Most Anticipated: Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

Biggest Let Down: Firespell by Chloe Neill...not that is was a disappointment, but I was expecting more action and information throughout the book instead of the majority being lumped together at the end.

Highest rank: 5 butterflies

Lowest rank: 4 butterflies

Overall Reflection:Wow! What an amazing start to the year! 8 books down (my monthly goal is 4) and a brand new look (thanks to the lovely Parajunkee)! Not to mention hosting my first ever giveaway! A big thank you to all who participated and congratulations to the winners! :) To top it off, I met some of my reading goals for 2010 previously mentioned here. Said goals include finishing Rachel Caine's Weather Warden series, Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, and Firespell by Chloe Neill! Overall this has been an amazing month. I couldn't have asked for a better way to kickoff my new "reading" year! :D

    I have finished what is currently out of the Weather Warden series. Caine is currently working on the last book in the series (sigh), which will be coming out this year.

  8. Eight books in a month plus you enjoyed them all, I'd say that's a terrific month in reading.

    I really need to get the Weather Warden series soon. It sounds like a fantastic series.

  14. Awesome month chick. I have to read Rachel Caine... I keep telling myself that. Going to read Firespell at the end of the month, hope I like it. I really liked the Chicagoland series by Neill. I'm so glad everyone likes your layout.
