I am considering January a trial month for 2024 and February is where everything actually begins. We are really starting the first wrap up of the new year, can you believe it?! January was blissfully slow in terms of reading and I took my time with things as we had several life shifts at work and at home. All things considered though, I’m calling this January wrap up a definite win, so grab your popcorn and lets get to recapping!

*NOTE:* I realized earlier last week that my catalog was off by several books (not the exact amount) and several books I had unhauled in the past didn’t get taken off like I thought. So I am in the process of re-cataloguing my shelves. Because of this, the below stats may change drastically by the next check in when it will/should be accurate! I’ll keep you posted!
- Current Physically Owned Read/TBR: 321/835 read
- Percent Read: 38.44% (Goal for 2024: 60%)
- Read This Year (Not counting re-reads): 1

taking january as a trial for the rest of 2024 is actually such a nice idea. i’m so so behind on all the over-ambitious 2024 goals i set myself, which is sad because i was and still am genuinely so excited for them!! i always meant to retry again in february, but now i’m also so tempted to copy you and tell everybody that january was a trial and february is where all the fun (and taking everything seriously and winning at life) begins.
HAVE THE BEST EVER FEBRUARY SAM!!!
