Welcome to the end of January, friends! I know this is kind of a late post, but I was setting up my reading journal for February. And there was one more book I wanted to finish before the month was over. But better late than never! For my January 2022 Wrap Up, I read a total of 44 books! Most of them were comics, which might make up a lot of my reading for this year. I’m just really in a comics mood!
So, since I’m not really doing any reading challenges this year, we’ll just be focusing on books and movies and TV. Which I’ve got quite a few of for January!
Movies and TV
Since watching Spider-Man: No Way Home (which I saw twice more this month), I’ve started a Marvel rewatch! So, that’s a lot of what I watched this month. Thus far, I have watched: Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain Marvel, Iron Man, Iron Man 2, and Thor. I’ve made it pretty far! In addition, I’m also watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D for the first time, and I’m enjoying how it connects to the overall MCU timeline.
Outside of Marvel stuff, I finished watching Fruits Basket, which was so sweet and lovely. Movie wise, I also watched Encanto, Never Let Me Go, My Neighbor Totoro, and Tick, Tick…Boom! I’ve been watching some of Andrew Garfield’s earlier movies, which has been a treat as well.
