I've gotten a little irritated with blogger's....tantrums lets call it. It has some glitch with coding, or who it lets comment, etc. I have hosting for other hobbies of mine, so I've decided to get over my issues with Wordpress, and will sometime during the year I will move over to it. I need to root through my files and find some of the saved WP layouts I have, design one then will redirect and let y'all know.
I will get to formally writing my review policy. It just hasn't happened yet.
January is a month for book reads/read-alongs for me. I owned several that were chosen for various Shelfari group reads, so that's what I'm doing. I have no idea if I will review any of them. Maybe just quick short ones. We'll see.
February I'll be back to reading and reviewing what I have for review- still have a bunch from Library Things member giveaways. Boy those seem to come in droves when you get them. But I will get through them. I just probably won't be accepting books for review until I get some headway on them.
I'm thinking of doing a Renaissance Man type of challenge. The Dewey Decimal one doesn't sound like what I want. I was thinking of aiming for reading a certain number of books in different genres. Mostly because last year I let some things like history and classics slide from my reading list. Please let me know if something like this already exist.
If you want to see my 2012 challenges, there is a tag for that, in the sidebar.

I like your "finished" set of books! awaiting what you think of them.
Sounds like you enjoyed Cindervas much as I did :) The Kingmaking is on my tbr pile, I loved Helen Hollick's The Forever Queen & I Am The Chosen King.
Have a great week & happy reading :)
Sounds like you have had a busy week and have a busy month ahead. I love the fact that you have listed a wide mix of books. I do like the sound of Cinder although will probably wait until all the others in the series are out. Heard lots of good things about the Jonathan Safran Foer book.
Looks like you're getting ready to read some good ones!
Have a great week!

I like the cover for The Kingmaking, it's been on my TBR list for awhile! Hope you enjoy it :)
Happy New Year! My post reflects two weeks of reading. Please come see what I'm reading now.
I am moving farther and farther from accepting review copies -- even electronic ones.
I loved Cinder.
Here is mine
The Princes of Ireland and Cinder both sound very interesting. Hope you have a wonderful week of reading!
Here's my post
I just recently finished Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and thought that it was an absolutely amazing read but also exceptionally heart wrenching. Let me know what you think. I was thinking I might read Everything is Illuminated also by Jonathan Safran Foer as he is obviously an incredible writer.
Cinder is very popular these days. It seems to be getting favorable reviews too. I hope you enjoy all your new reads.
Thank you, I am. Cinder is a great retelling, and is not quite as clear cut a retelling as Ella Enchanted was.
Me too. I'm looking forward to book 2
Cinder was a really fun, modern update on Cinderella
Review copies really have a habit of multiplying when you aren't looking, don't they? Thanks for visiting.
I did enjoy The Kingmaking. But it was not like any Arthurian tale I've read so far.
Thank you, and Thanks for visiting!
The Lunar Series is supposed to be four books long, so might be a bit then. The Foer book does sound interesting, so hopefully it lives up to its reputation.
I really enjoyed Cinder. Practically preordered it right after finishing the sample Barnes and Nobles had available. The Kingmaking was excellent, putting Arthur in a point of history. I have The Forever Queen and I am the Chosen King also, so I probably will try to get to those this year as well.
Cinder and The Kingmaking were both very good. I'll probably post thoughts on The Kingmaking later in the month
I loved Cinder! I've been very happy since I changed over to wordpress, and haven't had any issues with it (my server that hosts my blog - that's another issue, but one that will hopefully be solved soon).
I've been seeing Cinder everywhere, I guess I will have to check it out
