NextRead Monthly Round-up: January 2010

A new feature for a new year. I’m not going to republish links to every post but most likely will list all Reviews, Book-o-sphere round-ups, In the mail and anything else that raised some interest in the month.

This month I had great responses to my Question posts. One led to the reinstating of the In the Mail feature. And the other seemed to put me in my place a bit.

Me and Harry of Temple Library Reviews have a ongoing challenge to read six books a month this year. Even though I have seven reviewed, I only read five starting with Turn Coat and ending with Horns, which I finished today. And I’m now reading The Bookman. I’m going to try and keep the sidebar updated with my current and next read choice. That’s really as far as I’m going to plan.

I’ve also started taking pics of new arrivals so I can keep track of what comes in and it makes it easier to find pics when posting reviews and updating the sidebars. So some of the covers might not look quite right as ARCS usually have different styles to hook a reviewer. I’m also posting them on my twitter feed.

What else? No interviews this month. I have a few ideas of who I want to feature but I prefer to read a book and then send questions. It makes it more thoughtful on both sides I hope. Anyone you want to see interviewed?

Oh, and I’m featuring a lot of Cover P0rn in the Book-o-sphere posts only because my fellow reviews seem to get there first. I’ll try and get there first in future.

Um I’m struggling now. I hope you’ve enjoyed the posts this month and I hope you like the ones in February.
