two more left in my reread and I already don’t want it to end.

Black Buck

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Loved this book, it was a great balance between entertainment and life advice. The story telling was captivating and I walked away with a lot of great lessons on sales and how to interact with others.

Leave the World Behind

Rating: 2 out of 5.

I really didn’t enjoy this book. It was hard to follow at times and there were parts included that seemed like big events that we just never heard about again. The ending was abrupt and had no real resolution or explanation to what was happening so I was left really unsatisfied. 

The Dating Plan

Rating: 4 out of 5.

 I loved this one. A sweet romcom with characters you’re really rooting for. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a quick light hearted story. I got this as my Book of the Month for January.

The Only Child

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Randomly picked this up in the used section of the bookstore. It was essentially Mind Hunter meets bad horror movie but I enjoyed it. 

Moonflower Murders

Rating: 5 out of 5.

This was great, if you love mysteries just start diving head first into Anthony Horowitz. This is a follow up to Magpie Murders so I’d suggest reading that first.
