Welcome to The Monthly Round-Up. Join me as I look back on the past month to see which books I’ve read, the reviews I’ve posted, the goals I’ve completed and my all important Book of the Month!
| Books Read |
February has flown by in a torrent of amazingly bloody, beautiful and brilliant books. I only managed a respectable eight but every single one of them was fantastic – I expect that there won’t be less than a four star review amongst them! I may have completely ignored my goals of the month but never mind! February was a blast. It also featured a book so good it required its own rating!
Here’s the run down of the books I devoured last month:
| 1. |
The Tiger and the Wolf by Adrian Tchaikovsky
| 2. |
The Palace Job by Patrick Weekes
| 3. |
Broken Banners by Mark Gelineau and Joe King

Promise of Blood by Brian McClellan

This is a great roundup! I’ve heard great things about the Promise of Blood, but haven’t got around to it. I’ll bump it up my TBR list. Congratulations on a busy productive February:).

Yeah, I haven’t read Promise of Blood – perhaps I need to make that one a priority then!
