by // Leave a Comment

January felt like it went very fast but also very slow.  I feel like a lot of things happened and I had to deal with a lot of different circumstances.  However, I’m fully glad that the month wasn’t too bad on the whole and I am also glad that I made it through the month.  I was able to read some pretty good books this month, and I picked up some titles that I am pretty excited about as well.   Let’s just jump into it.  You’ll find my haul and wrap up below the cut.
