- this should prolly be @ #1 since i'm currently reading it *shrugs* and now it's done :)9.
*added R2R*Also! OMG....number 2 Storm Front is the Dresden Files and all of those series books are out (not my required reading for feb only, but I'm sure I'm gonna have to read them...can't just leave myself hanging!) And number 5 Feed already has it's book 2 out, think i may save that one for March though because!! All of the Evernight books are out (4 of them).
I will probably not get through the complete series' of the ones that are out, but the list is my MUST for feb and I can catch up on the rest of the books in each series as I go along. This list shouldn't be too hard to tackle. Good Luck to ME!!!
Mod
Awesome! I am looking forward to that series :) Waiting on getting them in is always the hardest part!!!
Okay so I diverted from my Feb list of books. I decided to finish a book that I quit reading a month ago annnnnddd I needed some steamy adult romance before I continued on with the rest of my list :) Here are the books:
Mod
Okay I also read another book that wasn't on the list :)
Okay starting my book list for March....these are all book 2 in series and not even including the March BOM!! Jeez
Finished all these!
Finally finished my Feb list!!! Now, off to read some of my other books before March starts....and for some reason I am not reading any of the books that I put in my previous post, I am reading:
Started my March list already and finished Claimed by Shadow. Ahead of the game! Now reading and reviewing

Okay, next to read will be Ink for the book review in my other group. It feels like I've been reading quite slow this month and I don't like it. Or...my books I've read are not all that exciting. Saving the best recommended for last, 50 Shades of Gray...OMG I can't wait to read that book!!! But first everything else on the list (unless I keep having to wait for some of them to show up!!)
Mod
That sounds fun, though I have never done a buddy read....we read it at the same time and discuss it right?
Mod
Yeah that sounds great! I will probably be starting it sometime next week. I'll pm you :)
Only five books left on my March book list! woot woot. next up is article 5, then odd hours, then 50 Shades!! I don't have destined or code name verity yet so hopefully they get here before the month is out!@Sheri...Do you want to start 50 Shades on Thursday night?
I think I am going to make April the month of sequels, so far I've slacked in March and I gotta make it up!Need at least...16.6 books a month to meet my 200 goal this year or 50 books every three months :)
Gonna read Iron Fey series this month!!!

My own challenge of April being the month of sequels :)
I like how you've kind of broken it up, made a smaller monthly goal. That's a good idea, good luck
Thank you everyone!! And breaking them up helps keep me on track, otherwise I'd never remember all the books I needed to read!
I just won a book from the Goodreads giveaway thingy!!! Delivery is 4-6 weeks, but I'm excited for it now, can't wait to read it!!!!
Mod

I'm reading the Toy Sorcerer right now!! Not bad :P
It's about a good witch who wants a girl, Alice, to help out a guy called Magog escape from the dream realms (place where people dream). And so far, it's about Alice's journey through it. It's pretty cool and unique. :D
it's been a while, like 2 weeks ago we were supposed to get the books. I dunno what's going on with it. Think I may msg Kay and see what's up. I am excited to read Toy Sorcerer as well. I've been on vacation this week and have not read a single page of anything!!!
Finished
I sadly only gave it two stars, despite the fact that it was a well thought out, perfectly well written book. I based my rating on how I enjoyed (or didn't so much enjoy) the book.
