Januári összegző | January wrap up

 

! PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR ENGLISH !

 

Sziasztok! :)

A mai bejegyzésem fő témái a januári olvasási élményeim és könyvekkel kapcsolatos eléréseim lesznek.

Ezt a posztot egy kedves barátnőmmel közösen készített februári könyves bejegyzéssorozat keretein belül hozom el nektek. Instagramon @shitofareaderslife felhasználónévvel találhatjátok meg, emellett pedig van egy blogja is, katt ide, ha ezt is meg szeretnétek nézni.

Kellemes böngészést mindenkinek! ❤

 

A januári hónap során...

... tíz bejegyzést sikerült közzétennem a blogomon. Bár ez kevesebb, mint a decemberi posztok mennyisége, így is nagyon büszke vagyok erre a teljesítményemre.

... tizennégy könyvet sikerült elolvasnom, ezek mindegyike első alkalmas olvasás volt.

... négy olyan könyvet sikerült elolvasnom, amelyeket olyan írók írtak, akiktől ezelőtt még nem olvastam. Az új évre az egyik célom az volt, hogy minden hónapban szeretnék egy ilyen írótól olvasni, és bár még nagyon az év elején járunk, nagyon örülök neki, hogy a januári hónap során sikerült ezt a részt teljesítenem.

Most pedig szeretném nektek részletesebben is megmutatni, hogy mely könyveket olvastam el az elmúlt néhány hét során (a legkiemelkedőbbeket egy kis rózsaszín medállal fogom jelölni).

Hey everyone! :)

Here I am with a brand new blog post, and today I will talk about my January bookish reading experiences and achievements.

I am brining you this list in collaboration with one of my dear friends, because we are continuing our monthly bookish themed blog post series. You can find her as @shitofareaderslife on Instagram, and she has a blog too, click here if you want to check it out.

Now, without further ado, here are my January bookish achievements. Happy reading! ❤

 

During the month of January...

... I have managed to publish ten new posts on my blog. Although it is less than the number of December posts, I am super proud of myself for doing.

... I have read fourteen books, and all of these were first time readings.

... I have read four books written by authors who were new to me. One of my goals for the new year was to read at least from one new-to-me author per month, and yes it is still the very beginning of 2022, but I am super happy that I could read from two authors whose work I was not familiar with before.

And now, let me list you all the novels I have read in January (I will mark my biggest favourites with a little pink medal).
