So, 8 for the month, which is HUGE for me. I guess my resolution to spend less time playing stupid games on my iPad is paying off! I have no yearly goal, but I think I would like to top the 30 that I read last year.
Sugar & Spice
I only read 5 this month which puts me behind already but oh well.
1. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot ***
2. Lover Unbound by J. R. Ward ****
3. Chose the Wrong Guy, Gave Him the Wrong Finger by Beth Harbison ***
4. Heartless by Sara Shepard ****
5. Takedown Twenty by Janet Evanovich ***
The Sound of Sleigh Bells by Cindy Woodsmall. It was a cute amish romance
The Infinite Moment of Us. I didn't like the ending but it was pretty good overall
Losing Hope
I listened to:
Little Women
Casual Vacancy
Nothing has really wowed me this year yet. I have been in a bit of a book funk. I need to pick up a good one that I don't want to put down so I can get ahead of my goal. I am 2 books behind right now.

I set my goal for this year low at 40 books, because I didn't meet my goal last year. January's 9 books puts me 6 ahead of pace. I may change my goal, but I'm leaving it for now, as I expect I'll be reading less come warmer weather.
