    I managed just seven reviews for the first month of the year. I start with a few French classics and then a book following Mozart. Then, the daring early avatars\u2019 lives told. Then a woman goes on a killing spree. A doctor\u2019s wife tells her life with an overbearing mother. Then a final Japanese novella that I didn\u2019t really get on with. No New countries and no new publishers.<\/p>\n

    Book of the month<\/p>\n

    I loved this book about those early pilots flying over the Andes as the earliest commercial flight started taking off the ground. I have a couple other of his books on my tbr I hope to get to this month.<\/p>\n

    Non-Book moments<\/p>\n

    January is slow for new albums, and I haven\u2019t brought any as of yet this year. I streamed the Newq Anne B savage album, which is the second I have the debut album. This album is good I loved the song Donegal as it is a place I have many happy thoughts about. On TV, Skelton Crew finished a little bit of an anti-climax in the end. Then I love a bit of cheesy crime TV, so the new series of the good ship murder has been fun, a silly holiday destination crime series. Chanel Fives\u2019 take on Death in Paradise has a few twists. Then at the end of the month, Disney Plus had a new series High Potenial a sort of Female Monk a woman with a high IQ and unique way of viewing the world gets a job as a detective after solving a case whilst working as a cleaner at the police station.<\/p>\n

    Next Month<\/p>\n

    I think I will be slow for a while. I am still just in the middle of sorting my reading room, office, and library. This involves storing a lot of books as I need a clear out. Then, I will buy new bookcases and a new hi-fi unit with some shelves. I am not the quickest at this. I hope to have it all done by the end of February. I am also mixing some new books in I had dreamed of reading Classics all year, but I now know after a Month the reason I don\u2019t read a lot of classics is maybe I was too caught up in the latest thing, but that said I still have several new books building up over the month I will be reading a few new books each month just keep on top of my subscriptions and prize list I brought the five translated books on the republic of consciousness US longlist that came out earlier this month. I am still a million overdoing the Booker International. I have shadowed for so many years, and I can\u2019t think of not doing it.\u00a0 I may do a piece when my library is done I am looking forward to it. Done, I don\u2019t cope well with the Chaotic Room, and this room is the place I blog\u00a0 from these days. I will be happier when it is all finished. What are your plans for next month?<\/p>\n
