I had a good month, didn't read as much as I thought I might though. Enjoyed the books I read and that's what counts! This month I was delighted to be notified that I had been accepted to be part of the She Reads network of bloggers and so The Edge of Lost was my first book that I read, which was one of their winter recommendations. Can only say I really enjoyed it. 4.5 stars. Came in as my 2nd favourite read for the month.

ReplyDeleteYou've had a great reading month Kathryn. I enjoyed Edge of Lost. Flight of Dreams is next up for me. Thanks for hosting this meme!
ReplyDeleteThe Edge of Lost was really good! I have the Janice Lee book which I hope to get to soon.
ReplyDeleteQuality over quantity, and 14 is still awesome! I was proud to just read 10! I love when I have a good reading month - especially so many favorites this time. I hope it continues.
ReplyDeleteThis month both went by fast and lasted forever, because I well remember Wolfskin as your first read of the month- and that seems like forever ago! You had a great reading month, and I hope February is even better!
ReplyDeleteGreat month Kathryn, I've got Missing Pieces on my pile and I LOVED The Edge of Lost too!
ReplyDeletePlus I've got some great reads I'm adding to the pile, thanks!
Thank you so much for adding Lies and Other Acts of Love to your list. I so hope you enjoy it!! xo Kristy Harvey
ReplyDeleteGood month :)
ReplyDelete14 books is really great! A couple of those I have wishlisted.
ReplyDeleteHappy February!
I love how you look at the books you've read in so many ways. It's got me thinking about where I have "been" with my reading...here's to a good February.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you picked up a lot of new-to-you authors which is always great. Juliet Marillier is one of my favorite authors. I haven't read Wolfskin, but her Sevenwaters series is one of my favorite fantasy series ever. Hope you enjoy your February!
ReplyDeleteYou had a great month...mine was better than some months, too. Thanks for sharing...I like the way you categorized the books and showed us books you purchased and authors new to you.
ReplyDeleteLove this monthly recap. It's so user-friendly to read and bravo on some good reading! Looks like you are branching out into other genres more too. I am hoping to accomplish that this year. Here's to a great 2016!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting this monthly list. It's interesting to see the variety that others are reading.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations are becoming part of the She Reads Network!!! I got The Edge of Lost and am hoping to read it soon. I've already read The Gates of Evangeline - read it last year and loved it!!! I do see a bunch of other books on your list that I have sitting on my piles - love that we have similar reading tastes :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great February!!!
Fourteen is still a lot! I'm happy if I get five in. ;) Congrats on the She Reads Network! Thanks for hosting. Have a fantastic February!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic month for you. :)
ReplyDeleteI only managed to read two books. Fourteen books is wonderful.
ENJOY this week and this month of reading. I can't believe it is February already.
