February 2018 Wrap Up

Jen

I had a great reading month in February! This may not seem to be reflected by my ratings, but I’m happy with the amount that I read and I did finish a couple of series. More importantly, I read quite a lot of books from my physical TBR and managed not to buy a single book in February! I made great progress in reducing my physical TBR, which is probably my main focus right now.

Gathering Blue (The Giver #2) by Lois Lowry → 3/5

Messenger (#3) by Lois Lowry → 3.5/5

Son (#4) by Lois Lowry → 3/5

Splendour (Luxe #4) by Anna Godbersen → 2/5

Love, Hate and other Filters by Samira Ahmed → 3.5/5

Hello, Goodbye and Everything in Between by Jennifer E. Smith → 2/5

On The Fence by Kasie West → 4/5

Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys → 4.5/5

Spark Joy: An Illustrated Master Class on the Art of Organizing and Tidying Up by Marie Kondo (audiobook read by Lucy Scott) → 3/5

The Hating Game by Sally Thorne 4.5/5

This is more of a reading update than a wrap up. I didn't actually finish a book in February, but I did get some reading done, and quite a lot of it! Nope, not subtitles this time. I actually found a fanfiction that really intrigued me, but the sucker has a larger word count than A Game of Thrones! I've read about a third of it so far, and luckily for me, it's actually on Goodreads, so it'll still count in my Goodreads Challenge. It's called House of Cards by sugamins and I'm loving it. 

February 2018 TBR

Jen
This is the shortest month of the year and yet my TBR is still way too long because there’s so many books that I want to read and I can’t narrow it down! I’ve been feeling like February is the month for contemporary reads so there are a few stand alones that I’m hoping to get to. I’d also like to finish up or at least continue a couple of series that I started in January.

As I didn't get to the books I wanted to read last month, I really need to catch up! I also don't want to be overambitious, so this is still quite a short list.

Fruits Basket Collector's Editions by Natsuki Takaya - as many as I can fit into the month/as many as I'm in the mood for reading.
Unearthed by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner - I've heard a lot of good things about this book, so I want to get a start on it at least.
Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs - I read the first few chapters of this on the drive home from shopping, so I want to continue.
Harry Potter: A History of Magic by JK Rowling and the British Library (I have no idea how to credit this book! Lol.) - This is a February purchase, and I'm excited to get stuck into it!
