February’s insights!
February was a slower month, with only 7 books read. It was also a busier month, with my birthday and my daughter’s at the start of March. I did manage to fit in TJ Klune, which is always a good month. AND I got to read an ARC of Etched in Bone, which is the conclusion to Anne Bishop’s The Others series. It was hard saying goodbye to Meg, Simon, and the rest of the crew at the Lakeside Courtyard.
I think February was important though, because it paved the way for March. There are so many books I’m looking forward to this month, like Silence Fallen by Patricia Briggs. I love catching up with Mercy Thompson and Adam Hauptman. I have a feeling March is going to be a much better reading month for me.
What I’ve got my eye on for March?
I’m actually really excited for my scheduled reviews this month. There’s four authors up there that I’m already familiar with and know I enjoy. The only one I don’t know, Dead Little Mean Girl, looks like a good read. Plus, it’s only five on the schedule. That means I get to pick a lot of random reads spontaneously, and I know which ones are already on my radar.
I already own all of these. Six of them are listed on my Beat the Backlist list. (I hate writing list list, it feels weird.) So, I’ll probably be picking 2-3 of these to read in between. I’m already leaning toward The Martian, Lies of Locke Lamora and Kids of Appetite.
Let’s go March!
I can’t wait to read Eched in Bone. I binge read all the other books over Christmas and can’t believe that this storyline might be over.

I just finished Etched in Bone and it was so good too. It is the last book about Lakeside, but I hear that she’s got a spinoff about someone living in another of the settlements. Hopefully it’s just as good. 🙂

that’s right since he is not the fastest writer, and he starts new series instead of concentrating on his ongoing one – very similar to Brandon Sanderson – Love his The Stormlight Archive series, that series is going to take 20years for him to finish. 20 YEARS!!! I’m old and grey by then. 😀

I’ve noticed that. I feel like I’ve been reading Dresden Files for years now, going as slow as possible, and he has yet to release a new one since I started.

Have you ever read his Codex series? I absolutely ADORED it – even more than Dresden Files <3.

I haven’t. I read the first Aeronaut book, but that’s all I’ve read, other than Dresden.

In my mind Codex is soooooo much better than Aeronaut and DF 😀 and it’s all finished – not like DF or his latest series. 6 books and you are done!!

I’ll have to go check them out, though I’m pretty fond of Dresden.
