First, a view from the Mackinac Bridge, taken by a friend. When it looks like this, that's a sure sign spring is on the way. I went outside today in just a sweatshirt - it was in the mid-40's here! I want to believe it is spring, but I know better.
So, in spite of the fact that I've been slacking on the reviews, I read seven book during the month of February. Much better than January and pretty good, given my mind set which was pretty bad:
10. Hinterland (Book Two of the Godslayer Chronicles) by James Clemens
9. Dog On It by Spencer Quinn
8. Dancing with Werewolves by Carole Nelson Douglas
7. The Professional by Robert B. Parker
6. Rough Weather by Robert B. Parker
5. Chasing a Blond Moon by Joseph Heywood
4. Kitty's House of Horrors by Carrie Vaughn
I loved, absolutely loved Hinterland and completely enjoyed Dog On It. I also bid a bittersweet farewell to Spenser and crew. Heywood writes incredibly complex stories that are quickly becoming favorites. I didn't care at all for Dancing with Werewolves - it was too disjointed, too incomplete for my tastes. And unfortunately, Carrie Vaughn seems determined to lose me as a reader. I'll give the next book a go because she's brought Cormac back but I am, frankly, tired of the gratuitous insults of my political beliefs. I cannot tell you how sad it will make me to stop reading her wonderful series.
So, how about the rest of you? Was February a good month?

As long as you're enjoying what you're reading, it's all good. And slow and steady gets more done, don't you think?

I can't remember if February was a good month or not. I think my book count was exaggerated because of children's books, so I felt like it was otherwise average. Hmm. Getting forgetful.
Love the photo from Mackinac Bridge. We didn't make it that far north during our Michigan year, so it's still on my wish list of places to go.

Let's not talk forgetful. My mind is a downright scary place at times.
And what's amazing about the photo is the amount of open water in March. My backyard is almost snow free. Crazy, crazy weather.
