Hey everyone, sorry I've been absent. I've been finishing up that kitchen cabinet project (it's nearly done!) but I am back with another "Got My Eye On" because we all need more books, right? This one contains no scary titles but I'm sure I'l find a few soon. Keeping it down to three is tough! 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 :) Bookworm Brandee   Amazon  ♦ Goodreads Until Harry by L.A. Casey He was my best friend, my best not-really-big-brother, and my best protector. He was my best everything. He was mine. Coming home is hard for Lane.

Retro Review Biters & The Reborn  by Harry Shannon & Brett J.

February 2017 New Reviews Posted (clicking on cover will bring you to my review) 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. Reviews in the Works: Books TBR in March This month I'm going a little heavier on the romance because January & February were horrorific. Have you read any of 'em?

Wells   Narrated by Derek Jacobi Scifi Time-Travel Unabridged Audio 3+ hours  Amazon   ♦  Goodreads When the Time Traveller courageously stepped out of his machine for the first time, he found himself in the year 802,700--and everything has changed.  In another, more utopian age, creatures seemed to dwell together in perfect harmony.  The Time Traveller thought he could study these marvelous beings--unearth their secret and then retum to his own time--until he discovered that his invention, his only avenue of escape, had been stolen.   H.G.

Fellside  by  M. R. Carey Narrated by Flinty Williams Released: April  2016 by Hachette Audio Length: 15+ Hours Amazon  ♦  Goodreads Jess Moulson is convicted of murder. But it's a murder she can't remember committing. Nothing is quite clear from the drug-fuelled night when a blaze set in Jess' apartment killed the little boy upstairs. But when the media brands her a child killer, she starts to believe it herself. Now she's on her way to Fellside, the biggest, most formidable women's prison in Europe, standing in the bleak Yorkshire moors. But Jess won't be alone in her prison cell. Lurking in the shadows is an unexpected visitor...the ghost of the 10-year-old boy she killed. He says he needs her help - and he won't take no for an answer.
