February Wrap-Up (2019)

February is over. This was a pretty busy month, but I was able to read 11 books which kind of blows my mind. 

There was a holiday and some bad weather so my dance classes were cancelled. That may have helped me accomplish more reading. I also got a lot of house/apartment stuff done. Like stuff that's had to be done since Christmas. Getting all that done was pretty satisfying.

I also bought a lot of books-mostly from Goodwill and Thriftbooks so I didn't spend too much money. There will be a video and blog post later in March.

Here are the books I read/finished in February along with the ratings:

Etiquette & Espionage-4 Stars

Overnight Sensation-4 Stars 

The Bane Chronicles-4 Stars

Goose Girl-4 Stars (book), 5 Stars (audiobook)

This Shattered World-4 Stars

Mixtape-3 Stars

When Dimple Met Rishi-4 Stars

It's Getting Scot in Here-3 Stars

Always Never Yours-4 Stars

Devil's Daughter-4 Stars

Soul in Darkness-4 Stars

Thanks for reading!

February Wrap-Up (2018)

February was a weird month. I feel I like I was often busy, but I'm not sure I was as I look back.

I do know I was very tired. No matter how much I sleep I seem to be exhausted. I'm trying to figure out what is wrong with me, because this is getting annoying. I ended up napping a lot when I would have read.

Overall, I am happy with my reading though. I read some new-to-me authors and some different genres. I also made very good progress on my Winter TBR. Dragonfly in Amber still isn't done, but I'm chugging away and read it pretty consistently before going to bed.

How could I forget the Olympics? I don't have TV so my viewing is limited unfortunately. But I was able to see some. I'm now in love with the Curling and want Curling-related romances. And there were a lot of inspiring stories. 

Like there was an American women's speed skater (I think first African-American, too) who started in 2016. That's crazy! And it shows that you can accomplish what you set your mind to. Stories like that is one of the reason I'm an Olympics fan.

Maybe I should get back to books. Here are the books I read in February and their ratings:

Remembrance-4 Stars

Smut-3 Stars

Glitter Baby-4 Stars

Destiny's Surrender-3 Stars

The Scandalous, Dissolute, No-Good Mr. Wright-4 Stars

The Duke and I-3 Stars

Natural Law-3 Stars

Not Quite a Genius-3 Stars

Brooklynaire-5 Stars

Friends Divided-3 Stars

The Law of the Garbage Truck-3 Stars

Thanks for reading!

February Wrap-Up (2016)

The last few months have been weird, but February was especially weird. I don't know why, but I feel very unsettled. I'm hoping it's just cabin fever and I'm ready for the winter to be over.

I don't really believe in reading slumps, because I think that implies there's something wrong with not reading. And the second half of the month I didn't really read at all. It probably doesn't help that I've been working like crazy.

Honestly, I'm still not completely in a reading mood, but I've been trying to do some re-reads. I don't like to feel pressure when it comes to reading and re-reads help with that. I am happy with the books I've read and am definitely ok with a slower pace.

These are the books I read this month and their ratings.
