Hi everyone!
I’m a bit late on this update but excited to share my plans for this month’s reading!
January ended quite well for my reading goals:
- I read Jacob T Marley and Wonder for book groups.
- I devoured Winter, Princess Academy, Fablehaven, and Eleanor and Park for fun.
- I started strong on my War and Peace reading.
- And I enjoyed Little House in the Big Woods for my #LittleHouseRAL Challenge.
February’s goals are just as ambitious. I am excited to experience these great books!
For Book Group:
Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys // This novel follows the untold story of the mad wife in the attic of Jane Eyre. Should be an intriguing read!
Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya // Not my typical book choice and honestly not super excited about it. A Latin American novel about healing, myth, and delivery.
For The Classics Club:
Persuasion by Jane Austen // I am getting close to finishing this! Top of the list this month!
War and Peace, books 2 and 3 by Leo Tolstoy // I am still making good progress with this giant. And I’m enjoying it too!
Heidi by Joanna Spryi or Around the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne // Two great classics. Hoping to get to at least one this month!
For the Little House Read Along:
Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder // Looking forward to continuing the story in this second novel.
For Fun:
Fablehaven: Rise of the Evening Star by Brandon Mull // The next book in one of my favorite fantasy series.
Stars Above by Marissa Meyer // So excited to get a little more from the Lunar Chronicles world!
From the Notebooks of a Middle School Princess by Meg Cabot // I actually just finished this little book a few days ago. Very cute. Look for my review this week!
The Hesitant Heiress by Dawn Crandall // A big thanks to the wonderful Carrie at Reading is my Superpower for this recommendation. I am on the wait-list at the library!
And I better stop there before I get ahead of myself 🙂
What are you reading this month?
Oh can’t wait to hear what you have to say about Wide Sargasso Sea! I finally picked up a copy last month, but haven’t even thought about reading it yet.

Sounds like you’re doing well with War and Peace, that’s awesome! My book club is doing that for our huge book summer read this year and I’m weirdly looking forward to it…

Thank you! And that is so cool! I think my book group would panic. Haha. Luckily I am reading it at the same time as my brother so that keeps me going 🙂
