Welcome to our first monthly recap of the 100 Books in 2024 Reading Challenge, I’m your host and participant: Sydney!
Most people who know me, know that I am the kind of person to make BIG plans and go a bit overboard. So when I told people I was going to try to read 100 books in a year, most just nodded their heads. A quick check on the calculator, and the math shows to accomplish this, I have to read about 8.3 books per month. I was a bit behind this month, but nothing that can’t be made up in the months to come.
Here’s a recap of the 5 Books I read in January and a few other fun stats!
5 Books
4:50 From Paddington by Agatha Christie
This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone
Tiny Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayed

Yellowface by R. F. Kuang
