Mt TBR report: April 2015

Reading slowed to a crawl this month, thanks to an especially busy month (both personally and professionally). Even the read-a-thon didn’t save me. I’m a little disappointed not to have kept up the pace of the last few months, however that rate tends to be more exception than rule. It will be interesting to see how I fare over the next month.

Books read

22. City of Fae by Pippa DaCosta. Review forthcoming.

23. Malifaux: A Character-driven skirmish game by Wyrd Games. Pretty much what it says on the box. Skirmish games like Warhammer never appealed to me. However, Malifaux’s mix of steampunk and Southern gothic horror makes it pretty tempting. I very much enjoyed the short stories Wyrd Games have included between the different sections of rules.

Online Reading

The Best of Broken Resolutions by Pia Foxhall. A non-canon, standalone, alternate universe piece utilising Pia’s characters from The Court of Five Thrones. In this piece they are regular humans competing in the field of architecture. When the two firms come together to celebrate New Year’s Eve, the result is all kinds of broken resolutions. I confess it didn’t do a whole lot for me, but I found the concrete details (specific brands and places) an interesting mix with these almost-fantasy character. Gulvi also made me chuckle. As usual, a reminder that this is an original fantasy m/m erotica and not suitable for all audiences.

So, that’s it from me. What have you read this month?
