January wrap up

I had my best January ever, reading ten books, three more than last year, which I feel like is a minor miracle considering this month and next are my busiest work wise.  I also felt so fortunate to hit on a really terrific group of books both new and back list titles. Not one stinker in the group. Not represented in the pic were three ebooks.
