If you visit this blog regularly, you will have noticed that I have been MIA. Extremely MIA. I'm starting this post with a little bit of an apology, mostly for myself, but also for you. I have been ignoring Books and Balks. I had a whole month's worth of posts planned out for May and I didn't post even half of them. Why not? I really have no excuse. I could blame work or TV or anything but, really, I have no excuse.

With that being said, I'm going to try to do better. Try being the operative word there. I'm going to start trying right now with what this post is actually supposed to be about: a layout of my reading plans for the summer. Currently, I am super into thrillers, mysteries, everything of that sort. Erotic thrillers? Into it. Psychological thrillers? Into it. Straight-up murder mysteries? INTO IT. It's getting out of control.

So, for the summer, I'm not going to really be making any structured TBR lists or On My Radar posts. Consider this a blanket On My Radar for the next several months. I'm going to be reading a lot of thrillers. There will be other things, too, but, as far as the eye can see, thrillers are on the menu. Not just YA, not just adult, not just anything. If something catches my eye, I'm going to pick it up and read it. That's how this whole thing should work, right?

For a more specific look: I'm currently reading Cam Girl by Leah Raeder (now Elliot Finley Wake) and cannot put it down. On my up-next shelf are Don't You Cry by Mary Kubica, What She Knew by Gilly Macmillan, Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter, and The Outliers by Kimberly McCreight. Sounds good to me.

Anyways, I just wanted to get some kind of post up for you guys (and for myself, really) in order to feel like I haven't completely failed at this blogging thing. Look for a new group of reviews to go up soon (I mean it, promise).
