January is more about getting to know what kind of a reader and blogger and in general, human I want to be in 2021. So, I’m mostly planning on getting my blog schedule sorted and reading as much as I can, since last month I tried to watch a movie every day. I have a few buddy reads planned for this month but apart from that I’m really hoping to just relax, listen to a bunch of audiobooks and play animal crossing.
I haven’t added the comics, maga of graphic novels on my tbr to this post because I’ll have a seperate blog post for those. But, I thought I’d mention here that a mini round of Graphicsathon is happening again from the 16th of January to the 19th in your time zone!
🌻 – Buddy read ⇀ 🎧 – Audiobook ⇀ 📚 – Library book ⇀ 💻 – Ebook/Kindle
🔁 – Re-read ⇀ 🌈 – LGBTQIA+ rep ⇀ ❤ – 2021 release

- A Darker Shade of Magic, A Gathering of Shadows, A Conjuring of Light ↣ 🌈🎧 ↣ I tried to read book one in this series a few years ago and got roughly halfway (i think) but ended up putting it down for whatever reason, and I just never picked it up again. But, it’s a new year and I’m a (not so) new gal so I’m going to finally read this series if it kills me.
- The Honey Don’t List ↣ 📚 ↣ I’m reading this for a fun new series I’m doing with a friend and I honestly couldn’t be more excited about it.
- Hammer and Tongs ↣ 🎧 ↣ I know absolutely nothing about this except that it’s short so I’ve got my fingers crossed.
- Across The Green Grass Fields ↣ ❤🎧🌈 ↣ The annual January Wayward Children novel.

- Magic Lessons, Practical Magic, The Rules of Magic ↣ 🎧🔁🌈 ↣ I was recently gifted Magic Lessons for Chrsitmas so I figure, now is as good a time as any to read some more Alice Hoffman and re-read two of my favourite books I’ve ever read.
- The Assassin’s Blade ↣ 🌻🎧 ↣ Why yes, I am starting the Throne of Glass series and yes, I am very scared. Thank you for asking.
- Annihilation ↣ 🌈🎧 ↣ I’m always looking for new weird short books to read and this seems to fit the bill!
Have you read any of these books?

I hope you get to all these great books this month! I really loved The Honey Don’t List, I would just say don’t expect it to be too light and fluffy. But it’s a great book, I hope you enjoy it and all the other books on your tbr!

I love Annihilation and Vandermeer in general. It’s a little slower than a lot of books in similar genres. Just FYI. I hope you find some favourites this month! Happy reading 💕

Thank you, so far I’ve only read one because I got really stuck into regency romances??? But, I am really excited to get stuck into my tbr soon!!
That’s really helpful thank you, I was expecting a fluffy read so I’m glad I know that going forward!

Oooh, I just got a whole bunch of graphic novels out from the library that I planned on reading this month! Maybe I’ll save a few for the Graphicsathon!
I’m super curious to see what you think of the A Darker Shade of Magic series! I read it a while back, but I remember really enjoying them, so hopefully you’ll enjoy them as well! But I’m even more curious about what you’ll think of the Throne of Glass series! I feel like it’s super polarizing at this point!
I hope that this is a read reading month for you, and is a great start to 2021 in general!

So far I’m really intrigued by the ADSOM series. I found book 1 interesting but didn’t *love* the characters so I’m hoping they’ll be hit by the character development stick and I’ll learn to love them!
Oh boy, I just finished reading the prequel to the TOG series and… y i k e s
I am definitely interested to see what I think of book one because the prequel was really bad, but I also don’t feel any attachment to the characters yet so I think that was part of the problem. Have you read the series?
January is going SO WELL so far, reading-wise and I can’t wait for February!

I’ve read the TOG series, and personally really enjoyed it. But I do think that the prequels have more impact after reading the first book or two. Chances are though that you won’t enjoy the series, but I guess we’ll find out!

Ahh okay, thank you! I doubt I’ll ever think about the prequels again but yeah, I had no idea what was going on… 😂
Yeah, I don’t think this is going to be the series for me but I enjoyed ACOUTAR so much so I think I’m slightly in denial! I’m definitely going to give the series a go and decide a few books in if I want to continue it!

Sounds like a good way to start 2021, Ellyn. I’ve been using the new year to take stock too and decide what I want to cut & grow during 2021.
I hope you enjoy your books and I look forward to reading your thoughts about them.

Yes, 2020 put a lot in perspective for me so 2021 is all about being realistic and cutting out the things I don’t need in my life!
Thank you! My wrap up is definitely going to be a long one, I’m currently reading my 41st book! 😂
