Books To The Tea

I am so excited to do my first every wrap-up! I read and listened to a grand total of 6 books, and they were BIG books for the most part. I got a lot of reading done because 1. at the start of the month I did a lot of traveling and cleaning so I had plenty of time to listen to audio books. 2. I got the stomach flu and that lead to some reading and a lot of listening to audio books. 3. WE GOT A LOT OF SNOW DAYS!!!!!!!! We had about a week of for snow and boy did I read! These are the books I read for the month of January.
