A little after the beginning of January, I was exploring various book blogs and came across a blog where the writer was introducing the books that she was going to read for the month. The books were all laid out a and very artfully photographed. Aside from the very attractive picture, I was intrigued by the idea of actually saying these are th books that I am going to read this month!! See being an ADD kind of guy, I do kinda set out to read certain book, and then, well, I get distracted by another book and off I go and the books that I planned to read, go back to the library unread!!
So in an effort to change, I laid out five books to read in January and very unartfully photographed them! They are obviously at the top of this post. I coupled the novel idea of planning ahead, with the TBR Reading Challenge and chose three books that have been on my TBR pile for a long time. They are:
Strangled – Brian McGrory
The Monkey’s Raincoat – Robert Crais (Book 1 of Elvis Cole series)
Storm Front – Jim Butcher (Book 1 of the Dresden Files)
Reading Storm Front also serves the purpose of getting me started reading The Dresden Files series, which is something that I’ve been meaning to do!!
A goal of mine for 2015 is to get back to reading more Science Fiction a genre that I used to read a lot, but one that has splipped by the way over time…..Alastair Reynolds’ book Revelation Space seems like a good place to start!!
The final book is my current mystery read from the library. It is Don’t Talk to Strangers and is the third book in the Keye Street series written by Amanda Kyle Williams. I read the first two books in the series last year (2014) and after a somewhat slow start the series and the characters have grown on me!! You can read what I thought about the first to books here and here!
So far I have finished two of the books Strangled and The Monkey’s Raincoat. Both of these books are from my TBR pile, which actually makes a very little dent in my huge pile!! You can read my review of Strangled here and The Monkey’s Raincoat review will be up shortly!
So wish me luck as ADD Ed tries to be organized!!!
