It’s January 31st, can you believe it!
One month of 2019 has already come & gone, I honestly feel a little shell shocked!

This past Christmas, I was gifted books (more books, can you believe it) & gift cards to buy more books. So as always, huge thank you Chapters Indigo for fuelling my book problem! I finally organized my bookshelf slightly & ended up moving a stack of the books I had piled on the floor of my room to some shelves in the basement, I really am running out of room here! But you know me, i’m not complaining, I’ll just have to start going to the library. Also, I don’t know if its just me but I feel like there has not been much of a change with the books on my list, but I did go a little nuts last year buying books, so instead of spending money on books, here I am attempting to catch up & get through this list! I will add here that I totally gave up on a book for the first time ever, after months of trying I had to give up on ‘The Pale Horseman’, I will come back to you at some point & finish reading you, mark my words.
I did read a little slow this month, my goal was 4 books per month but I just couldn’t get into one of the books, so it took me a little longer to get through! That’s okay though, i have some time to catch up still & with summer coming up, I’ll end up reading like crazy anyways!

So with January coming to an end, here is my January Reading Recap & current TBR list!

2019 Reading Challenge
–  2/50 

Currently reading: Hmm still deciding

Completed in January:

• Winter in Paradise by Elin Hilderbrand
• The Hypnotists Love Story by Liane Moriarty

My Thoughts:

• Winter in Paradise: I love Elin Hilderbrand books, they are one of my favourite summer reads! This one was set in the Caribbean which was a first for her books & I can not lie, I kind of liked the slight change. I read this at the beginning of the month, while we had a little cold burst here in Toronto & I honestly just kept imagining I was on the beach & enjoying the warm weather with the characters. i would highly recommend this book!
• The Hypnotists Love Story: I usually really like reading Liane Moriarty’s novels, the first one I read was Big Little Lies (before the show came out obviously) & loved it, & ended up loving some of her other novels. This one I however found it to be a little slow & I just wasn’t as into the story line as I was with her other novels. I was a little disappointed but at least I gave it a shot!
