📚January Wrap Up Time📚 • January was a kind of unusual reading month for me. Not only did I read several styles of book that I don’t usually read (a poetry collection, a graphic novel and a screenplay), but I have been in a really strange mood. I am always quiet a mood reader but this month I have just been picking up really random books on impulse. Like books that have been sitting on my shelf for literally years and that I haven’t really had any desire to read recently. This is very unusual for me, but at least it has meant that I have got through a few backlist titles! And managed 9 books all together! • The Mortal Instruments Graphic Novel Part 1 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Lost Sisters ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Milk And Honey ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Girl Who Chased The Moon ⭐⭐ The Wicked King ⭐⭐⭐⭐ All The Crooked Saints ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everless ⭐⭐⭐ Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ • What did you read in January? 📖 • There is a new post up on my blog talking all about the books that I read in January and the ones that I am hoping to read in February (link in my bio) ~ ~ ~ #januarywrapup #readingwrapup #book #read #reading #bookworm #nerd #bookish #bookstagram #pretty #beautiful #stunning #happy #love #ya #youngadult #themortalinstruments #fantasticbeasts #thelostsisters #milkandhoney #thegirlwhochasedthemoon #thewickedking #allthecrookedsaints #everless #harrypotterandtheprisonerofazkaban
