This is Part 1 of a 2 part post about January 2009 on Birdbrain(ed) Book Blog. Part 2 will be focused on the Blog Improvement Challenge and my status on that front. Tune in tomorrow to read all about it!
I’m amazed at all the things I did this month. I certainly think this is the most amount of books I’ve read in a month (barring that one October where I read about 20 Doctor Who books)! It was really fun, too; I’m a lot more energized about blogging and reviewing books now than when I first started blogging and I think it’s paid off. 
Thank you to everyone who commented and visited Birdbrain(ed) Book Blog! You all make me want to continue blogging and improving. Here’s to another great month!
Reading Stats
I read 17 books and 16.
4 of them were audiobooks.
1 was chick lit.
4 were mystery/detective.
9 were YA/teen.
3 had a pair of twins in them (and two sets were twins with psychic powers).
10 books were written by authors new to me.
0 of them were rereads!
9 were books from my TBR pile.
1 was an ARC.
I read 4883 pages and listened to 35 hours.
I hated 2 books but absolutely loved 4.
I checked one book out from the library (but haven’t read it yet).
