February Book Update

I made the goal to read 30 books this year.

I know, I know, it doesn’t sound like a lot, but I’m pulling a Scotty here and aiming low so I’ll be oh so impressed with myself when I read more than that.

February turned out to be a good reading month, despite being at conferences for almost two week.

Here’s the list of books I either read or listened to in February!

Clean RomCom
Super cute book! Ben is about as adorable as they come. If you haven’t met the Wonder Boys yet, I suggest you dive in!

Military Science Fiction
Yes, the cover is kind of awful, but the book was fun! Great characters, good underdog story. Also, plenty of humor. (Some if it adult, just to warn you)
I listened to this one

Clean RomCom
The plot and characters for this book were great, but what really shined was the way the author told the story. I loved the voice of the characters. I LOL-ed a bunch of times!

Alternate History Sci-Fi
I read this one for the Whitney Awards, and was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it! Super powers (gifts), a woman disguised as a man in the army going after Napoleon, and an unexpected bit of romance that really worked.
(This one has very little language and sexual content, if that’s something you prefer)

January Book Update

Tags : amreading

I made the goal to read 30 books this year.

I know, I know, it doesn’t sound like a lot, but I’m pulling a Scotty here and aiming low so I’ll be oh so impressed with myself when I read more than that.

January was a good reading month, but part of that is because I started several of these books in December and didn’t finish until this year.

Here’s the list of books I either read or listened to in January!

Adult Sci-Fi
This AI novella is a quick read. Loved the voice of the character.

Apocalyptic (Nuclear Strike) Fiction
I’m listening to this series, and if you love apocalyptic tropes and lots of tension, these books are for you.

Apocalyptic (Nuclear Strike) Fiction
Did I mention these are pretty short? After book 3 I’m taking a break. I am getting more and more attached to some of these characters.

Sweet RomCom
Hilarious book! He’s grumpy and she’s sunshine. Loads of Christmas fun. If you’re a fan of the genre, read this one!

Adult Military Sci-Fi
Slow start, which isn’t unusual for sci-fi, but once it got going I didn’t want to put it down. Great characters. Besides some dark themes, which work for the story, this book is relatively clean, if that’s something you’re looking for.

YA Fantasy
Delightful story. Awesome characters. Cool magic and lore (taken from European roots) and just the right amount of romance.

The Books I Read in 2022

Tags : amreading

My original goal was to read 25 books in 2022.

I ended up reading, or listening, to 48 books!

I think I’ll up my goal from 25 to 30 for 2023. I’d love to say I’ll have time to get to 50, but in 2022 I had back surgery and was down a lot more than usual. I know that contributed to the total count.

My hope is no more surgeries (crossing fingers).

What are your goals for 2023?
