Already time for the first wrap-up of 2022. I read 10 books in this first month of the year so I did pretty great. It was hard to choose a favorite between The Long-Forgotten Winter King and Electric Idol but I made a choice eventually. I do love both though!

FAVORITE BOOK OF THE MONTH:
He was the most beautiful man alive.
And if I wasn’t careful, he was going to be my death.*A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Psyche and Eros that’s as sinful as it is sweet.*
In the ultra-modern city of Olympus, there’s always a price to pay. Psyche knew she’d have to face Aphrodite’s ire eventually, but she never expected her literal heart to be at stake…or for Aphrodite’s gorgeous son to be the one ordered to strike the killing blow.
Eros has no problem shedding blood. But when it comes time to take out his latest target, he can’t do it. Confused by his reaction to Psyche, he does the only thing he can think of to keep her safe: he marries her. Psyche vows to make Eros’s life a living hell until they find a way out of this mess. But as lines blur and loyalties shift, she realizes he might take her heart after all…and she’s not sure she can survive the loss.

What was your favorite book of the month?
Looks like you had a fab reading month! A shame to see Out of the Blue with 2/5 stars as it is one of the books I am looking forward to this year, very curious about your review/your thoughts. My favourite book was a picture book called Cows go Boo.
Congrats on reading 10 books! I hope February is good to you.
I haven’t read any of these, but I’m glad you had a great reading month! Happy reading in February!
Ten books is great, Stephanie! I reviewed eight books but I’m happy with that, although I’m trying for more in February😁
So happy Katee Roberts continues to deliver for you!
Haven’t read any of them. Will check out Electric Idol! Great job! Happy February!
What a great month of reading! Well done!
I read Electric Idol this month too and LOVED it! It was such a good read! I can’t wait for more in this series now~
i keep hearing good things about electric idol, and it’s making me realise i should pick up neon gods already. i’m glad to see it at the top of your list. overall, it looks like you had a wonderful month! you should definitely be proud of your 10 books!
What a great start to the year! I look forward to trying Katee Robert and Annette Marie. I hope you have a wonderful February in reading!
Looks like you had a great reading month! We had The Long-Forgotten Winter King and Electric Idol in common and I also adored both reads 🙂 Can’t wait for the next installments in both those series, luckily they’re not too far away!
Only 1/5 for Karinna’s book??? Wow!
I know, I just wasn’t a fan. I’m the odd one out because I saw many people enjoying it. I felt so bad because I love Karina 🙈
She is hit or miss for me Stephanie!
It’s so awesome that you enjoyed so many books this month. It really did seem to fly by. Electric Idol has a really unique concept and I am so glad that it was a winner for you. Happy February! 🙂
Happy February to you too!
10 books for January is great. I managed that as well. I am not familiar with any of the books you mention, but impressed by the variety. Electric Idol would fit into my themed reading for February which is Antiquity (Greek gods and other tales).
