January 2022
January was a quiet month. I was ready for a quiet month so it was welcome. My daughter went back to college leaving our nest empty once again. When we weren’t working or walking the dogs, we were probably just hanging out at the house. I read a lot of books and bought quite a few as well.
I have started the month out pretty focused on reaching some goals. I read a lot of NetGalley books and am looking forward to seeing the number of books left to read steadily decline. I am also trying to stay on top of reviews and trying to do better with blog hopping. I am still working on my Instagram page and am ending the month with 2,432 followers.

How was your month? Do you have any reading or blogging goals for February?
Good luck with your goals! I also haven’t been great at blog hopping recently. It’s one of those things that always gets put off until I start feeling bad about it.
It looks like a great month with a nice mix of ARCs and other reads.
Awesome job with the reading (and dog walking, HA!). You IG is growing in leaps and bounds. That’s awesome!
Glad you could enjoy a quiet month to recharge. Well done on sticking to your goals. I am trying to balance my review reads with books from my TBR for my goals.
Hopefully February will continue along nicely for you, Carole!
You’re already 16 books in, good job 🙂 Hopefully February will bring you many more good books!
A month with lots of reading is a good month! I didn’t get much reading done but with all the dog walking I got lots of audio listening it! Happy February!
The Good Men is on my wish list. January was pretty slow for me – sick and starting a new job. I’m hoping February will be a good one. I have a few plans coming up, so that’s always exciting.
