January Book Review

  My goal this year is to try and read at least four books a month and to finish all of the books on my TBR list and my pile of half-finished books. Looking at my bookshelves and my iBooks, Kindle and Kobo apps, I have plenty to keep me busy! January ended with me having finished six titles. In no particular order these were: The Priory of the Orange Tree (buy here ) - Samantha Shannon This was a spillover from December that I had put down for a while. Initially, I didn’t really get into it. There were a lot of characters to get to know and a number of different story lines that didn’t seem to gel. I almost gave up on it. I am very glad I didn’t though. At a certain point things suddenly started connecting and the story really took off. I found myself staying up far too late on many an evening, not wanting to put it down. In brief, the book follows the politics and intrigues of a number of different nations where a single religious narrative is followed from different viewpoints.
