*Platypire Read-A-Thon* January 2018

So it's January, which means I owe y'all an updated Platypire Read-A-Thon list. I'm already in the middle of the month, and I currently feel like I don't have that many books to add to the list, but I'm probably just lying to myself and things are going to get even more out of control than they already were. 

If you've been following my blog recently, you know that I've recently moved back to the states from living in Germany and my life is currently in limbo. At the moment my kids and I are living with my parents in Kansas while my husband hunts for a house for us and works in Colorado. With luck our separation will not last long, but there's really no telling how long the house-hunt will take. With that in mind, I don't know how well I will do keeping up with blogging stuff, but I'm hoping that my parents will be distracting enough (they haven't seen my kids in 4 years) that I will have some extra time to myself to work on getting caught up on blogging things that got behind while we were preparing for the move. Added bonus is that I don't have to cook all the meals because my parents will do some of that. It almost makes me feel like a kid again. 

But without further ado, here is where I'm at on my read-a-thon for January currently.

So I was right that I was lying to myself about how many new books I would be adding to my list, especially since a couple were added to the currently reading that I left off of the December results because I hadn't started reading them at the end of December. Several of my new books don't go live until late February or later though, and a few of them are double-dips where I won copies on Goodreads but was also able to get copies as read-nows on Netgalley (that provides slightly more incentive for me to read them in a timely fashion). I'm sure I'll barely read a fraction of the new books from my list this month, but we shall see just how poorly I do.

How many books do you think I can read by the end of the month? - Katie
