January 2022 Month in Review

It's time for a monthly review!

I had a pretty good month of reading in January. Yeah, it pretty much exclusively YA, but I did get a couple other genres in there too! I'll drop more of the stats below, but I read 11 books. One was an Adult book, and another was a YA/Adult fable. All of the remaining 9 were (unsurprisingly) YA fantasies — my favorite genre!

Before I start listing off those books I read, here is the key for the abbreviations I used.

Key

・ HC = hardcover; PB = paperbook; EB = ebook; RO = read online; AUD = audiobook

・ R2R = received to review; RR = re–read; BR = buddy read; BOTM = book of the month

・ OWN = owned
