How was your January?
I'm glad it's finally over. I think January took 5 years from me but we survived.
I read 3 books, 2 books were a reread in preparation for Onyx Storm. I DNFed one arc and read over 1,700 pages!
I realize I made a mistake in my journal but I did read one kindle book. All is corrected.

January Reading Wrap Up

I read 7 books this month. Here's how I rated them:

The Skull, Jon Klassen
5⭐️
A haunting atmospheric kids book with beautiful art. Loved it.

The Z Word, Lindsay King-Miller
2.5 ⭐️
Didn't really enjoy this much. The characters were annoying to me lol

The Year of Less, Cait Flanders
5 ⭐️
I've already talked about this one, but yeah. A great nonfiction.

Rooted, Lyanda Lynn Haupt
4⭐️
Another nonfiction. I know I liked it but I can't really remember it lol

Yellowface, R F Kuang
4.5 ⭐️
I can see why this one is so popular! Really fun to read (but does lose some steam at the end imo)

Night-Gaunts, Joyce Carol Oats
4⭐️
A good collection of short stories.

The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse, Charlie Mackesy
4⭐️
Sweet, not my usually type of book. Sort of a self-help book.

A great month overall. Still deciding if I should have this be a book-focused account, like my ig was, or just post anything I want.

Pixelfed does give me early ig vibes, back when it was kind of quiet and wholesome. Let's see how long it lasts 😅

Januar Wrap-up

Diesen Januar ist eigentlich nicht viel passiert, aber ich habe es endlich wieder geschafft ein paar Bücher zu lesen und zu hören und sogar Reviews zu schreiben. Und ich merke dass ich auch wieder wirklich Freude daran habe. Außerdem bin ich diesen Monat 30 geworden, habe viel gute (neue) Musik gehört (Poesy, The Halo Effect, die neuen Alben von Saltatio Mortis, Nightwish und Subway to Sally, nicht neu aber immer wieder super Sieben von Pascow), mich über die (Welt)-politische Lage aufgeregt (🙈🙈) und die Ruhe beim Winterbaumschnitt genossen.

Alle Bücher sind leider nicht auf dem Bild, da ich nicht alle physisch zu Hause hatte.

📚 Rhythm of War 4,75/5
📚 Wind and Truth 5/5
beide Brandon Sanderson

📚 Winter im Mumintal (reread) 4,75/5
📚 Das Winterbuch 4/5
beide Tove Jansson

📚 Divine Heart (ebook), Garrett Leigh 4/5
📚 Jonny Appleseed, Joshua Whitehead 4,25/5

Mein Highlight war auf jeden Fall Wind and Truth, dicht gefolgt von Rhythm of War aber auch Jonny Appleseed konnte Eindruck hinterlassen und die Mumins sind absolute All-time Favorites von mir. 📚📚
