We Judged Our January Reads | Book Olympics

Welcome to our January Book Wrap Up — Book Olympics Edition! Instead of a traditional wrap up, we turned our January reads into a full-on Book Olympics, complete with announcers, judging, and Olympic-style scoring. For each book, one of us gives an energetic synopsis while the reader scores it across multiple categories — just like Olympic judges. Some books earned gold, some barely stuck the landing, and a few sparked real debate. 👀 If you love creative wrap ups, bookish games, reading challenges, or BookTube formats that are a little different, this one’s for you! 🕒 Chapters / Timestamps 00:00 — Intro 01:03 — Scoring Criteria 02:47 — Book 1 04:28 — Book 2 06:03 — Book 3 07:38 — Book 4 09:15 — Book 5 11:08 — Book 6 12:51 — Book 7 14:41 — Book 8 16:18 — Book 9 18:17 — Book 10 20:24 — Book 11 22:56 — Awarding the Medals & Closing Ceremony 24:28 — Bloopers 📖 Books Mentioned Pride & Prejudice — Jane Austen The Buffalo Hunter Hunter — Stephen Graham Jones Less — Andrew Sean Greer Mickey7 — Edward Ashton The Butcher’s Masquerade (Dungeon Crawler Carl #5) — Matt Dinniman One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This — Omar El Akkad Babel — R.F.
