What did you read this month? Did you have any favourites? Have you read any of the books I read or are any of them on your TBR? Tell me your thoughts!
Ooh, glad to see you liked The Hazel Wood! It personally wasn't my type of book, but it's always nice to see people enjoying it. I also can't wait to read Love, Hate & Other Filters because all I hear are AMAZING things. (The only problem is that my preorder shipped to my house instead of my campus :')) Hopefully February brings more books!

The Hazel Wood was great! I can see how it's not everyone's type of book, but I also love seeing people enjoy a book, even if I didn't. Love Hate & Other Filters is also really sweet. Not what I was expecting, but I still enjoyed it a lot and the messages in it. Aw I hope you manage to get to it when you're back home! Thank you Alia, I hope you read some wonderful books this month too <3
Deleteso many amazing books! i didn't know brokeback mountain is a book... is it a movie adaptation book or is the movie is the book adaptation?

I agree! And yes, Brokeback Mountain was a short story which was then adapted into a movie. I haven't watched the movie yet but I hear it's excellent (I'd definitely recommend the short story too)!
DeleteI read a lot of books last month, and I had a couple of favorites this month, one of them also being Love, Hate, and Other Filters! I'm also really curious about The Hazel Wood, so I'll have to check that one out, maybe borrow it or something :D
ReplyDeleteWe both had a producting reading month in January it seems! Love, Hate & Other Filters was great and I've already recommended it to lots of people. And The Hazel Wood is really good and might be my top favourite of the month. I hope you have a great February Valerie :D
