What was your favorite this month?
I read a few things. I don’t know why I didn’t read more. no rime? just not in the mood? I don’t know. Maybe I just need to accept that I don’t read as much as I used to anymore and move on. At least I’m still reading, right? My favorite this month was an old favorite, a comfort read:

If it’s possible, I read even less this month than last. I did like most of what I read, so maybe that’s part of things: I’m being more selective with what I read. I also moved to the basement for my job, which is quiet and away from customers, so I picked up listening to audiobooks more. (Which is why there are three this month instead of my usual one).
No favorites this month. Here’s what I managed to finish:
YA:
Forging Silver Into Stars
Bravely
The Door of No Return
Adult Fiction:
The Charm Offensive (audiobook)
Fugitive Telemetry
Nonfiction:
Go Back to Where You Came From (audiobook)
Call Me Chef, Dammit! (audiobook)
Graphic Novels:
I hit a reading stop this month. I am surrounded by piles of books, and all I want to read are comfort reads. (I’m not really in reading what I’m “supposed to be” reading right now.) Which means, too, that I’m not blogging a lot either.
Here’s what I blogged about this month:
Graphic Novels:
The Aquanaut
Heartstopper Volume 4
YA:
Non-Fiction:
Wintering (audiobook)
I also read:
The Penderwicks
The Penderwicks on Gardam Street
Saffy’s Angel
Indigo’s Star
Permanent Rose
Caddy Ever After

I wanted to read the rest of the Penderwicks books, but I got derailed again. Maybe next month will be better.
It’s been a week. It’s been a month. But then, some months are like that.

What was your favorite this month?
I have to be honest: sometimes I set my blog on automatic, having scheduled things out for a while, and then I forget I have it. I am glad I have it; it’s a record of nearly 20 years of my reading, but I do forget about it sometimes. Like this week: I was supposed to do this yesterday, so it could go up first thing this morning… and, I forgot. Oh well. It happens sometimes.

What were your favorites this month?
I was laying in bed, reading, when I thought to myself: hey, tomorrow’s the last day of the month, I should write a blog post. And then I realized, no, TODAY is, and my post that usually goes up in the morning just didn’t.
Call it January. I read a lot, but most of it was or the Cybils, so y’all don’t get to hear about it until after February 14th.
My favorite (of the ones I can talk about):
It really is quite amazing. Schwab is a fabulous writer.

What was your favorite this month?
To be honest, looking at the list of books here, I’m not sure I had one that resally stood out for me. I’m going to go with choosing this one as my favorite, not because I loved it wholeheartedly, but because I think it resonated with me the most this month.
