Last month’s deets on I Heart Romance & YA
January was very busy for me. I mean, with work commencing in a trip to Northern California, getting stuck at the airport on our way back, then driving in the middle of the night back to Los Angeles, which took about 6 hours plus about an hour to get home….yeah, it was quite an experience. I did manage to snag a few shots of the Redwoods.
We also heard some sad, sad news in January, right? On the upside, I got Snape in my January Owl Crate box. Very appropriate, if you ask me. #RIPAlanRickman

READING CHALLENGE STATS
Let’s move on to the challenge stats! I think I did a semi-good job last month. I mean, what with all the craziness at work and LIFE.
I’ve read 7 books so far, 1 physical copy, and reviewed 1 book that I finished reading in 2016: Their Fractured Light by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner. I have also re-read 2 books: Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas and Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost. From the Shelf Love Challenge, I’ve read two books: Tycoon by Joanna Shupe and Their Fractured Light (mentioned above).

LAST MONTH’S READS
FAVORITE READ OF THE MONTH
This book DEVASTATED me! I mean, I just can’t get over what happened in this book! The revelations, the twists, and the FEELS! And yes, the kick-FREAKING-ass Celaena! Yes, I need to review this book ASAP.
RANDOM THOUGHTS
So excited for #OTSPSecretSister this month and Pocket Letters! I’m also trying to be good this month and try to read and review more. So far, I am failing 🙁
BTW, guess who was featured over at Brittany’s Book and a Beverage Feature?!

I FINALLY read The Other Half of the Grave and I am kicking myself for waiting this long to read Bones’ POV! Halfway to the Grave was all in Cat’s POV and I was just so curious on what Bones’ was thinking – because let’s face it, Cat was very immature in Halfway and I couldn’t imagine a master vampire like Bones would put up with her.
The Other Half of the Grave did not disappoint. I love reading the book from Bones’ POV because now we know his thoughts and how he was reacting to Cat’s antics – as frustrating as Cat is! There are also new scenes here because this is Bones’ POV. It gave me another insight into what Bones was thinking.
If you are a fan of the Night Huntress series, then I highly recommend that you read Bones’ POV! If you can read this book alternatively with the OG books in the series, it would even be more immersing.

Love your graphs and stats above! How did you get that Goodreads graphic? I’d love to do one of those myself. Is your challenge graph just one you made in Excel? This post is awesome!

Thanks Lisa! I just used a screenshot of my Goodreads info. You can find the info in your Goodreads profile page under stats.
The graph I made online. But you can use Excel for that 🙂
Good job on your challenges so far. Keep up the good work.
