2021 has arrived, and with it a new reading year. We started off a bit rough with a book I didn't enjoy too much, but we had some really good reads this month.
Here are all the statistics for the month!
I read a total of 6 physical books, 1 novella, 1 anthology, 1 audiobook, 2 graphic novels, 4 webcomics and 4 short stories for a total of 19 books and roughly 5,496 pages.
I ended up DNFing 3 things this month. One was a webcomic called House of Stars, and it was pretty much just retellings of fairy tales. I tried listening to Midnight in Chernobyl by Adam Higginbotham but I couldn't focus because of all the names and scientific jargon. I also tried to read Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, but couldn't get past how unlikeable the characters were.
Here is a list of all the books I read this month. If you want to check out my reviews of them, click on the pink links!
