I have some rather sad news today. My TMT co-host Brittersweet has decided to step up to bigger things, so I am left with this feature on my own. I hope she still drops by for a visit now and then. Having her to call co-host, in comments and blog posts, was a warm fuzzy for me and I will miss that.
TELL ME TUESDAY is a feature that oozed from the fried brains of myself and my best blogging buddy, after a mind twisting Armchair BEA Twitter party. It is a weekly, or bi-weekly feature (depending on your reading style), where you tell us what you are reading now, and why, and what you will be reading in the future from your tbr pile, and why. I am oh so curious why people read what they read!
Pili, from IN LOVE with HANDMADE is my faithful feature follower and I luff her so much!
Right now I am not reading anything. It seems I have spent every free moment drafting blog posts since the 2014 Top Ten blog hop started on the 22nd of December.
That was a relief.
I still had two more New Year posts sitting unfinished and tardy from last week. I was going to post them tomorrow, but decided it was more important to get a TMT up this week. So, the new plan is my top secret, top book of 2014 review will be on Thursday, and I am scraping the 2014 End of Year Book Survey everyone was doing.
So like Pili always advises, I'm going to shake it off.
What are you reading? Are you going to do any challenges?
I'm going to go have a cookie.
Growing this feature was on the top of my 2015 to do list, so I am going to continue to sail on by myself!
So here we go...

And right now I am also tired because of reading all the review books I needed to wrap up before the end of the year, too. I did get my big Ensnared review I had been working on posted yesterday.
That was a relief.

I can tell you I am almost certain the first book I will dive into will be Ruin and Rising. I have been waiting forever to read it.
One of my tweet peeps asked me for a fairytale retelling recommendation now that the Splintered trilogy has ended, and I chuckled because the only other book that touches that category that I have read is Wicked. We then started talking about all of the other fairytale retellings Maguire has done, and readers mixed feelings about his body of work, so I have decided to challenge myself to reading ALL of his retellings this year and doing a big author spotlight and review at the end of this year. I am going to dig out my copy of Wicked to re-read and start as soon as possible.
This conversation segued into reading challenges because someone is having a fairytale retelling challenge. I was only planning on doing the usual old Goodreads Challenge and MAYBE the Netgalley Challenge, but no others. However, if my Maguire readings fit the bill I might look into it. I will tell everyone what I decided to do in my The Sunday Post.
