Well, January is over and I only managed 9 books. That's pretty low for me, and I'm not sure what happened. I will need to pick up to meet my goal for the year!

February has come and gone, and we're into March! 20 books so far - some good, some not so good. Raven Black was a highlight for February, with Zelda being a disappointment. (sure would be nice if these touchstones would work!)

It's been a while since I updated. Some excellent books this year, some so-so. Found some new authors like Harry Connolly and Melvin Starr as well as some new books by old favorites (John Connolly, P.J. Parrish.
