Archetypes & Anecdotes

I read 9 books in January! What a great way to start the new year!

Unfortunately, I didn’t have any 5 star books this month. I don’t know if I’m just in a slump from the weather, or if I just genuinely wasn’t feeling exceptional about these. Nevertheless, there are definitely some good titles within my list! If you are interested in reading any of the books I listened to as audiobooks this month, I highly recommend these titles in that format.

I’ve also added a “TBR” section to the end of these monthly wrap-ups; this will share with you what books I am prioritizing in the new month. Wish me luck on achieving these goals!

**Book titles with asterisks are ones I’ve already reviewed on Archetypes & Anecdotes, as of the publication of this blog post.
