I sign up yesterday, here's what I read in January:
I finished a series I started last year (in French, not translated into English, it's not novels but comic books, but I'm still counting it!) by reading 5 books (the series has 12 books in total):





I started a new series, Lockwood and Co., with the first novel : The Screaming Staircase by Jonathan Stroud
I continued a series I started last year (or maybe the year before that…), Old Man's War. I read the second novel : The Ghost Brigadesby John Scalzi
