It’s the end of January, and I’m pleased to say that I’m keeping up with my reading resolutions (which I’m going to try to keep linking back to here just so I remember them myself).

Overall, I’m pretty happy with my reading this month. I’m proud of myself for really stepping out of my comfort zone and reading an adult romance novel. It wasn’t anything like what I expected.
Those picture books look awesome, sometimes I love reading picture books, it’s a refreshing change of pace from reading the bigger books.

I loved Mirage’s world-building so much. I feel like we are seeing more fantasy novels based on non-white cultures, but we rarely see the same in scifi. It was so refreshing to see this kind of diverse space read. Can’t wait for the next one. Hope you have a wonderful February!
