Monthly Wrap Up/What’s on my Plate: Jan/Feb

I’m trying to post a wrap up for the end of each month, mainly to help me to keep track of my reading and at the same time look at what I’m intending to read during the month ahead (inspired by Books Bones and Buffy’s What’s on My Plate.

I didn’t post a ‘What’s on my Plate’ for January so this will be my first post for 2024.

Here’s what I read during January:

  1. Miss Austen Investigates, the Hapless Milliner by Jessica Bull
  2. The City of Stardust by Georgia Summers
  3. Relight My Fire by CK McDonnell
  4. The September House by Carissa Orlando
  5. The Heiress by Rachel Hawkins
  6. Only If you’re Lucky by Stacy Willingham
  7. Maude Horton’s Glorious Revenge by Lizzie Pook
  8. 1 x SPFBO Finalist
  9. What Moves the Dead by T Kingfisher
  10. 1 x SPFBO Finalist

I managed to read and review all my January books and catch up with some late reviews.  For the month of Feburary these are the books that I will be reading (in fact I’ve already made a start, I’ve read two, made a start on a third and reviewed one of the books listed.  Hopefully I can complete the remaining books and at least one SPFBO finalist (we’ll see, February is a short month but I’d like to stay on track if possible).

  1. Maude Horton’s Glorious Revenge by Lizzie Pook – read and reviewed
  2. Only If you’re Lucky by Stacy Willingham  – read and awaiting review
  3. Everyone Who Can Forgive Me Is Dead – currently reading
  4. The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett
  5. The Trials of Empire by Richard Swan
  6. The Briar Book of the Dead by AG Slatter
  7. What Feasts at Night by T Kingfisher
  8. An Education in Malice by ST Gibson
  9. Empire of the Damned by Jay Kristoff

    The Tainted Cup has the fantasy murder mystery theme that I’m in the reading mood for at the moment, and I can’t wait to read more about the characters from What Moves the Dead.
    Hope you have a good February 😀

    February is pretty epic, and we share quite a few books. I’m itching to start The Tainted Cup, but first I’ve got to read An Education in Malice😁

      Yes, I had a lot of books for feb with a lot of the same deadlines – why?
      Anyway, I managed to get a head start so at the moment I think I’m going to complete all my review books.

    Sounds like a very productive month. Catching up on reviews is something I always struggle with.

    • @lynnsbooks's avatar @lynnsbooks

      Yes, I did get behind with reviews which I really don’t like – it stresses me out – I prefer to write things up whilst they’re still fresh.

        Same here, although I have a bad habit of always putting off drafting my reviews.

    I am mighty undecided about Kristoff’s book. I loved the first one but… Not really? I know it doesn’t make sense but I feel like the book was a lot of work and, even if I enjoyed the first one I am not so sure about continuing the series. So for now it’s on standby and then, later on, I will decide!
    I hope your February will be amazing!!

      I know what you mean. The first book took me a long time to get into. I found myself eye rolling – a lot. I’ve only got a sampler of the second – I don’t usually request samplers and wasn’t aware it was only a sampler when I did so – but, I’ll give it a shot and see if I want to continue.
