In January

-Anna

My goal for this year is to wrap up each month's books while they are still fresh in my mind, instead of waiting until the end of the year and trying to remember.

So in January, I read...

• The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman - I like Gaiman's writing style. This book is a little younger than YA, but it has some fun and ghostly elements that I enjoyed.
  
• In the Woods by Tana French - Really liked French's writing and character development. However (in case you missed my earlier post), I was disappointed with the conclusion of the book.
• Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer - I have seen this book on library shelves, book store displays, internet book sites, and for some reason I am just now reading it. What can I say, but that I liked it, and yeah, I'll be getting the next book in the series.
• Beastly by Alex Flinn - modern day, teenie soap version of Beauty and the Beast. It had some entertaining elements, and if I was 14, I'd probably love it, but it's not a book that transcends age for me.
• A Ring of Endless Light by Madeleine L'Engle - L'Engle is one of those authors I know about, read, love, and then forget about for awhile. Reading When You Reach Me, put her back on my radar, and honestly I think enjoyed this book more after reading When You Reach Me.

If you read some good books in January, let us know. We are always, always looking for good books!!
