I've exceeded my audiobook expectations for January but am lagging in my print books. Maybe that's why I'm ready to start planning February.

I haven't been reading much this month. I'll probably be planning February last minute. I need to see how much catching up I can do first.
Well, it looks like I will be finishing my pile of books from the library that all came in at the same time! I am in the middle of Mexican Gothic right now and then I just have two more. Next up will be 
It's Murphy's Law that they all come in at the same time.

I'm also in que queue at the library. I've been for a while. I'm 11th for 7 books so I guess I'm not that far now.

"Female cicadas have been known to confuse the roar of power tools for mating calls, sometimes swarming people using lawn mowers." ~ The Linked Fact
"The "singing" of male cicadas is produced principally and in the majority of species using a special structure called a tymbal, a pair of which lies below each side of the anterior abdominal region. The structure is buckled by muscular action and being made of resilin unbuckled rapidly on muscle relaxation and the rapid action of muscles produces their characteristic sounds. "~Wikipedia

Man... all my reading plans have been falling apart lately. I wonder when I'll get back on track. I think I'll see what I'm able to able to finish this month, then slim down my expectations a bit before posting for April. I may take some time this summer to do some mood reading. Hopefully, that will help.
April is just around the corner and the first quarter of 2021 is over. Ack!Audiobooks:
Fool's Quest, buddy read, mm, series
A Single Swallow, monthly challenge
The Witch's Heart, themed read, new release
The Last Boyfriend, mm
Covet, tbr, mm (3rd month running)
Book/eBook:
Adulthood Rites, mm
Imago, mm
Tooth and Claw, mm
Goldengrove, tbr (3rd month running)
Toppler: tba
I'm not doing very well at clearing off my oldest books on my tbr.

There's a whole whack more on my list that any future challenge will be satisfied. :)
Next up on my list areThe Apothecary's Poison - I read the first book of the series to fulfill a challenge task and have found the series to be much good fun!

I very much enjoyed The Passage and The Twelve. Hope you do also.
I also enjoyed The Passage and The Twelve. Hope you enjoy them too, Christine. My reading also tends to slow down in the summer. Plus, it looks like things may be starting to open up a little here, so I may have some other things on the schedule moving forward.

I've made some changes already to my plan. Instead of Mythos: The Greek Myths Retold, I'll read A Good Girl's Guide to Murder for the group themed read.And, I'll read Judgement in Death for the slot opened in audiobooks. It's only May 2. Sheesh!

I'm hoping I will like The Mountains Sing as well. I might not get to We All Looked Up because I know have extra print books to read, and my reading speed has slowed. Listening speed has picked up. Maybe I spend more time listening than reading.

My May reading list isThe Night Fire
The Haunted Hotel: A Mystery of Modern Venice

Oh gosh... this month is going to get away from me, I know it. My mom is coming to visit for 10 days and I've been running around trying to get errands and things done before she gets here so we can just spend time together doing whatever we want while she's here. So, my loose plans for the month, that seem to keep changing are - May Plans:
The Shadow of the Wind (WM) - finish
Find Me (WM)
In an Instant (buddy, WM)
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (library, GCABC, WM)
Reviews:
The Newcomer
Seven Perfect Things
Sitting Murder (maybe, WM)
RL book club:
√ The Handmaid's Tale
May challenge: We're Going to Iziba
My island: Isla de la Juventud
Means 'Isle of Youth' in English - read a YA book
Book choice: Dumplin'?? (MPG: Young Adult)
or maybe Library of Souls
May theme: Title starting with M, A, or Y
√ A Good Girl's Guide to Murder (group read)
Malibu Rising (theme, review)
Kristie wrote: "Oh gosh... this month is going to get away from me, I know it.

I need to put it on my list soon.
Also I started Ballard of Songbirds and Snakes in audio. It has a lot of singing that didn't work for me in the audio format
