Last year I spent Fridays talking about my favorite books and authors which was great, but I decided to open it up a bit this year so I can talk about anything that takes my fancy.

For the second month in a row my post about The One has been my most viewed post. I’m so pleased I’m not the only one ridiculously excited about it. Also, for the first time ever, a WWW Wednesday post has not made it into the top 3. Innnnntresting.

      2. The Hunter, The Bear and the Seventh Sister by B.I Woolet (View Post)

Books Purchased: 
I didn’t need to buy any books this month because I have sooooooooooooo many on my TBR list and so many I got for Christmas and my birthday. But…I had to buy these.

And The Immortal Rules by Julia Kagawa. It was only £1. I couldn’t resist.

Books Swapped: 

Swap #1: I only swapped one book this month; Vonnegut’s Breakfast of Champions for The Book of Skulls by Robert Silverberg. I haven’t read any Silverberg before.
