January has passed in a blur of cold wintry days, lazy weekends spent lounging and reading and catching up on all our TV shows and long weeks of work. Let's not forget to mention the underlying anxiety that's been dogging me all month, related to what's going on in the world to date. But, all in all, January was a solid start to a new year.
WHAT I DID
My favorite thing about January is that it started off on a lovely sunny day where we (Macky, myself, Mel & Kahl) went off to Central Park for a walk, and ended with our first Shake Shack of the new year. I also got to attend the Wayfarer event at Books of Wonder, and found it truly delightful to see Alex again. Dress fittings, dinners out, brunch dates, music sessions, reading binges - it was really very chill.
WHAT I READ
As of January 30, I managed to read a total of 18 books, as well as 12 comics/manga/graphic novels. Apart from that, I'm be finishing up an audiobook today, as well as hopefully finishing the portion of Les Miserables that I'm meant to read this month. But that's off topic; let's get to my favorites of the month!
Passenger / Wayfarer / Monstress, Vol. 1: Awakening / All the Light We Cannot See / I Capture the Castle
