January was a great reading month. I read 6 (!) books, including one that had 752 pages. I have no idea how I managed that. Best of all, except for one book that was just okay, all the other books I thoroughly enjoyed and gave 4-5 stars.

If January is any prediction for the rest of the year, I'm one happy girl :)

I need to make a note for October to keep track

- Finish The Memory of Love (preferably before toppler)

Toppler week
- Mr Penumbra (toppler + movie)
- Maybe Cellist Sarajevo (toppler + group + movie)

After toppler
- Ship of destiny (buddy)
- If time: book for monthly challenge

January 2020 plans:

The Ten Thousand Doors of January (Jan 4)
Fool's Errand

[Peggy, Moderator]

Read in 2019 just because:
Death of a Dapper Snowman (too short for challenges but next books in series are fine)
The Map of Salt and Stars (does not seem to fit the trivia challenge and it's about time I read it!)
