Ana Mo Shoshin | January Vlog Style Monthly Reading Wrap Up | Hello 2024 | Poetry to start the year! Memoir, Series @AnaMoShoshin | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Hi, I’m Mo.
Hello 2024! Here we have the first wrap up of a new year! Jan 2024 felt like it was a year in and of itself, so it's not surprising that I read 20 books this month. To be clear, many of them were short works, some being extremely short! I read some translated works for Japan in January. I finished a series I started in 2023. I read a lot of poetry! I read for The Savidge Prompts, The TBR Spin, and The Booktube Spin! I read romance, memoir, cozy mystery, and a classic! I even had a reread!
I did not stick to many of my goals for the year so far. Not only was I intending to read less, I was also intending to be more consistent on the channel. I have had an unexpected hiatus from the channel this month, and 2024 has not been very consistent in general. There are reasons, and life happens, so it's not worth beating myself up over it.
But I would like to get back on track with my goals soon!
How was your reading month in January 2024? How have your goals been going?
