What I've been up to in January

February 1, 2016

Is it crazy to think that a twelfth of the year is already done! Today, I'm looking back on January and sharing my goals and hopes for February!

What I read

I read six books during the last month, which I'm really proud of! My goal for this year is to read 100 books and if I keep it up, with the extra books I read during the summer (more free time!), I think I'll make it! Plus, I'm currently reading three other books so...

Carry On, by Rainbow Rowell
Eve and Adam, by Michael Grant and Katherine Applegate
Dream Country (Sandman vol. 3), by Neil Gaiman
Firsts, by Laurie Elizabeth Flynn
Me, Earl and the dying girl, by Jesse Andrews
Being friends with boys, by Terra Elan McVoy

Highlights of the months

I reached 20 followers on Bloglovin!
I wrote a guide on what to do In Case of HYPE Encounter
I got tagged by Claudia over at Penmarkings for the Infinity Dreams Award
Izel, from A Bookish Flower, became my partner in crime for WIFSY!

In real life

I annoyed my Twitter followers with over 200 #BellLetsTalk tweets.
Bell Let's Talk is an event created in 2011 to raise money and awareness for mental health. On January 27th, every text sent from a Bell device and every tweet containing the hashtag #BellLetsTalk represent 0.05$ that Bell donates toward mental health initiatives.
I finished my first semester of 12th grade, which means only one left before I'm done high school!

I re-organized my bookshelf by color!
I went tubing with friends and we had a blast!

What my TBR looks like

A total of 21 books + the Georgia Nicolson series I still haven't finish... So about 30

What's happening in February

Izel and I have this AWESOME surprise coming for you this Thursday, February 4th! You do not want to miss it!
I have a lot of discussion posts ideas which you will hopefully enjoy too!
I have a tutorial/diy coming your way (it might get pushed back to March, but I'm hoping February)

That's it! This is what January looked like for me and I'm excited to see how February will turn out, especially with that surprise I mentioned above!

How did YOUR January treat you lovelies?

Take care!

Sophie

Yaaaaay for six books! Nice choices btw- I liked Firsts and Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl. I read Eve & Adam plus Being Friends With Boys years ago, but I definitely remember enjoying them both! Congratulations on reaching 20 followers on Bloglovin! :) Also, yay for almost being done high school! I'm excited to see what the future brings for you. :) I can't wait to see your discussion posts plus the awesome surprise!

Thanks! I was scared I wouldn't enjoy Me, Earl and the dying girl because lots of people said the movie was way better, but I love them both!
The other two books, I got from Book Outlet! :D I had been eying them for awhile and though I was disppointed with Eve and Adam, I really liked Being friends with boys :D
Thank you and thank you! I'm excited too!^^ It's kind of scary thinking about it, but also really exciting :D
I can't wait to share them with you!
Thanks Nori! <3

Wow you're TBR is HUGE! Also congrats on the good start to the year! Though my goal this year is 75 and I only read five books in January, I too, am hoping to read loads in the summer. I hope you love The Distance Between Us and Magnus Chase! TDBU is a pretty quick read. I reread it a couple times and each time, it only took me one day to read it.
