January Reading Wrap-up (Part 2) + February TBR

[@BookBuds]

I agree that middle grade books just make me happy! They are so light and wonderful. I’m tearing through the Septimus Heap series now and I’m loving it. Wow you read a lot of pages there! Congrats! 🎉

[@MsReadsAlot]

I love the cover on spacepaw 😂I should read more middle grade as well. They always make me so happy! The godfather is great!

[@AnneEWilliamson]

I know! Middle Grade books are so good!

[@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD]

I have gotten into Middle grade occasionally to give my brain a break from heavier adult books.

Loved hearing your plans for the around the world readathon. I have no idea yet what I will read for Egypt as I don’t own any set there. Happy reading! 😊📚🌎

Your January reading this year is similar to mine last year! I read 19 or 20 books in January last year, this year I only managed four and a half!😅 the last one was a read aloud to my siblings that I had started in October!🤭 Hopefully January will be fuller but I am content with my progress since many of those were slower due to the wealth of information.

[@AnneEWilliamson]

Wow, that's amazing! 19/20 books! Congrats!

[@JoelleGrace]

@@AnneEWilliamson Thank you!❤️

[@BrandonsBookshelf]

I am all about getting into the nitty gritty of the Aztecs. that sounds so good.

[@AnneEWilliamson]

It is! The Aztecs are so fascinating to learn about!

[@BrandonsBookshelf]

@@AnneEWilliamson Might I recommend Conquistador by Buddy Levy!

[@AnneEWilliamson]

@@BrandonsBookshelf Thank you! I'll look it up!

Spacepaws sounds so fun! I love the cover! I didn't know the Godfather was book! Good luck with your February tbr!

[@AnneEWilliamson]

Spacepaws is so ridiculous and fun to read! And actually, The Godfather is a whole series of books, lol. Usually not my type of book, but maybe I'll love it! Thank you!

[@teacupthestoryteller]

Glad to hear you enjoyed Count of Monte Cristo! 🥳 I listened to Godfather on audio several years ago and did enjoy it... weirdly, I never read or watch thrillers, murder stories etc but Godfather with Al Pacino....EVERYTIME I am ill I watch it as comfort movie 😂😂 don´t ask me why 😂

[@AnneEWilliamson]

Ha, I'm sad to say that I've never watched the Godfather movie (just parts), but now that I'm reading the book, I need to sit down and watch the movie all the way through.

[@pamelatarajcak5634]

Perhaps make the Thomas Merton one span through March. It sounds great for Lent.

[@AnneEWilliamson]

Ha, that's true! It might take me that long to read, lol!

[@attention5638]

Oh no! Ayn Rand! Hahah That is a name I learned early on not to bring up in philosophical circles. However, I do enjoy reading things I know I am going to disagree with, and despite my distance from objectivism, there are some memorable quotes in Atlas Shrugged, if I am forced to say something positive 😂

[@AnneEWilliamson]

Yeah...I'm currently reading The Fountainhead (almost 1/4 of the way done) and I have mixed feelings about it. I love the story actually, but some of the philosophy is just weird, lol.

[@attention5638]

@@AnneEWilliamson Yes! I was actually going to say, I didn't mind the story in either Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged, despite the fact that I found the characters somewhat flat. But her philosophy is not one I subscribe to, to say the least haha

[@EntertheBook]

Lol at stop giving present- really?? 😂 we do have ambitious TBRs for a short month but hey why not?!?

[@AnneEWilliamson]

Lol, true. Nothing wrong with an ambitious TBR!
