January 2023 Book Reading List

On to year six of these monthly book reading lists!

I read a total of 34 different books to my son, whereas I only read a total of 10 different books to my daughter.

And I was able to finish a whopping 3 books for myself.

Books I Read to My Son

My son has recently gotten into the Elephant and Piggie books by Mo Williems. And my wife and I haven’t just been reading them to him - he’s been reading them with us and to himself. The little guy isn’t even five years old yet!

A week or so ago my wife brought home a stack of them from the library. When my son say that stack, he made me read him each and every one.

I managed to finish three books. The third “book” is kind of cheating, since it turned out to be a short story.
