Currently Reading - January 2018

January has come and gone. For many it felt like it flew by, but for others it was taking too long. Although I haven't had the most glorious start to my year, I was able to read a few books this month. I am changing up the way I am doing these wrap ups again this year, so let's get start!

DNF:
-Wintersong by S. Jae-Jones

Month in Review:
Overall, I had a really decent reading month. Wintersong was a bit of a disappointment for me. I was really looking forward to this book knowing it was a loose retelling of The Labyrinth, which is one of my favorite movies. I would have loved to have fallen in love with this story; however, I just couldn't get into it. It may be one that I try again later on, but for now I have set it aside. As far as my reading goals went for this month... major fail. Four out of the five books I read were loans from my best friend (The Girl From Alabama for anyone who is new here). Although I really enjoyed the romance novels I read, I have to say my favorite from the month is Arcana Rising from Kresley Cole. For those who have been around for a while you will remember seeing these books pop up just about every year. This is a series that I am completely addicted to and just cannot put them down. I became so emotional invested in this book that I took the time to completely explain the series, all the events leading up to it, and the love triangle to someone that didn't really have any idea I was even a reader. I am anticipating the next book releasing later on in the month, just before Valentine's Day.

How did you start off your year with books? How many did you read?
