Books Won (3)

• Epub of Fallen by Lauren Kate from Louise @ Book Bliss
• The Turning by Francine Prose and Feedback by Robison Wells from Michelle @ The True Book Addict
• Y from Jennifer @ The Relentless Reader

Books I Gave Up On (4): 

• Jennifer Armintrout's Lightworld/Darkworld.  I felt very confused by the world...  I gave the series 85 pages and it just wasn't pulling me in at all.  I give up.
• Velveteen by Daniel Marks.  I gave it 100 pages and nothing was compelling me to read it.  I just think it's not my cup of tea.

Challenges Completed -- None yet, but I'm making great progress.

Comments -- A mixed bag this month.  I read a few great books and a DNF'd a few books.  I felt very schizophrenic this month.  But I am happy with my page counts and challenge slots. I knocked off quite a few books from my TBR list.  Onward to March!
