January Book Report

Contoocook, NH, Jan 2025

I finished 10 books last month.

A quote from this month's reading:

“Consider my grandmother... But she wasn't a fan of the unvarnished truth. She liked the truth fully varnished, with a tinted glaze and a doily on top.” --A. J. Jacobs, It's All Relative

Here are the books I finished in January 2026: 

1. The Road that Made America by James Dodson (5-stars)
2. N or M by Agatha Christie (3-stars)
3. Love Lies Bleeding by Susan Whittig Albert (4-stars)
4. Evans Above by Rhys Bowen (3-stars)
5. It's All Relative: Adventures Up and Down the World's Family Tree by A. J. Jacobs (4-stars)
6. Get a Hobby: 365 Things to Do for Fun by Jasmine Cho (3-stars)

I am off to a good start with my reading this year. It was very cold and snowy in New Hampshire last month which made curling up in a comfy spot with my book very appealing.
