January was my first full month of book blogging
uninterrupted by holidays. I plan on
keeping up the pace of two or three reviews per month, and it will be a mix of
crime fiction with other good stories.
I tend to get into reading ruts, and right now I’m in a domestic
fiction/ chick lit rut. I need stories
with more than a character’s psychological arc right now, so I’m settling in
with more crime fiction. This will also
help me knock out some of the requirements for the Criminal Plots II Challenge ,
which I have yet to read for yet. I
will still review some new releases, but I’m also going to focus on backlist
titles in a quest to (a) clear some books from my shelves and (b) read/ catch
up on author’s previous works. What else? A few classics, to take care of another
challenge I’m doing. A few literary
fiction award winners or finalists, just to see what all the fuss is about. I find it hard to find literary fiction I
love, so from time to time I go on hiatus from reading it if I’ve read a bad or uninteresting run of them.
If you want a criminal-ish lit fic, I just read Gillespie & I by Jane Harris and adored it -- creepy, beautiful, conflicting -- great fun.
ReplyDeleteThat looks interesting, Audra: I'll check it out.
