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.

I can’t believe we’ve come to the end of 2021. It’s been one heck of a year on a personal level and on a world level. December has been kind to me. I turned thirty and I got engaged. I spent quality time with friends and family, and I read some pretty good books. I also got some pretty good books as gifts and pre-orders.

November was a really interesting month for me. I read a lot of books, but I also didn’t have nearly as much time for reading as I usually do as I started a course on becoming a teacher librarian. It’s really interesting, but with that on top of teaching full time, I didn’t get as much reading as I wanted to done. However, I’m still happy with what I read. Let’s jump into it.

October wasn’t my best reading month. I enjoyed a lot of what I read, but I wanted to read more spooky books. It just didn’t seem to work out for me too well. I also got a good collection of really exciting books in this month. I’ve already read a few and I’m really excited about them.
