Show And Tell; January

January has been a weird month for me personally and somehow it sneaked up and scrambled with my reading mojo. It’s like I’m swallowed whole by my TBR pile as it has so much of the good stuff on it and I want to read everything. Whether it is my attention that is scattered all over the place or just too much to do in one day I have got no clue but I want my mojo back. You think if I put out an ABP it will be found again? So my monthly show and tell is going to be short, I’ve read and reviewed 5 books *sigh*

ROOB ARC Jennifer Estep – SPIDER’S BITE

Courtney Milan – PROOF BY SEDUCTION

Erica Hayes – SHADOWFAE

Lora Leigh – AIDEN’S CHARITY

Tina Donahue – DEEP, DARK, DELICIOUS.

There were two books that really made my January month and those were SPIDER’S BITE and SHADOWFAE. Both hold such different UF vibes, protagonists and supporting cast that I opened the book and was lost in a different world. Loved them both for it. If there is one thing I need to do right now is first read and then do everything else that comes with it and I’ve got a few top-notch reads coming to me in February that will get the job done, hopefully :)

I have a ROOB ARC of Shayla Black – DELICIOUS waiting on my e-reader.

I have Erica Hayes’ ARC of SHADOWGLASS on my shelves waiting to be read this month too :)

I have received Lora Leigh’s – NAUTI DECEPTIONS, Rogue piqued my interest from the first moment I met her and can’t wait to read her story.

February is also the release of Nalini Singh’s Archangel’s Kiss, Singh always delivers for me and can’t wait to meet Raphael again!

And if there is one debut novel I am looking forward to then it is L.J. McDonald’s BATTLE SYLPH. She gives me a C.L. Wilson vibe all over again.

These are the releases/ARC’s I remember at the moment but of course my TBR pile has much of the good stuff too, like the series of Meljean Brook or Larissa Ione, Stephanie Tyler’s HARD TO HOLD – TOO HOT TO HOLD & HOLD ON TIGHT, or how about Joss Ware with BEYOND THE NIGHT, Jill Myles with GENTLEMEN PREFER SUCCUBI. I could go on for ages what is on my TBR pile, like any of you out there I guess. So I’m going to let my reading preference go wild and see where it takes me in February!

Last but not least for this month’s Show And Tell I’m going to give you a peek in my mailbox and what has arrived in it:
