To close out January and welcome February, I had a great couple of reading weeks (with the exception of one book). Before I get into those details though, I want to go over my total January reading statistics. Normally I would do this in my On My Radar post for the next month but, oops, I forgot.
In January, I read 12 books for a total of 4774 pages. My average rating was 3.42 stars. Out of those 12 books, my favorite was most definitely Wolf by Wolf by Ryan Graudin and my least favorite was Mini Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella. I read all 8 of the books that were on my January TBR and completed 5 Popsugar challenge prompts.
In these two-ish weeks, I read 5 books. I gave a couple of them lower ratings and the other three higher ratings so, overall, I would say that I am happy with my reading over the last little bit of January.
I know myself. I know myself so well that I know if I try to post a full review here for every book I read, it won't happen. It will start out fine - nice formatted posts, lots of nice words, some cute little star ratings. Then, it will end, just as quickly as it began. "It's too much work to post a review on both my blog and Goodreads," I will say. I will be lying. It's not too much work. I just don't want to do it. Instead, I will do this: flash reviews. Every two weeks (or so), I will do a roundup of the reviews that I have written during that period of time. I will link to my full review and just do a short summary here. Sound good? Great.
Welcome to Books and Balks. Here you will find discussions about books, baseball, and anything else that I am inspired to write about. I hope that readers will find something to relate to within my posts. Thanks for stopping by! EMAIL | allisondawnplace@gmail.com
