January Wrap-Up

The month in books:
January was quite a good reading month for me. I've been listening to audiobooks more and more recently. This month I listened to two new ones.

• Winterspell by Claire Legnard
• Mortal Heart by Robin LaFevers
• Still Star-Crossed by Melinda Taub
• Death Sworn by Leah Cypress
• Zodiac by Romina Russel
• The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black
• Shadow Scale by Rachel Hartman (review to come)
• The Spiderwick Chronicles by Holly Black
• The Brokenhearted by Amelia Kahaney
• Fairest by Marissa Meyer
• Ticker by Lisa Mantchev

Audiobooks:

• Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater (I read the book when it came out, but I like the really enjoy the audiobooks for this series, too).
• Sinner by Maggie Stiefvater

January book haul featuring the office floor and terrible lighting because it is 7 pm in Canada and thus there is no natural lighting whatsoever.

I don't usually have enough books to do a haul on, but here's my January mess. I didn't actually get purchase most of them in January, but they came in January, so that counts. Most of them are from the Book Outlet (they had a boxing day sale, and most of these were books that I've had my eye on for a while).

Book Outlet:

• Cinder by Marissa Meyer (the hardcover was about $3.00, and I've wanted to get a hardcover of this for a while now)
• Death Sworn by Leah Cypress
• Toads and Diamonds by Heather Tomlinson
• Nation by Terry Pratchett  (the hardcover, this time for a non-ridiculous reason: I find the trade paperback very uncomfortable to read)
• The Brokenhearted by Amelia Kahney 
• Thumbs, Toes and Tears by Chip Walter
• Blonde Ops by Charlotte Bennardo and Natalie Zaman
• Still Star-Crossed by Melinda Taub
• Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo (I'm getting them in paperback, since I really enjoyed them when I borrowed them from the library)
• Survival of the Beautiful: Art, Science and Evolution by David Rothenberg

Chapters:

• Fairest by Marissa Meyer (I got it 40% off... it was on sale for some reason, not that I'm complaining)
• Spiderwick: The Completely Fantastical Edition by Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi: this is a beautiful bind-up, it has sketches in the back
• The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black

So, probably don't expect a book haul with next month's wrap up (we'll see), because I rarely anywhere near this many books in a month.
