January left me feeling like I had been through a drought. Thank goodness for Louise Penny on audio book or the entire month would have been a loss. Still, I needed some great historical fiction and have a great TBR in mind for February.

 

Part of my problem in January may have been my deviations from my TBR. A heavy month for audio and NetGalley reads, it's not surprising that it was somewhat disappointing. But, moving on....here is the breakdown:

 

Audio Books

A Fatal Grace

The Cruelest Month

The Chimes

Mrs Zant and the Ghost

 

NetGalley

Jesus, Pope Francis, and a Protestant Walk into a Bar

The Herald of Hell

Woodlawn

 

Book Club

The Stand

 

That leaves only Black Christmas 1349 as a book I selected on my own - sort of. I read it while it was free for a limited time on the English Historical Fiction Authors website. Didn't I just make a resolution to choose my reading more carefully?
