February's Plans and January's Outcomes

February is here along with the heat which gives me a perfect excuse to stretch out on the deck chair with a ice cold drink and a pile of books.

To be honest I'm not that fond of the heat.  We kind of have a hate-hate relationship where I'm a hot sweaty puddle on the floor.  Holidaying in Iceland seems very appealing at this time of year.

Getting cool is definitely my main objective this month along with the following...
 
1.     Blood lines by Angela Marsons
        You just knew I had to have a thriller and I've been loving the Kim Stone D.I. series so 
        this latest book was a pretty much a given.
  2.   The last girl by Joe Hart
        I just love reading a good apocalyptic novel so I have high hopes for this one.
        I'm always a bit wary about YA fantasy books mostly because so many of them tend 
        to throw in a love triangle, so I'm cautiously optimistic about this one.
 4.    We know it was you by Maggie Thrash
        A YA novel with a touch of mystery. 
5.     The best things in life are free: the ultimate money saving travel guide
        Travel and free.  I am so there. 
6.     Best of the simple things: taking time to live well
        Honestly it's just the cover that appeals to me.  I actually have no idea what its about.
7.     Natural solutions for cleaning and wellness by Halle Cotts
        I like the sound of this one  and am hoping that I get some good ideas.
8.     Traditional Nordic Knits
        My hunt for something to knit this year continues.
9.     Shop cats of New York
        Cats.  Do I really need to say anything else other than this book is so totally me.
 10. Victoria
       One of those shows that I have been meaning to watch for ages.  Now seems like the 
        perfect time to catch up. 
11.  Madam Secretary
        I've been looking for a new slightly trashy show to watch.  Cross fingers this is the one.
12.  Better Things
        I so love the poster for this show that I just have to watch it.
13.   Write more
        Don't say a word.  It will happen.  One day
14.   Knitting
        Still on the hunt.  I'm even contemplating knitting some socks.
15.   Lose weight and get fit.
         I've hit a bit of stumbling block with this at the moment. Blame it on all the stress eating. 
        The walking though is going well so there is at.
16.   Declutter
         A slow progress but still progress.  Who knew we had so much stuff.
