In January, I read/listened to ten books. I assure you that isn’t as impressive as it sounds. Two books were audiobooks, and five were books under 150 pages. I’m almost embarrassed to admit that. Actually, I am embarrassed to admit that. I rarely read short stories, and certainly not five in a month.
I started the year with The Hollow by Agatha Christie. I have read this before, however, this was the first book for the Read Christie challenge for 2025. Actually, the official book was Five Little Pigs. The Hollow was the alternative book option given. And as I didn’t have Five Little Pigs I went with what I had. This book is number 26 in the Hercule Poirot series.
The second physical book I read in January was Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus. This book was published in 2022. And I have no idea why I waited so long to pick this up. Sometimes I allow my head to get stuck in the crime and fantasy rabbit hole and I don’t look outside either box. I won’t go into detail with this book as unlike me you most likely read it when it first came out.
These were my two stand-out books for the month. I blame myself for that as I found myself becoming a tad lazy by the end of the month.
