Hello friends!

I hope you’re all doing well! Today I’m bringing you all the books I read in January – our first Wrap-up of the year yay!

I’ll admit my first reading month of the year did not go as smoothly as I would. It was a bit of a mess, but I was still able to read a few books. I have so much going on that reading just wasn’t a priority this month – or… planned reading, should I say instead?

I ended up reading only one book from my TBR – still better than none, right? – which was a volume from the manga I’m currently reading. And I also listened to 3 audiobooks and read 2 ebooks – all were unplanned. Ok, let’s take a look at the books, shall we?

1. Even Urologists Get Kidney Stones by Evan R. Goldfischer: 4/5⭐

This was a book I picked up randomly! Apparently, I have a tendency to develop kidney stones and since I’m a reader… why not read a few books on the subject to keep myself well informed? This was the first one I found and I thought the title was interesting, so I started reading it and ended up reading the entire thing in a sitting! It was very informative and had a very interesting perspective since the kidney stone surgeon who wrote the book shared his own experience of having a kidney stone.

2. Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov: 4/5⭐

Another book was picked randomly during the month! I’ve been eyeing this book for a very long time, but to be honest, I never dared to start it. I knew it was going to be a difficult book to read, but it felt like the right time had come so I finally grabbed it! Well, I was right, it was disturbing, but it was very well-written and put together! I understand why this is a classic now.

3. Pita-Ten Vol. 3 by Koge-Donbo: 3.5/5⭐

The only book I read from my TBR! This month I continued the manga I’m currently reading by picking up the third volume. So far so good, but I still prefer the anime version! We’ll see how the rest of the volumes go. I’m planning on reading the fourth volume in February.

4. Dear Bridget, I Want You by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland: 3.25/5⭐

Another book I started randomly this month. I just wanted something fun and light, so I picked up a random romance from my TBR! This ended up being just an okay romance – nothing bad, but also nothing extraordinary -, but I’m still glad I read it because it made me want to read more! I’ll probably pick up a few more romances after reading this, not going to lie to you!

5. Sea Witch (Sea Witch #1) by Sarah Henning: 3.25/5⭐

I’ve started the year the right way by reading a book from my “30 Oldest Books on my TBR” list! I can’t even remember how long this was been on my TBR, but I’m so glad I finally read it! It was just an okay read at the end of the day, but it was entertaining.

6. Paris: The Memoir by Paris Hilton: 4.25/5⭐

Another book I picked randomly this month was Paris Hilton’s memoir “Paris: The Memoir”. I admit I wasn’t expecting what she talked about in the book, but I was pleasantly surprised by her honesty and humility. It was a very eye-opening memoir and it made me think of how quickly and easily we judge people we know nothing about. She talked about some very serious issues and I’m glad she brought them to light. Very impressed with this one!

As usual, I’ll be posting the reviews for these books soon.

What about you guys? How was your reading month? Let me know in the comments! Thank you for reading friends, I’ll catch you guys later!
