January has been a great month for reading for me, finishing 20 books so far. A few of them were short stories but I'm still pleased to be making a dent in my tbr. Progress on that will be in my next blog post later today! It's great to start the year enjoying my reading and catching up with series that I was way behind in. The plan is to just read what I feel like at the time to keep my good streak going until the next reading slump hits me! I hope it is WAY in the distance...

My books this week are a bit of a mixture and a few are from over a week ago and didn't get put on my last STS. I only actually got the zombie and Monster Haven ones this week. I've been good and not spent much at all since Christmas while I try to get more reading done. I'm feeling a bit smug about how good I've been...Anyway the two Monster Haven short stories are numbers 2.5 and 3.5 in the series. I read them both as soon as I got them and I really loved 'What Zoey doesn't know' because it is written in the POV of Maurice the Closet Monster. I love that guy so much! New Order and Low Midnight are additions to series I am following.

    I tried the first Vaughn book but never the others, I should. I didn't know the other books though I confess. I hope you'll enjoy them. Happy reading!

      I've only read the first one so far and that was years ago so I plan to read the whole lot back to back at some point in the next month or two. Looking forward to it now...

      I'm really enjoying my reading at the moment and I'd kind of lost that over the last 18 months. It was feeling more like a chore but now it is fun again!

    I cannot believe Gordon Ramsay's title to his book is Humble Pie. From watching Hell's Kitchen, humble is not a word I would use to describe. XD Thanks for visiting my blog.

      Yeah I thought that was pretty funny! It wouldn't have been my pick for a title, that's for sure!

    Nice haul, Chuckles! What Zoe Didn't Know looks really good, as does the Humble Pie by Gordon Ramsay :)
    I hope you'll enjoy all your new books!
    Have a great weekend and happy reading.

      I read Dire Straits and I really liked the characters so I just had to buy the next book in the series. Hope it turns out to be good!

    I need to read more Carrie Vaughn -- I've only read one of her books, but it was fun! Enjoy your new books.

      The first book in the series, Dire Straits took me a bit by surprise as I got right into it because of the characters and it was nice to find a good British urban fantasy!

    The zombie short story looks like it might be interesting! I hope it is and that you enjoy it along with these others. Thanks for stopping by my STS!

    The cover to New Order looks really good! I have to say, I can't imagine how Gordon Ramsey's books will be. He's so "enthusiastic" on his shows. Enjoy your haul and your zombies ;) Here's ours: BiblioJunkies Happy Reading! ~ Bel
