2022 Starting Strong - January reads

 January 2022 Books Read and currently reading in February.

• The Story of Iduna and Agnarr by Mari Mancusi
  Finished this book that I was reading with my niece. It's cute and worthy of a Frozen fan collection. I like how they stay within characters from the movies.You get to know more about Iduna and Agnarr answering some questions Frozen II did not. Leaving only one mystery that may not need to be answered for some for me I want to know. As a parent wouldn't you keep an ear out to know how your son and son's kingdom is doing. Once you find out that your exhusband is deceased wouldn't you come back just to see his face one more time?
• Outlander series is coming back in March so I picked up the book again. After getting a quater into the forth book  Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon I realized I did read this already but I reread anyways cause why not. It's a good book and I enjoyed picking up on minor details I missed the first time and can also point out the differences between the book and the show. Starting the 5th book The Fiery Cross now. 
• I finished the short story The Queens's Army by Marissa Meyer from the Lunar Chronicles. Started Cress today.
  
•  I was recommended the tv series A Discovery of Witches and fell in love with it so naturally I picked up the first book of the Souls series by Debroah Harkness, A Discovery of Witches. I'm glad to read the book after watching the first season it gave me way more information than the series did but watching the show first still instilled the image of Matthew and Diana from the show. Where as if I read the book first then the image my mind would have created would have changed. I am nearly done with this book but I am most definitely renting the second audiobook from the library until i can afford my own copy to add to my library. This seems like a series I would reread. What I am unsure of is if I should listen to the second book Shadow of Night before watching the second season.
  
• Graveyard Shift by Angela Roquet
  I was working on a puzzle and thought I could listen to a book while I worked on the puzzle but I accidentally started listening to this one instead of the one below. Listening to it read by Alexa is not recommended for this book so my review may be off but I didn't really enjoy it to really read it or continue the series. I believe I got this kindle copy for free and I downloaded it because it reminded me of the show Dead Like Me. This story was way more intense and nothing at all like Dead Like Me. It was just not meant for me.
  
• The Night Gardener by Jonathan Auxier
  This book has been on my tbr from Amazon Prime reads for a while. I thought I finish it so I can return it. I enjoyed this one so much more than the book I just finished above. It gives off the Serafina vibes and overall an interesting story.
  
• How to Stop Time by Matt Haig
  Haig is beginning to become one of my favorite authors. I am really enjoying everything he has written that I've read so far and this book is not an exception. It kind of reminded my of the movie Age of Adaline with combination of the Henry Morgan of the 2014 tv series Forever. If you like historic feel, time travel, and immortality you may enjoy this book as much as I did.
