I read and reviewed fifty books in January. I read some great books this month. I am now noting which books earned four and five stars. (This won't necessarily make it easier when it comes to picking favorites at the end of the year.) I read all three 'One and Only' books by Katherine Applegate. They were FANTASTIC.
