January’s Bookation is here

summerreading1
I took my first Bookation last October. It was a wonderful and much needed break from reading review copies and putting fingers to keyboard in hopes of turning out words that vaguely resembled some form of a review. After barely cracking open a book in November due to traveling outside the US and playing catch up in December I really shouldn’t be taking a Bookation but I don’t believe in denying myself vacations or Bookations. I’ve decided to modify January’s Bookation just a bit so as not to get too far behind in clearing the bookcase of my remaining review books. Yep you read correctly my goal is to have the majority of my review books read by mid-February. In keeping with my goal of doing much more pleasure than review reading in 2010 January’s Bookation is a combo of pleasure and review reading. Several of the books sitting on the bookcase are review books that are the second or third in a series. As I’m more than bit obsessive about reading series in order I get pleasure of trying new authors, exploring new series and reading in my two favorite genres. Does a Bookation get much better? I think not. And I’m getting a head start on 2010′s reading. As it’s not possible for me to finish another book this year I’m starting one day early with Knight of Desire (All the King’s Men, book 1) by Margaret Mallory. Sexy historical romance. I’d say it’s a great way to start the new year.
