January 2018 Reading Wrap Up!

Is it me or did January feel like it lasted an entire year? It seems like SO MUCH HAPPENED in January. Either way, I got a ton of reading done this month and have already found some new favorite books! As a heads up, I'm not giving half- and quarter-star ratings anymore this year. I've been finding that I've been splitting hairs too much when it comes to my rating and at the end of the day, ratings really don't mean that much to me. I'm looking forward to stressing less about ratings and enjoying my books a bit more! :D

*VIDEO CORRECTION: I misspoke when I was talking about 5 to 1 and mentioned that is was written in prose. I MEANT to say that it is written in verse! Sorry for the confusion. :)
