The month in review - January

The month ebbed and flowed with a pace of reading that was rather on the slow side. That was probably due to the nature of the month. A return to work, the cold and the fatigue caused by getting back into the routine.

it was also the first month of trying something slightly different with a theme for the reading. The theme for January was Russia and saw a mix of Russian authors and books about the country. It included some big names in the shape of Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy but also some other discoveries that were well worth spending time on.
