January 2023
Iβve been reading so much, but I donβt always feel like writing a full review for everything. I was inspired by Modern Mrs. Darcyβs Quick Lit posts, as well as Hannah at So Obsessed Withβs monthly Quick Lit posts, and decided to do something similar as a way to briefly discuss the books I read in a month but donβt write full reviews for.
My 2023 reading is off to a decent start! I finished 11 books last month, including a handful of Lumberjanes graphic novels (I’m aiming to finish that series this year). I’ve already reviewed or have scheduled reviews for everything I read in January (except for the graphic novels), so I’d say my blogging year is off to a slow-but-decent start as well!
Here are the non-graphic novels I read in January (links will take you to my reviews, and the other books will be reviewed this week):
Small Town, Big Magic, Hazel Beck;
Babel, or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators’ Revolution, R.F. Kuang;
The Bookshop on the Shore, Jenny Colgan;
The Opportunist, Elyse Friedman; and
K-Pop Revolution, Stephan Lee.
As for the graphic novels, I read Lumberjanes single issues nos. 62-67. While I still love the art in the series, I do feel like the story ideas were running out of steam by this point. But I’m close to the end and determined to finish the series before the end of the year.
I’ve already finished my first book of February, and will be curling up today with one of my other current reads. Happy reading!
