Welcome to January’s Monthly Minutes at Midnight!

 Here’s the deal: I’ll share the books I’ve obtained, posts of interest from others, giveaways I have happening, and just general random shenanigans. You know I love a shenanigan.  Also, covers all link to Goodreads, because I am awesome. As always, I link up with the Wrap Up Round Up, too! 

The Books

Shenanigans Since Last Time:

I read 9 books this month. Which is honestly not that bad considering… everything

Le sigh to the world, but these books were pretty darned good!

Fancy & New Since Last I Saw You!

I love looking at pretty covers! So here are some new ones that I have fallen in love with since our last update!

Pretty covers are pretty. 


Things we need to talk about at this juncture:

  • Whew, where do I even begin? The world is on fire, basically. It’s so poorly written that I’d like this apocalypse to be canceled, due to unbelievability. Look. If you think that it is okay to grab people off the streets and hold them in camps, if you think it’s okay to murder people for using their first amendment rights, if you think it is okay that a rapist, pedophile, and likely murderer is in charge and no one else in power is batting an eye… I can’t help you. You are beyond help. I’d say “seek therapy”, but honestly that would require a level of self-awareness that you don’t have. 
  • I promised vacation pictures, but then all hell broke loose. Looser? Idk, whatever. I will eventually write down stuff, and share more photos, but I don’t really have it in me to do much other than scream into the void, but I do feel like we need some joy in our lives, so I threw this together. Also, remember when the temperatures weren’t sub-zero F° every day? Yeah me either, but they were, over by the Equator.

Have a great February, loves! Let me know how your month was! Looking forward to anything coming up? Just trying to stay alive? I get it.

P.S.-What email providers do you guys use? I cannot get any to work for the life of me, and the ones that used to work cost a fortune! Jetpack won’t work either. AND my feed won’t pull. I have googled endlessly, I am tired. Anyone have any advice? Thanks, friends!

  1. It was such an apocalyptical month, it doesn’t even feel real. And I doubt it’s going to change much this month (although I did hear a psychic predict that *T* is going to die on 2/17 (!!)) I’ve got The Body and Dead First coming up this month, can’t wait to read your reviews!
