100 Book Reading Challenge: February

Another month has gone by, and last month's winner was announced yesterday. How's your reading going? I managed to read 9 books last month, so I'm pretty happy.

This month, I've got two books to give away.

ARC of Cloaked by Alex Flinn
Johnny’s not your average hero. But a little magic changes everything. There isn’t a fairy godmother or any of that. It all starts with a curse. And a frognapping. And one hot-looking princess. And before Johnny knows it, he is on a mission in the Everglades, with only a flock of swans and a talking fox named Joe to help guide him against the forces of an evil witch.

Paperback of Magic Lost, Trouble Found by Lisa Shearin
My name is Raine Benares. I'm a seeker. The people who hire me are usually happy when I find things. But some things are better left unfound. I'm a sorceress of moderate powers, from an extended family of smugglers and thieves. With a mix of street smarts and magic spells, I can usually take care of myself. But when my friend Quentin, a not-quite-reformed thief, steals an amulet from the home of a powerful necromancer, I find myself wrapped up in more trouble than I care for. I like attention as much as the next girl, but having an army of militant goblins hunting me down is not my idea of a good time. The amulet they're after holds limitless power, derived from an ancient, soul-stealing stone. And when I take possession of the item, it takes possession of me. Now my moderate powers are increasing beyond anything I can imagine-but is the résumé enhancement worth my soul?

Lisa Shearin's series isn't specifically YA, but it's definitely a good cross-over. Plus, it's chock full of fun.

Must have missed the January post, oh well, new month. I managed 8 in January.

BK Mattingly said...

I only managed 3, but for me that's not too shabby :)

Tabitha said...

Sherri - pardon my silly rhyme, but eight is great! (sorry, couldn't resist) :)

Bethany - three is fantastic. Some folks can barely manage one. :)

I read 4 last month. Would've done more but I have some writing/editing challenge I need to push through.
This month I want to take my chance at the giveaway.

Sarah said...

Yay! I posted about this today, too. I read eleven books in January. (Do books you're reading a second time count? If not, only ten.)

I have a couple of reviews stored for February, I kind of feel like I should have waited to enter ;)

I have one question: is this challenge open internationally? I had read about it back in January, but 100 seemed so very many I thought I woudn't try. Then again, I read 7 in January, so maybe it's possible... May I join?

Wow, lots of book giveaways over here! I read a lot in January since I was on vacation. It think this year I've already finished 12 books!
