February in Review:

♦ I read 3 Short Horror Collections which was 2 too many, if you ask me. It threw me into a mini-slump ♦ 2 Horror Novels ♦ 1 Monster-porn ♦ 1 Scifi Erotica

♦ I'm on track for my Goodreads Challenge but I feel like I didn't read very much. I blame the tv and stress.

♦ Only three were audiobooks so I'm doing better than last month where all but one were audiobooks (ugh so much slacking was done in January).

♦ I continue to be a failure at DNFing. The only thing I skimmed/DNF'd were two short stories in Five Stories High because they weren't meant for me.

This month I'm going a little heavier on the romance because January & February were horrorific. Have you read any of 'em?

    I had a mad month for DNFing! I think I only completed two ebooks in the last two weeks! It sounds like you've had a bit of a struggle last month...I hope you get some better books this time!

      It was a wee bit disappointing but only because I wrongly assumed it was set in the same world as The Girl with all the Gifts. I am such a dunce :(

    Not bad! Those collections can be really hard to do with multiple in a row.

    The Enchanted Lover's Woodman looks fun!

    Death Before Decaf looks cute and Little Dead Red is pretty interesting as well. Short story collections can either break or make you. I read one this month and it was really short itself or I probably would not have gotten to it. I keep meaning to read some Hap and Leonard but haven't yet. I didn't even watch the series. Mr. Barb was flipping one night and ran across it. I told him that was Hap and Leonard and he was like "How do you know these things....let me guess, it's a book right?" He knows me too well.

      The Hap and Leonard series is madness and I love it!

    Reading slumps are the worst. I can't do too many short story collections. Sorry these slowed down your reading progress. I have a hard time DNFing. I will do it but probably not as much as I should. Have a great March!

      Thanks, Carole. Fortunately, the slump was only a mini one brought on by too many similar type collections. I switched up genres and am back on track.

    If it makes you feel any better, I'm also a failure at DNFing lol.

    That cover for Can't Touch is interesting, haha. Enjoy your March TBR books!

      Glad I'm not the only bad DNFer. I always feel like I'm missing something awesome. It rarely works out in my favor when I stick to it though.

      Yeah, my kids had a nice laugh when that one arrived in the mail ;)

Tackling the TBR List in 2018: Time to Vote!

I tried this meme last year and though it was incredibly fun I never revisited it because I spent the rest of the year breaking my promises to myself and reading ARC's and review copies instead of my TBR pile.I hope to change it this year and read at least one book a month from the TBR stacks. Michelle @  Because Reading  created and hosts the meme. Here they are, three actual books randomly plucked from one of my piles. Perfect for the Valentines season, right?!  Please feel free to let me know if any of these are not worth reading! I am determined to learn how to DNF properly. The Books              I actually picked these out for a Twitter post in January and meant to do the meme then because the Twitter-verse wasn't interested in my tbr pile. I did have one vote for Blood Rubies & In Cold Blood.  Click Cover for More About the Books             ...

Got My Eye On (8)

I saw a post over at  Mailbox Monday  that was encouraging readers to share their best finds of the week via their  Books That Caught Our Eye  posts. I love, love, love that idea so this is my warped version of it. Here are the books I've added to my wishlist over the last week or two with credit to my enablers :) Bookfanatic @  Booklikes   Buy  /  GR What Remains by Garrett Leigh (m/m romance) Web designer Jodi Peters is a solitary creature.

Add in the heady current between them, and Jodi can’t help falling hard in love. He offers Rupert a home within the walls of his cosy Tottenham flat—a sanctuary to nurture their own brand of...
