Monthly Book List: January 2016

I previously posted about how I read more books in January than I did in all of 2015. Since then I decided it could be interesting to list out all the different books I read and give quick ratings for each of them.

Book of the Month

If I had to pick one book to recommend among all the books I read in January, it’d probably be Wonder.

Wonder is a fictional book about a kid that has some kind of physical disorder that causes him to get stared at and bullied. The book is a little young adult-ish, so I wasn’t expecting to like it as much as I did, but it was really funny and even made me cry a couple of times.
