Tags: January/February, Monthly Wrap Up, What's on my Plate
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.
In this post I shall be looking at the reading I completed during January and also setting out what I’m hoping to achieve during February. I will say that, firstly, I cannot believe that January is nearly complete – where did the time go. Secondly, I have been really busy and I also had a few days with a nasty stomach upset but even so. My reading is definitely not back up to scratch, I have a few outstanding posts and I haven’t caught up with comments and blog hopping yet. But, I’m not worried. I can get back on track (haha, I hope so anyway).
This month I’ve read:
- The House of Frost and Feathers by Lauren Wiesebron
- Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix
- Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney
- Daughter of Chaos by A S Webb
I’ve also read two of my SPFBO finalists and by the time this post goes live I hope to have completed one of my February review books, so, all going well, 7 books in total.
Here’s what I’m hoping to read in February:
- Black Woods, Blue Sky by Eowyn Ivey
- Grave Empire by Richard Swan – already started this and hoping to complete shortly
- The Crimson Road by AG Slatter
- Emily Wilde’s Compendium of Lost Tales by Heather Fawcett
- You Are Fatally Invited by Andy Pliego
- The Sirens by Emilia Hart
- The Woman in the Wallpaper by Lora Jones
- Wooing the Witch Queen by Stephanie Burgis
So, 10 books if you include the two SPFBO finalists that I intend to read as well, which might be a tall order given this is a shorter month, but, as mentioned above, I’ve already started one of these and on top of that March is a lighter month so hopefully I’ll catch up then.
I will also definitely be reading two more SPFBO finalists. You can find them all here.

I haven’t started this challenge yet as I do need to squeeze in some of the SPFBO finalists.

I shall post separately about this particular challenge which I’m really looking foward to.
Total books read so far this year: 7
How did you get on during January?
