Wrapping January 2018

Reading

I had a pretty productive month, reading-wise. I now have a backlog of review materials.

• Books Finished: 6
  • Highlights: Countdown City by Ben H. Winters, reread of The Turk by Tom Standage
• Books DNFed: 2
• Short Stories Read: 19
  • Highlights: “The Bell Tower” by Herman Melville, reread of “The Sandman” by ETA Hoffmann
• Challenge Updates:
  • FrankenSlam! – Read The Sorrows of Young Werther.
  • 2018 Nonfiction Reading Challenge: Here Is Real Magic by Nate Staniforth, at 33% nonfiction.
  • 2018 TBR Challenge – Read Countdown City by Ben H. Winters.
  • Wild West Reading Challenge – Didn’t have a book planned for this challenge for January. I did end up reading The Huge Hunter; Or, The Steam Man of the Prairies by Edward Sylvester Ellis and DNFed a title I had on my initial list.
  • Shelf Maintenance – I purchased no books in the month of January.
