January Book Haul & Wrap Up | 2017

Hello everyone! Welcome to my first Book Haul & Wrap up of 2017! I can honestly say that I never thought that I would make it to be 22 years old, nevertheless make it to 2017. So here I am with January’s Book Haul & Wrap Up!

The books I bought/received this month are:

• The Unexpected Everything by Morgan Matson
• Just One Day (Just One Day, #1) by Gayle Forman
• Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (The Original Screenplay) by J.K. Rowling***
• Devil You Know (Butcher Boys, #1) by Max Henry*
• Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell**
• Starr Lost (Starr Fall Book Two) by Kim Briggs
• A Demon Bound (Imp, #1) by Debra Dunbar*
• The Debt by Karina Halle
• The White Aura by Felicia Tatum

*Free Download on Kobo.com !
**It was given back to me from my sister
***I received Fantastic Beasts from a friend this month since we weren’t able to meet up around Christmas.

I actually set up a loose TBR pile for January. As you can see to the left, there are 10 books there. The books are as from left to right:

•  Kinslayer (The Lotus War, #2) by Jay Kristoff
• Moon Chosen by P.C. Cast
• True Born by L.E. Sterling
• Dream a Little Dream by Kerstin Gier
• Lead (Stage Dive, #3) by Kylie Scott
• Wandering Star (Zodiac, #2) by Romina Russell
• Zodiac by Romina Russell
• And We Stay by Jenny Hubbard
• The Eternity Cure (Blood of Eden, #2) by Julie Kagawa
• The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon

I have got to be honest with you. I haven’t really been reading all that much because I’ve been devouring my time with watching anime. I still think about books and all of that hub-bub, but my love for anime has come back full force lately. So the anime universe has taken up a lot of my time! I’m committed to reading though. I am not giving up on my love for books just because anime is back in my life.

The books I read this month are:

• True Born by L.E. Sterling
• Hunting Ground (Alpha & Omega, #2) by Patricia Briggs
• Lead (Stage Dive, #3) by Kylie Scott
• Kinslayer (Stormdancer, #2) by Jay Kristoff
• Tell the Wind and Fire by Sarah Rees Brennan
• Shadowlands (Shadowlands, #1) by Kate Brian

Other general thoughts as of late:

I’ve changed my Goodreads Challenge from my original yearly 50 books to 25 books. I’m planning to be more out and about this year, so I won’t have time to read a lot like I did in 2016. So 25 books this year would be perfect. If I read less, that’s okay, and if I read more than 25 books, then great!

I can sense that a reading slump is near — I don’t mind it actually. It took me way longer than expected to finish reading Tell the Wind and Fire (about a week or so). With having all of this free time on my hands, I’ll be able to do more stuff!

Happy Reading!
