From here, I just start reading. There's honestly no rhyme or reason. I do split my books into two bins - An A List and B List, if you will. I tend to pull from the A List, but every once in awhile I'll have the urge to read something from B.
If you see something you loved that I should fast-track, let me know. And of course, stay tuned for all my reviews on these soon-ish.
If you need me, I'll probably be reading.
