January's Reading Summary

Total number of books read: 8 -- Yikes, I better pick up the pace or I won't even come close to reaching 100 books this year.  Admittedly, I've been sidetracked with learning new dietary things and toying with my own writing. 

Monthly reading goals:

1. 1 new-to-me author each month -- Sloan Parker
2. 4 genres/sub-genres each month (I'm adding to that at least one book a month must be non-fiction and/or writing related.) -- Failed at reading a non-fiction this month despite trying a couple times, my head just wasn't having it. Fantasy (see #5), Science Fiction Romance (Lady Doctor Wyreby Joely Sue Burkhart), M/M Erotic Romantic Suspense (Breatheby Sloan Parker), Paranormal Romance (In the Darkest Nightby Patti O'Shea) -- yep, Romance a big theme this month but I got different sub-genres in there so it counts :)
3. 4 release years each month -- N/A
4. 1 book from glommed author (A glommed author is someone whose books you’ve bought a bunch of after reading one or two that you love.) -- N/A 
5. 1 book from unfinished pile till depleted -- Holly Lisle's Courage of Falcons
6. Alternate male and female authors (I will say at least one male author per month.) -- Failed at reading a male author in January (darn you George I'm calling you out for not getting your story to me this month J/K sorta)
7. Write a note to 1 author each month -- see #1
