January in Review

I google imaged 'January' and this was by far the best image.
Month one of 2012 down! I hope everyone had a good start to the year. It's been a bit slow for me in terms of reading and blogging (although it looks like more, thanks to holiday build-up!), because between finalising wedding plans, trying to get fit, and getting actual work done, I haven't had a helluva lot of time. Which makes me kinda sad. On the plus side: I'm getting married in four months (eep!), and there's not too much planning left to do. I also signed up for a writing course, which starts in a few weeks, and I can't wait! Here's what I have been up to on the blog:

I read/reviewed...
I watched...
I swooned over...
I brought reading icons back...
I also ditched Mag Monday (I still might feature magazines every now and then, just not every week), and I'm currently contemplating whether I should pick or pass on Pash, Pick or Pass. I might just feature it once or twice a month rather than every week. I want more time for actual reading! And, y'know, life and stuff. Anyhoo, that was my January - how was yours?

      Thanks! It's weird, for most of the month I felt like I wasn't reading, but I managed to power through a few!

    You busy girl! Good luck with the wedding plans. You're in the home stretch which if I remember correctly is also the most nerve racking part hoping all the details work out. *fingers crossed* for you.

      Thanks! I think (I hope) I'll feel better when the last bits are finalised. Like the boys' suits! They've been a bit slack hehe.

    I love monthly wraps ups! It's so fun to see what was happening around the globe.

    And it feels like I swoon over the Fuentes brothers daily. Now I'm off to see what you thought of Tom Mackee!

      They have a tendency to make me feel better (or sometimes worse!) about how I've spent my month!

    Hope you enjoy your writing course-that sounds like an exciting addition to life besides of course preparing for the wedding! Hope February is also great!

    Some of these books I have yet to try, but others I'm really looking forward to. Like Legend by Marie Lu. :)

      I didn't like it as much as I'd hoped but it's worth a read :)
