Ooooh your January Wrap Up graphic is super pretty! I love it!!! I’ve had Pushing the Limits on my TBR for a while, so I’m happy you enjoyed it! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Tell the Wind and Fire! Ooooooh BULLET JOURNALING! ❤ (You know anything with organization is enough to make me gush haha). It looks like you're doing a great job on all of the challenges! Also, again, let me say that I adored your Why I lowered my GR goal post ❤ I can't wait to see what's coming up on your blog in February!

Thank you!! I’m really happy with how this one turned out. I was pleasantly surprised by Tell the Wind and Fire! I hadn’t even heard of it but I received it in a holiday gift exchange and ended up loving it. Bullet Journaling is so much fun!! I really need to start using iCal too though because the journal doesn’t quite do everything I need.

I read Out of Bounds recently (still need to review too) and I really want to read Him. I’m curious to see what you thought. Looks like you are doing really well on your challenges. I read 15 books in January which is a HUGE deal for me.

I really enjoyed Him! I wasn’t sure what to expect because books with cheesy covers like that can be hit or miss. I’m planning to check out more by both of the authors because I really liked the writing. I’ll probably be doing a review eventually but I’m not sure.
15 books is great!! Good for you 🙂
