January was a big reading month for me. Out of my list of 25, I read 19, I put two aside for some other time, and ejected one and will be taking it to trade out in my next trip to 2nd and Charles. 19 books is a lot for anyone.
This month I read through all of my TBR recommendations and finally let myself read some graphic novels that have been waiting for quite some time. I've been sitting on the Fable series for about 10 years which seems silly in hindsight. There was always something more pressing, or new, that got in the way. I began to worry that actually reading the series would be disappointing after all that waiting. I'm only four volumes in, but so far it is in no way disappointing.
I'll be doing some individual posts for my TBR books in the near future. However, along with the new, I've finally allowed myself to reread some of my favorite books from my adolescence. There is always a danger doing that, that they won't hold up to the beloved memory. In this case, I'm glad to say that Mercedes Lackey's "Magic's Price" series was every bit as wonderful as I remembered. I might even write a series post for it later.
Other particularly notable reads of the month are Naomi Novak's Spinning Silver and the Miles Morales: The Ultimate Spiderman volumes 1 and 2. It was a good month all told with some excellent reads
