It's about 15 minutes into February here, so it's time to see what Rue read for the month of January. At the beginning of the month, I said that to be able to complete my reading goal for 2015, I needed to complete 6 to 7 books a month to complete this goal. Now, I knew when setting this goal that from mid Jan to first of May, I wouldn't be able to read a lot due to studying, but at my new job, I can now listen to books on audio, so I will hopefully get to stay on track. I know that will probably have some months that I will not read as much, so I am not stopping at 7 books a months. If I can do what I did in 2014 and up my goal, that would be amazing.
So how did January go for me? I was able to complete... 14 novels. Now the majority of them were completed by listening to them on audio book. Depending on the day and the length of the novel, I can finish a book a day at work, but most of the time it takes two to three days to finish them. This month I discovered two series this month (Crossfire Novels by Sylvia Day and The Hollows Series by Kim Harrison) with one of the series I have almost completed all the written novels, and the other one has 13 novels in it (I think), and I have read four of them this month and working on the other one.
Here is what I completed in January...
Eve and Adam by Michael Grant and Katherine Applegate. I rated this book 5 out of 5 stars.
The One by Kiera Cass. I rated this book 5 out of 5 stars.*
Bared to You by Sylvia Day. I rated this book 5 out of 5 stars*
The White Princess by Philippa Gregory. I rated this book 5 out of 5 stars.
Reflected in You by Sylvia Day. I rated this book 5 out of 5 stars.
Entwined with you by Sylvia Day. I rated this book 5 out of 5 stars*
The Maze Runner by James Dashner. I rated this book 3 out of 5 stars
The Scorch Trials by James Dashner. I rated this book 4 out of 5 stars
Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison. I rated this book 5 out of 5 stars
The Death Cure by James Dashner. I rated this book 5 out of 5 stars.
The Good, the Bad, and The Undead by Kim Harrison. I rated this book 5 out of 5 stars.
Fistful of Charms by Kim Harrison. I rated this book 5 out of 5 stars.
For a Few Demons More by Kim Harrison. I rated this book 5 out of 5 stars.
As always the books that have are in BOLD, I listened to on audio. The books that have stars(*) and are not bold, are books that I own and physically read. Books without stars or bold, are books that I have borrowed from my local library
Both the Crossfire Novels by Sylvia Day and The Hollows Series by Kim Harrison are adult fiction, and I would not suggest them for younger audience. I am going on 26 years old, but especially with the Crossfire Novels, I would not recommend it for younger than 18 years old.
The Hollows Series by Kim Harrison, I have book 1, 2, 4,and 5. I had to skip three because my local libraries did not have it. This is a series that I feel that I can do that with since I feel that I am caught up on what happened within the first few character. I just do not know in detail what happened. I do plan on going back to read the book that I skipped. I have already had to do this with book 6 as well, but I am going to complete it as well when I can get my hands on it.
With the Maze Runner Series, I marathon the series, listening to them back to back, and all I am going to say about the series, is I thought it got better as the series went on. I wasn't the biggest fan of the first novel.
For February....
Side note, February is my favorite month of the year.... My birthday is in February, and I will be turning 26 this year. I feel that I am officially an adult.
I could slack on reading in February since I am 7 books ahead on my reading goal, but I am not. I want to complete 6 to 7 books this month. I am currently listening to book 7 of The Hollows Series, and reading Captivated by You by Sylvia Day, which is book 4 of the Crossfire Novels. I am hoping that I can possibly finish The Hollows Series this month, but I am not sure. Also college is back in full swing, so I don't know how many books I will be able to complete. This semester I am only taking two classes, and there is a lot required for them, but I am only into the first full week, so I will not get a feel for reading until mid February.
I am planning on updating you all soon on my goals for 2015, which I think I am going to start doing monthly as well, but I am not sure when I will post it. I may wait until the middle of the month to post it.
Peaceful and Happy Thoughts,
--Rue.
