Strategic Streak. I think I can actually pull this off!

How’s your May reading coming along?

Bingo! This may be the first time I’ve ever read so strategically. -laugh- While I read more than five books in January, the rest didn’t fit any of the squares.

I’m ready for a new month! Bring on February’s BINGO board!

Oooh, wow. I haven’t done one of these posts in over a year. Let’s pick up where I left off. There’ve been so many books since we last chatted! ~CJ

The Sisters Grimm series proceeds with The Unusual Suspects. Since it’s such a long-runner, you’ll see more covers crop up in coming weeks.

I like to mix classics into my reading pile, especially if I haven’t read them since I was in elementary school myself. DId you know that The Indian in the Cupboard kicks off a series? I’ve been watching for & collecting the remaining titles whenever I’m out thrifting. And I very much enjoyed The Ravenmaster’s Secret: Escape from the Tower of London, both for the story and its setting. This historical adventure may be a bit gritty for sensitive readers (it kicks off with a hanging), but I liked that Woodruff didn’t romanticize the era. This ended up being one of my favorite bookish finds for 2018.
