January Wrap-Up: Reviews, Reading Challenges, etc.

It is seriously mind-boggling how fast moves as you get older. I mean, I’m 27 now…. HOW AND WHEN DID THIS EVEN HAPPEN?! At least I can be consoled by the fact that so many releases are coming out this year, that with time moving so quickly, I’ll get to all of the amazing books faster. That’s how it works, right?

  1. Silently mouthing to City of Brass & Forbidden Wish *I will read you* LOL! looks liek you had a good reading month quality wise & you read so many I’ve had on my radar. Of course Iron Gold takes the cake for the month cause yassss! I reallllly wanted to participate in the Popsugar challenge this year but my goal really is to take care of my arc backlog so that the 2nd half of the year is free for the taking. I’m enjoying seeing those participating getting through each of the prompts.I hope you have an even better February Larkin! ❤ ❤ ❤

    1. Girl, you will love them! City of Brass is now officially in my top all-time favorites. It’s just soooo freaking good! I will literally push this book on every person I meet, haha… IRON GOLD!!!!! So, so, so freaking good. I’m like kind of obsessed with Lysander. He kept surprising me by his decisions! His chapters were definitely my fave… Thank you! You could totally still participate in POPSUGAR and just use your backlisted ARCs for the prompts. I basically just used my personal TBR to fill it. We’ll see how it works, haha!
