Possibly vary your genres a bit more than you have?

You never know - sometimes I have to do that because you get a bit stale on reading the same sort of thing over and over:) I find it freshens my reading up:)

Challenges all done for Feb so I can choose to read anything! And I am choosing Sovereign by C.J. Sansom. Third in the series and 653 blissful pages long. Should keep me quiet:)

A.M. Johnson | 21 comments Pyramid of coins (The Judas Chronicles #6) by Aiden James...
An awesome series, it tells the story of Judas Escariot (Christ's betrayer), who is trying to get the coins he was paid with back...I am so into it, the first 5 kept me totally hooked and #6 is not showing any signs of letting me go....
I have just finished the first two books in Lisa Kessler's series Moon...Moonlight and Hunter's Moon..awesome series..paranormal, shifter, erotic..extremely hot..awesome read..

Jülie ☼♄  (jlie) | 6581 comments Just finished Eden by Candice Fox which I read straight after Hades by the same author. I gave them both 4*s and really liked her writing. Both books were gripping to the end and, taking into account that this is the author's debut, I thought she did a brilliant job.

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Not sure what I will choose next, I need something a bit different...as a prelude to the March/Autumn challenge.

Now onto a Danielle Steel for some light relief and no angst! It will be easy, which I think will be just right right now ;)
