~ January Wrap-Up ~

In the month of January, I read a total of six books! 

This is amazingly wonderful for me for two reasons: One - my goal was three books, and two - I read a total of six books in the entire year of 2015 

So as you might be able to tell, I am ecstatic about this.

First, I read Winter by Marissa Meyer - This was the fourth and final book in the Lunar Chronicles. I had been anticipating this book all year! It was suppose to come out a lot sooner in 2015; however, it was pushed back to December. I did love this book. I enjoyed reading all eight hundred plus pages of it. I even liked the ending, but for whatever reason, I felt quite underwhelmed when I finished. I am not sure I can even explain why it was just like an, oh that's it moment. 

I ended up giving this book a four out of five stars

I then picked up Their Fractured Light by Anne Kaufman and Meagan Spooner. This was the third and final book in the Starbound trilogy. I have thoroughly enjoyed this trilogy. I found the story lines to be entertaining and mysterious, and I really liked the pace of these books as well. I know others found them to be quite slow, but I never had that issue. 

This book was a good ending to a good trilogy.

The third book I read this month was Better off Friends by Elizabeth Eulberg. After reading two pretty intense finale books, I wanted a cute, cheesy, predictable contemporary, and that is exactly what this book was. I loved it from start to finish. The characters were adorable and the story was cute.

The next two books I read were book one and book two from the so close to you trilogy. They are So Close to You and This Strange and Familiar Place by Rachel Carter. At the start of the month, I had zero intention of reading these books; however, the more I saw them, sitting on my shelf, the more I wanted to read them. So I did! I really enjoyed these books. The story line was different from the books I have read in the past. The pace was good, and I was left with a lot of questions which is a good thing. I am eager to find out how this series will come to a close.

The final book I read this month was Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. WOW! I really did save the best for last. If you like a book with lots of twists and turns and an unbelievable PLOT TWIST then you have to read this book. I loved the characters and the story line. I loved the world it was set in, and can not wait to pick up the second book when it is released Feb 9th.
