Monthly Wrap-Up | January 2015



My Life
January was a stressful month. Work piled up and I was struggling underneath the brunt of it. By some miracle, I found some time to blog, but not as much as I wanted to. 
Cassia has taken an unannounced blogging hiatus, and it is to be determined whether she is going to return.
Max has been even busier than I have (which I did not think was possible) so her posts were also limited. 
We are doing our best to keep posting new content, be active on social media, and visit/comment on all of your lovely blogs. I hope February is a better month.

Books I Read
I only read a total of 6 books this month (and one was a DNF, but I am still counting it).

Challenge Updates
I have decided to torture myself this year, so I made my Goodreads reading goal 100 books. So far, I have only read 6 books. I am already at least 2 books between schedule, which Goodreads has not forgotten to remind me EVERY TIME I log in.

On a happier note, I am succeeding with the 2015 Discussion Post Challenge. My goal is to be a Creative Conversationalist with 13-24 discussion posts this year. I knocked two of them out this month and there are more to come soon!


I cannot wait to continue the wonderful conversations that they posts have started!
