So… after a shaky start to my New Year’s resolution to read more books, I’m finally making progress. I talked a bit about what the problem was here. Now that I’m conscious of it, I make reading a priority. I no longer view it as a guilty pleasure. I *need* to read to stay productive, so I’m sticking to it.
So what’s the count like so far?
- 3 single titles
- 1 category
- 8 novellas (4 made up one book)
So, there have been 12 weeks in this year and I’ve read the equivalent of 6 books. I have lots of catching up to do, but I don’t foresee that being a problem. I’ve already bought a half dozen books this year (as if my teetering TBR pile wasn’t ginormous enough as it is!).
I’m presently reading Alyssa Day’s ATLANTIS UNLEASHED, which releases in June. I love her sense of humor! I’m in the very first chapters, so can’t say much more than that, but will share my thoughts when I’m done with it.
I recently finished Lauren Dane’s LAID BARE, which releases in August, and I loved it! Put it on your wish list and pick it up when it comes out. It rocks. I can’t recommend it enough. Great characters, unique story, deeply emotional.
As for my own books, I’m getting way too excited about the upcoming release of EVE OF DARKNESS. Just 3 more weeks! It’s been almost three years since I wrote the proposal for the series, so it seems like I’ve been waiting ages. Plus, it’s been a year since my last new single title came out, DON’T TEMPT ME. I haven’t had a gap/stretch like that in my entire career.
I’ll be hanging out at Murder She Writes tomorrow (Monday). Bitten by Books will be hosting a S. J. Day contest starting April 15th. They’ll be giving away Marked posters and advance reading copies of EVE OF DESTRUCTION (Marked, Bk #2). Hope to see you!
