I don’t know about you all… but I had a GREAT January! (click on the pics to go to my lists of what I read)
I hit 12 states in January and 4 out of the US.
7 of the books I read in January were not read… they were LISTENED to! Go audio!
1 book for the e challenge…
2 books on the Dystopia Challenge
1 book read off the recommended blogger reads list
I read/listened to 16 books/audio in January. (3 of these I have yet to review)
Page count for January: 3060
Total audio minutes: 2 days and 19 minutes (holy cats that sounds like a lot!)
4 of the authors were male and 12 were female.
13 of the 16 were new to me authors.
That’s my recap. How did your January go?

You had a decent month at 16. Happy February reading!
Thanks Freda – it felt like a good month!
Good month! I read/reviewed 16 books, too…I’ll be posting my recap tomorrow, after I post the final review that’s for a blog tour.
Nice job Laurel!
Nice job! I think I got through 12 books. It would have been more but I got bogged down with American Psycho.
12 is awesome Nate!
oh wow! i feel behind with 9 books! how do you find the time to read so much?!? that’s awesome!
It was a good month Stacy – I had some quiet weekends, hubby works a lot… and I listen to audio while cleaning and cooking…. that picks up quite a few 😀
Great job! Especially on the number of states you read.
Thanks Tanya- its always fun at the beginning of the year because all the states are free game! 😀
Fantastic month. I can’t believe that I did not finish an audiobook in January!
No way!!!! That is hard for me to believe! 😀
Hello Sheila,
It’s nice to recently connect with your blog. I enjoyed your latest on an obviously busy reading January. I admire your strategy for maximizing your time with books. I need a bit more of that kind of discipline myself.
I’m finishing Melissa Harris-Perry’s book ‘Sister Citizen.’ It’s a well researched, respectful, yet emotionally charged look at Black women in American society. The final chapter on Michelle Obama is both insightful and self-reflective. A sound non-fiction work to exercise the mind. Give it a read.
I’m a retired teacher from Vermont, now living and writing in AZ. If you enjoy an occasional middle grade/YA read, perhaps you might be interested in my series. ‘The Borderlands Trilogy’ includes ‘Gift of the Desert Dog,’ Open Books Press (2010); ‘Secrets of the Medicine Pouch,’ coming in mid-February, also from Open Books Press, and ‘Coyote-meeter’s Abyss’, coming in 2013.
You can read the opening chapter of ‘Gift’ at my website: http://www.robertlhunton.com/
i’m looking forward to a lot of great posts from you, and I’m sure I will have a comment to send along.
My best in reading and writing,
Robert Hunton
I read 15 books with 13 states and 2 other country books.
Nice job Jenny!
You had a really great month!
I managed to finish six books in January, but don’t have all my reviews up yet. Two of them were set in Oz so I had to make up a location on the map for them, lol.
Oz huh…. Google it and see if there was ever a location thought for that one…LOL :D…. wait – weren’t they is Kansas at some point???? 😀
In the original series, they were in Kansas for a bit. In this one, the Gregory Maguire series, they only talk about Kansas a little. I am totally going to google it though and see if I can come up with something! I put them in the Pacific somewhere, lol
I love trying to figure out where the books were from – last year I was even able to place the Hunger Games after finding maps on line 😉 Good luck!
16 books in January WOW, love the audio stats. hmm wonder what I read in January, nowhere near that lol but I’ll check 🙂
Sheree, I found a chart on line that tracked everything soI just plugged my info in there… otherwise I would have no idea …. LOL
Great month! I’m also a huge fan of audio books! I have a nice long commute that wouldn’t be the same without someone reading to me!
I dont know what I would do with out them! 😀
