February was pretty slow for me reading-wise.  I worked a LOT in February, which made fitting in reading less of a priority.  I have a BUNCH on the docket for March, though…so hold onto your hats for next months post.

Anyhoozles…here’s my (light) list for February.

Some may interest you, some may not. I hope it gives you at least a few ideas!!

Onto the post:

What I Read

 Camp So-and-So

One day a few weeks ago I saw this book somewhere…I don’t remember where or what made me think I would like it, or even what compelled me to put it on hold at the library. When it arrived, I almost sent it back without reading it because it didn’t seem like my kind of book. I’m not a horror reader…but instead I began reading.

The first chapter had me hooked in a “I have no idea what I’m reading, but I can’t stop” sort of way.  This book had me guessing, and second guessing, every step of the way.  You might be able to classify it as a campy sort of horror. People do die now and then…and the kids are trapped in a camp in the middle of nowhere…and there is magic…and beasts…and…so much more.

I gobbled this one up like there was no tomorrow, reading about 300 of the pages in one fell swoop at work one day.  In some ways I’m still questioning what happened…in others, I’m just glad I read it.

This one reminded me that it’s good to take risks and step outside my comfort zone sometimes. It doesn’t always pay off…but when it does…it really does.

 

Betrothed

*I received a copy of this book via netgalley. All opinions are my own*

This was a quick, fun…if slightly predictable graphic novel.

The action was good…the scene in the lab was…well, it was what made it predictable and cheesy…and the side effect of that event was.  The more I think about it, the less I actually think I liked this.

It was predictable. The fact that them having sex made this electric shield of sorts form was just *yawn*.

I think I liked the side characters a lot more than the main ones.  Their friends, while also pretty cookie-cutter, were cute and added some fun life to the story.

 

Timo the Adventurer

*I received a copy of this book via netgalley. All opinions are my own*

How adorable was this? A boy who grows up in a small valley town with no in or out, lives his life through the adventure of reading. He lives many lives in his short life…but then one day, his greatest fear that he’s anticipated eagerly comes true…he finishes the LAST book in the entire town! There’s no more for him to read. He’s all set to go out on his own adventure, but his parents stop him…reminding him he is young and should wait.  He acquiesces…of course, as most great adventurer’s do, he does so only to set off anyway.

The adventure leads him beyond the land he’s always known, and he meets all sorts of creatures.  This graphic novel has the added bonus of ‘journal entries’ made by Timo about the creatures he meets and adventures he has.

It ends on a cliffhanger…which is so much fun until I realize that I have no idea when I can get my hands on the next one!

 

 

 

What I’m Reading Now

  Conspiracy of Ravens

Okay, this has been on this list for a while.  I actually returned it to the library recently, only to take it out again last week at the same time as Camp So-and-So.  I’ve since devoured the other…and hope to do the same to this during my time off these next few weeks.

Fingers crossed I do, because this has been on my list WAY too long.

Like, seriously. Books 3 and 4 have BOTH already been released.

Seriously.

 

   Second Grave on the Left

I’m halfway through this now.  I don’t know why I’m reading it so much slower than book 1…but I’m trying.

So yeah…still on the list (sorry).

I promise, I’ll be adding something new here in a minute…really…

Maybe…

I think? 😉

 

  The Wedding Guest

I’ve gotten a start on this at least.  Not super far in yet…but hopefully it turns out to be as quick a read as I remember the Alex Deleware books being.

I’ve always liked him in the past, but stopped reading for a while.

So, I’m gonna give it the old college try again.

Who knows? I may find myself hooked on them again.

Maybe.

Perhaps.

 

Assorted Graphic novels

No pictures for these.  I have about 20 graphic novels from about 3 different series on hold at the library.  I’ll fill you in as I get to and through them.  Shouldn’t take long. 😀

I’m so glad I’m on a reading kick again. I have a LOT to catch up on.  So stick around…more updates coming soon!
