Ahhh. Hibernation was SO good, and having a month to be a part-time employee of my own business (ICYMI, Lone Star Literary Life), allowed me to get some primo reading done! The irony of my bookish world is that any more, I don't really get to read books for pure pleasure; there just isn't time. Here are the books I read while on my pseudo-time off. I posted the reviews on Goodreads, and if the book went on tour with Lone Star Book Blog Tours, I've provided the link if you're interested in other reviews, special features, or more book/author information.
