5. The Walking Dead, Vol. 10: What We Become
6. The Spirit Rebellion (The Legend of Eli Monpress)
7. To Kill A Warlock: Dulcie O'Neil Series
8. The Winter Rose
9. Amazon Ink
10. The Legend of Vysallimore
11. Triumff: Her Majesty's Hero (Angry Robot)
12. Full House (Full Series)
13. The Walking Dead Volume 11: Fear The Hunters
14. The Great Hunt (The Wheel of Time, Book 2)
15. The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms (Inheritance Series #1) by N. K. Jemisin
16. Can You Survive the Zombie Apocalypse?

And here are the books I hope to read in February:


The Spirit Eater (The Legend of Eli Monpress)

This is the third in a series that I've really been enjoying.  It'll be nice to be caught up with the series.  I got this one from the library.






The Mage in Black (Sabina Kane)

Another series that I started, I've got the third one (Green-Eyed Demon (Sabina Kane)) on my e-reader from Netgalley, so I've got to read this second one first.  I got this from the library.





The Dragon Reborn: Book Three of 'The Wheel of Time'

I really struggled through much of The Great Hunt, but I'm going to continue my project of getting caught up with this series this year.  This one came from my shelf, too, so it will help with my goal of reading from my shelves.





Divine Appointments: A Novel (A Snowglobe Connections Novel)


I got this one for review.  I'm honestly not extremely excited about it, but I'm hoping to be surprised.






Sing You Home: A Novel

I got an ARC of this one.  I used to love Jodi Picoult, but I haven't read a book of hers for years.  I might save this one for next month, but at the moment it's in my February pile.



Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble: The Jolie Wilkins Series, Book 1

I read To Kill A Warlock: Dulcie O'Neil Series last month, as planned, and thought it was a really fun read.  This is another one the author asked me to read and review, so I have a couple of reasons to read this one.  I've got in on my e-reader.





Alcatraz Versus The Shattered Lens

Just a series I'm trying to get caught up on.  I got this one from the library.






Flesh and Fire: Book One of The Vineart War

I'm reading this for the Reading Cove bookclub.  Most of the group reads aren't my thing at all, but for once there's one that's in my genre.  Hopefully I'll enjoy it.  I got this from the library.




The Thief-taker's Apprentice

An online friend sent me a copy of this one, and it's one I've been hoping to read, so I'm excited about getting to it.






Laney (The Brookehaven Vampires)

The same friend sent this one, saying she didn't like it, but had read a lot of positive reviews, so she was interested in a second opinion. 






Other than that I'm going to try to read a few books from my shelves (whatever grabs me) and hopefully get to some of the books I've downloaded from netgalley (I've got quite a few).

January Reading Plans

One of my big goals for 2011 is to read more books that I already own.  I counted the other day, and I've got 225 lovely little books just sitting on my shelves waiting for me to pick them up.  I'm hoping to reduce that number by at least 50 this year.

Here's my reading plan for January:

 Inside Out (Harlequin Teen)

I've already started this one, and although it started off a bit slow, I'm very interested to see where it goes now.  I got this one from the library.

 Outside In (Harlequin Teen)

This is the sequel to Inside Out.  I've got in waiting on my e-reader from Netgalley, so if the first one turns out well, I'll be reading on.

 Chosen - Lost Book - Circle Series, Book 1

I haven't had this one on my shelves as long as others.  I think I bought it in 2010, but it seems like it might be a quicker read, and with some of the doorstoppers I've got lined up, I need something a little shorter.

 Triumff: Her Majesty's Hero (Angry Robot)

I received this for review way too long ago for it to still be sitting on my shelf.  I'm putting on my ashamed face, and I'm going to get to it this month!

 The Winter Rose

I probably wouldn't be reading this except that it's a group pick at The Reading Cove, a reading group I've been a member of on and off for years.  I've never read this author, and I'm usually not into historicals, but I'll give it a go.  Got this from the library.

 The Spirit Rebellion (The Legend of Eli Monpress)

Another one of my goals this year is to catch up on the many, many series I've started and not finished.  This is one of them, and since the books were so recently published, I don't feel too far behind on reading them.  Plus, I really liked the first one.  I got this one from the library.

 Amazon Ink (Amazons, Book 1)

This is another one that hasn't been on my shelves as long as some others, but it sounds good, so I'm putting it on my list.

 The Great Hunt (The Wheel of Time, Book 2)

I've got the first 10 books in this series on my shelf, so this year I'm going to try to make my way through the series, maybe one each month.  I've already read the first one, and I'd love to get caught up.

 Eye For Eye / The Tunesmith (Tor Science Fiction Double, No 27)

This book has been on my shelf for quite some time.  I'm not sure if I'll read The Tunesmith or not.  At one point I wanted to read everything Card had written, so I've got most of his books on my shelves.  I'm not so gung-ho on the idea anymore, but I might as well read what I've got.

 The Sworn (The Fallen Kings Cycle)

I've got this on my e-reader from Netgalley.  I don't really think I'll get to it this month, but if I have time I will.  If not, it'll definitely be on the list for next month.

To Kill A Warlock: Dulcie O'Neil Series

The author of this one asked me to review it a bit ago, and I really need to get it read.  It looks really cute, and I've already got it loaded onto my e-reader waiting for me.








So, that's it.  Because of the length of some of these books I'm fully expecting to not complete all I would like to this month, but that doesn't mean I can't try.  Maybe I'll surprise myself.  I've also got about three or so reviews I need to write for books I've already read.  And because I probably won't get around to posting about it, I went to a Brandon Sanderson signing, or as a friend of mine says, I got my fangirl on.  I got The Way of Kings and the first Alcatraz book signed.  It was quite a long line (I waited for an hour and a half), but Brandon Sanderson is a very nice, friendly author and I think it's awesome how much time he spends signing books for fans, and still manages to get so many great books written.
