Bonus Post - What We Read in January

We plan to put up a brief bonus post at the end of every month to catalog where we are in our goals to read 100 books this year. Here's the breakdown for this month:

Katie:

  • Five Stories by Willa Cather
  • The Walls Around Us by Nova Ren Suma
  • The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
  • Coraline by Neil Gaiman
  • Emily of New Moon by L.M. Montgomery
I've liked everything I've read so far, but will include a word of caution for The Walls Around Us as it contains some mature content. I'm currently reading the second book in L.M. Montgomery's Emily series, entitled Emily Climbs. I've also read two volumes of World Trigger this past month, which is a manga series written and illustrated bDaisuke Ashihara. I'm not sure if or how I should count manga for this challenge, so your suggestions would be most welcome!


Sarah:

  • Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster
  • Coraline by Neil Gaiman
  • Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis
  • The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
  • One by Sarah Crossan
I'm currently reading Escape From Mr. Lemoncello's Library by Chris Grabenstein. My reading journey has been enjoyable thus far. Of the above I would especially recommend Daddy-Long-Legs, Mere Christianity, and The Graveyard Book.

For now we're just listing things off, but please feel free to help us continue discussion in the comments. We're always happy to discuss literature, and whether you want to know what we thought of a book, suggest one we might like, or mention something else entirely, we'd be happy to get your input.
