Damn, the week flew by. We’ve been getting some rain, which we still need so desperately that I’m not even going to complain about it.
I set my reading goal at 120 books this year, but it’s starting out pretty slow. I’m even a book ‘behind schedule’. Meh. Despite DNFing a couple books already, I’ve also read some great ones. So I’m happy with how the year is starting reading wise.
I recently saw that You by Caroline Kepnes is in development with Showtime! I’m so excited!

What I’m Listening To
Have a great week!
I scrolled down and I got a little jolt from PatD’s freeze frame on Youtube – creepy video!!! I like the song! Do I not listen to them enough or does their sound change alot? I remember liking the song Miss Jackson a while back, I just can’t tell if they’re top 40 or alt or does it matter?
YAY for rain! Keep growing those veggies for us!!
Have a great week!!
I love the video. It’s kind of hot, especially 1:55. lol. Yeah, I guess their sound evolves, but I like it all.
Oh my gosh, it’s so green around here from the rain, and there’s actually snow on the mountains. I’ll have to take some pictures.
I loved the creepy video and I should thank you for introducing me to Halestorm a few weeks ago. Have you heard of Evanescence? Try there fallen CD, track Going Under, it has a video that I think you would like 🙂
Halestorm rocks. I even love the cover of Girl Crush she did. I haven’t listened to Evanescence in a long time, but yeah, I like them too.
Yay for the rain! We have had rain here this week like crazy but better than snow so I’m happy with it. 🙂
That’s great you’re getting needed rain! We got a bit of snow near me but nothing too crazy and it was kind of warm today. We always have weird weather. haha
Yay for price drops on books! Hope your latest additions are good reads. And blah, that whole “book behind” thing on Goodreads is crazy. We book people have our ups and downs. Before you know it you’ll read like five books in a row super quick! haha

I’ve been checking out Skinwalker. What a wicked cover, eh?! My reading is going great. Knocking some books off my TBR, finally. LOL
Well that’s awesome about You. Now I’ll have to get showtime lol
The Dirty Secret looks good! I’ll have to check out your review when you read it.
Also, I need to read You before the show comes out now!
Happy reading, Christy!
I wish it was rain here instead of snow. But I am glad you got some if you guys needed it!! Very excited to hear that about You. Have a great week!
I have the secodn Faith Hunter to read, I’m a little late. Happy reading!
Glad I’m not the only one who blames everyone and everything for my book purchases! We’ve been getting rainy days too but as we have been having them for months I’m sure am complaining! So tired of getting wet!
I hate how Goodreads always tells you if you are behind or on target. There is still plenty of time to get things read this year. I have been looking at the Faith Hunter book but am trying to not add much more to my TBR pile right now. Have a great week!
I got my first DNF and 2 star of the year, but also lots of good ones. I always set my goal a bit on the low side on goodreads, so at least it doens’t tell me I am behind. For soem reaosn it’s so annoyign to have goodread sremind you you’re behind. I started the year with some novella’s, so I am a book or two ahead at the moment I think.
That’s good to hear you got some rain. I read Skinwalker years ago and enjoyed it, but never got around to continue the series, although I do think I own the next few books too. I hope you’ll have a great week!
We’ve had quite a bit of rain lately too, thank goodness. I’m out in the garden most days and trying to liven it up a bit. I blame Joy a lot for my book purchases too, especially when it comes to romance 😀 She can sell snow to Eskimos that woman. Have a fabulous week of reading Christy <3 <3
I know, right? She’s dangerous. 0
DNF-ing is okay, life is too short to get stuck with meh books. I don’t know if I’m on schedule with my goal though, I’l liking this freestylin’ thang and I’m actually not cramming for a change!
DNFing is totally acceptable. You need to read other books, and at some point say I gotta move on. Your new books look interesting.
oh at the beginning of the year I was starting off slower than I would have liked. But this past week I have really picked up my pace of reading. And now I am ahead which is awesome. I think its totally fine to DNF when you need to.
I’m also in a reading slump. I have only read two books since Dec. 23. It is killing me but I am just so apathetic to reading right now due to the regular school work problems, the issues with my yearbook staff and the yearbook itself, and now all the bullshit from my ex and the man’s ex. I just want to spend my time with Baby and the man every second I can. It’s getting difficult to maintain. Happy reading this week!
My reading has started off a bit slow too. Must be something about January… I’m just slacking on the reading. 🙂 It’s been snowy here rather than rainy, although we missed the big blizzard so I’m good with that.
120 books! I don’t know how many I read in a year (Goodreads could tell me I guess if I used it properly) LOL but I know it’s not that many! Good luck with your goal- you got lots of time! 🙂
Oh crap. I sure hope you’ll enjoy The Dirty Secret. I’ll be on tenterhooks… eeep!
Glad you’re getting some much needed rain. We got a bit of snow, but missed the blizzardy stuff.
I think I’m in the same reading mood as I’ve read some good ones, but also DNF’d a few, too. Oh well, moving on and hopefully keeping up with all the books I grab. I have a few people that tempt me to snag books. 🙂
Have a good week, Christy!
We had warm temps for the season, then 4-5 days of really cold (no snow), then 2-3 days of rain, then… blue sky, warm temps, spring is here ! I’m actually typing bathed in the sunlight and I think the heating is off, lol. I just added you on FB 😉 Have a great week !
*haha* You’re like me – pointing the finger at others when I one-click something. 😉 I’m glad you’ve read some good books to start off 2016, Christy. You’ll hit your goal, I’m sure. Yay for much needed rain. We’re in for some snow and I’m happy about that. 😀 Have a great week!
Brandee, I feel as if you’re talking about me in your comment above :O
Both your new books look amazing, Christy, and I hope you’ll enjoy them. I have a vague recollection of Skinwalker, not sure if I’ve read it or if I just own it, though… I’m so, so bad!
I’ve set my Goodreads challenge lower than last year, too, but I’m trying to not pay too much attention to it. Reading is supposed to be just for fun 🙂 And I don’t want to put any pressure on myself.
Have a wonderful week and happy reading.
I hope you get more and more of our rain. We are enjoying a bit of a break today, So far in the last two months we have gotten over twenty inches of rain, that is a butt load, we usually get 40 inches a year. I set my reading goal way down from 200 to 150 so I don’t feel so stressed and I hate it when it tells me I am behind. I am sure you will catch up.
I am collecting the Darynda Jones books so I can read them all in one go!
I’m fed up with rain here, we have loads coming this week apparently.
Have a good week and happy reading!
Ahh those price drops. They will get you. It’s started out a bit slow here too :/ Only reason I’m ahead is some novellas there at the start. lol Hope yall get tons of rain this week!
Yay, Panic at the Disco! Skinwalker looks really badass. Hope your week was awesome, Christy!
My reading goal is off to a slow start… I am a couple of books behind already… (Or make that 7)
Happy reading!! 😀
