Look Ahead: March
I always hesitate to look too far ahead, since my reading is dictated as much by my whims and desires of the moment as by release dates. This past month I read 7 of the 7 books that I had planned to cover, and even if 1 was a DNF and 1 still needs a review, I'm happy with that.
In the interest of trying to be better at holding myself accountable, here are the reviews I'm hopeful you'll see this month:
- The Midnight Bargain by C.L. Polk (I'm reading this now and loving it)
- Lewdmancy by Eden Redd (I'm thoroughly enjoying this)
- The Queen's Weapons by Anne Bishop (This is next on my reading list)
- The Noble and the Nightingale by Barbara Ann Wright (I'm excited to start this)
- We Shall Sing a Song Into the Deep by Andrew Kelly Stewart (I'm really curious about this one)
- Blood Moon by Catherine Lundoff (With a late month book tour, I'll be reading this soon)
- All the Murmuring Bones by A.G. Slatter (Another late month book tour, I'll be reading for soon)
- Your Turn to Suffer by Tim Waggoner (This sounds fantastic - I can't wait to read it)
What did your February reads look like? What's on your shelf for March?
I'm also on the tour for All the Murmuring Bones, I'm looking forward to it. And I just saw a 2 star review for We Shall Sing so I'm a little worried now!
