Horns for book club, hopefully Revival unless I get to it in March, finish House of Cards with which I am struggling, and I'll have to think of a few more.
@ Ana - What is the Chimera trilogy? Do you have a book link?
Thanks, Ana! I'm planning on reading a whole bunch this weekend - I hope everyone else has fun, too!
Hi, so here are my plans for this month.First, I'll continue with:
Then, I'd like to read:
As usual, I might squeeze in the book for the Reading the Classics group when it will be chosen.
I seem to have misplaced my Nook so have been reading on my phone. I know it shouldn't make a difference, but I don't like it so tend to read a few minutes and then fins something else to do!
I have almost finished Revival, will start Horns and absolutely have to finish House of Cards. I really like it, but it's so densely political, it just makes me tired to read more than a few pages at a time.
I just finished Room. It is a great read, although a bit difficult at first since the narrator is a five year old. I'm getting ready to read Look Who's Back.

What I have read so far:
Fortunately, the Milk by Neil Gaiman 
The First (The Returned 0.5) by Jason Mott (my second audiobook experience)Should finish
Lake Of Sins: Secrets In Blood by L.S. O'Deasoon, today or tomorrow.
Then I plan to read:
Edge of End by Suren Hakobyan
The Bone Wall by D. Wallace Peach
Line of Descent by James Derry
Aftermath by Tom LewisMaybe I won't have time to read all those and maybe there will be changes but anyway, that's the plan.
I am so thrilled that I finished 2 of the books on the list I set for myself: Revival and Horns, but am still trudging through House of Cards. It's no fault of the book's, I just just need to read political books straight through and went through that period where I lost my Nook so set this aside. I WILL finish it though.I've also read Angel: Immortality For Dummies, The Door Into Summer, Bruiser, Doctor Who: The Blood Cell, The Bees and have almost finished The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating!
BTW, does anyone think Doctor Who: The Blood Cell counts as a dystopian? It's set in a bleak future, albeit a future in a different Universe on a different timeline than ours...

Dystopias are mostly characterized by warped politics which completely obliterate individual freedom. I have not read any Doctor Who books so not sure if that is the case.
Mod
Fortunately, the Milk by Neil Gaiman
The First by Jason Mott
Lake Of Sins: Secrets In Blood by L.S. O'Dea
Edge of End by Suren Hakobyan
The Sparrow by Jason Mott
Where (Excerpt) by Kit Reed
The Bone Wall by D. Wallace Peach
Line of Descent by James Derry
The Doll Maker by Richard MontanariIt may look like a lot but most were quite short. The Doll Maker was the longest at 496 pages.
I just created my first monthly wrap up post in my blog, so if you want to check out my reviews that is probably the quickest way since they're all linked there: https://anaslair.wordpress.com/2015/0...

I actually have about 25 pages left to finish the Troop, so didn't quite make it, but thanks!
Mod
0 books in April... That's an all time low for me...I'll take some holidays in May, hope I'll be able to compensate!
Mod
Shame... I am sure May will be great!

My intention is to start the month with Lake Of Sins: Secrets In Blood, the sequel to Lake Of Sins: Escape. Not sure about what I will read next. Maybe the Chimera trilogy I got from Netgalley.
