January 25 | Currently Reading

The preliminary ballot for the 2015 Bram Stoker Awards was announced last week. If you haven't seen it yet, be sure to check it out.

This past weekend was my 5 year blogiversary. It's kind of hard to believe! This blog (and the book blogging community) has been through a lot of changes in the last 5 years.

Books Read Last Week



Savage Season (Hap and Leonard #1) by Joe R. Lansdale

OK, this was just plum fun. I'm not up to speed on my Lansdale so I'm just now venturing into Hap and Leonard. I, of course, have heard plenty about them and with the TV show coming up, I decided this might be a great diversion from the horrible reading slump I've been in.

Sometimes I make excellent choices.

8/10: Great Read


The Box Jumper by Lisa Mannetti

I just finished reading The Box Jumper. If I don't post my thoughts later this week, I will add them to my update next week.

Books Currently Reading


Medusa's Web by Tim Powers

Medusa's Web by Tim Powers

This is my first Tim Powers. So far it is trippy in a good way.

What about you? What are you reading this week? Be sure to let me know in the comments or leave me a link!

    Happy belated blogversary, the blogging community is very different I agree. It is great to come back to some blogs that are still here :-) Hope the reading slump is done.

      Thanks, Marce! The reading slump is finally lifting! I'm reading Shallow Graves and super interested in it.

    Happy 5 years. I am only 3 so not too aware of all the changes, but I do know there are so many book blogs out there.

      There really are a ton of blogs. Bloggers used to spend a lot more time getting to know each other. It was nice.

    Happy blogoversary! That's awesome. With so many new blogs it's nice to see some that have been around a while still going strong. I've only been around about 3 yrs but wish I would have started sooner...

      I wish I had started sooner, too. :) But I am glad to still be interested in what I'm doing.
