Welcome to Litsy!

My recap of my reading in February. I finished 19 books! Included are my buddy reads for #SundayBuddyRead #Pemberlittens #JaneAdjacent #SheSaid #NancyDrewBR #ChildrensClassicRead2024 #Roll100 (all 3), #SeasonalCozies an #AuldLangSpine book & several #SeriesLove2024 books.

No bad books-I enjoyed it all & favorites were The Huntress, Hidden Pictures, You Are Your Best Thing, The Boy Who Cried Bear, Dangerous Alliance & the Lady Holmes series.📚🩵

So February has been a very productive reading month for me. I have surpassed the number that I read in February last year and based on what I am planning on reading next, I could possibly have 2 or 3 more books completed by the end of the month. #februaryreads #bookspinbingo

It‘s taken me a bit to settle on my February TBR & since I‘m a moody reader, who knows what will stick beyond the buddyreads/challenges I‘m joining: #SundayBuddyRead #Pemberlittens #JaneAdjacent #SheSaid #NancyDrewBR #ChildrensClassicRead2024 #TravelingStars #SeasonalCozies #Roll100 #AuldLangSpine & SeriesLove2024

Others are library, ARCs & Kindle. Likely won‘t get to all & there‘s some #readalongs I just couldn‘t fit in🥺but I feel pretty good.

Kind of a lazy February #BookSpin list 🩷🩷🩷

I don‘t usually make monthly TBRs but these are Netgalley ARCs that I have to read and these TBR pages will be great to use for my Netgalley ARCs. The only one that isn‘t an ARC is the collection of short stories with Sherlock Holmes. I read the first short story in the short story collection last month and I‘ll be reading the second one this month for the #NoPlaceLikeHolmes readalong. I‘m taking my time with Sherlock Holmes.

January was kind of an overall crappy month for me… here is hoping February is better!! #luckyinlove @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs

February #bookspin … so much great potential reading here, including some more #auldlangspine titles and a backlog from #TheBookDrop!

My February #bookspin list - how am I already toting a “backlog” and we‘re just one month into the year?! #goodproblems 📚📚📚 I‘m quite certain I‘m not alone here. 🤣

February is finally on the horizon ♥️👀😂🙃😅

February #MonthInReview
I felt like my brain was extra scattered this past month and had trouble sticking to books but I still managed to finish 17 books. I just have 8 more in various states of completion 😅 So still a good month of reading and some great picks 🙂

February wrap up!

#February2023 #BookSpinBingo

I read 13 books in February and I got 1 Bingo.

I finished a whopping 6 books this month and that‘s only because I forgot there were new I Hate Fairyland issues and had a mini-binge over the weekend. I bailed on so much, but I‘ve also focused more on doing other things - some creative projects and classes. #februarystats #februarywrapup

OK, so we are 5 days in, but here is my February TBR. I won‘t read this many books & as always, it‘s subject to change to my mood, but I think I‘ll get through the first couple of rows including the books from #SundayBuddyRead #Pemberlittens #DiverseCozy #SeriesLove2023 #FoodandLit and #IndependentWomen buddy reads.

Something a little different this month… a month full of quotes!! #InQuotes @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs

TBR for February in the event I get stuck: 2 books carried over from January, a March NetGalley release, the next #goldenagecrimeclub selection, the books to catch up to the March selection, a few library books, my local bookstore‘s February book club pick, and most importantly, the reminder that my primary goals are to dive into a chunkster from my shelves and read more mysteries/crime novels in translation.

I‘m excited to keep reading in February, this year has started good on the reading front ❤️#bookspin

Heads up! February is 5 days away💞💞

This month is just a tad different: the challenge is to submit a quote that corresponds to the daily prompt! Don‘t you love quotes ?? Especially those that inspire or surprise or hit you in your soul…

Thanks to everyone who played in January and we look forward to seeing your wonderful posts💗

My February #bookspin ! #doublespin #bookspinbingo

Same list, but#5 is hoodfeminism #bookspin

My #bookspin list for February. I'm going to try to read just from my owned books this month. Slowly 🐌 bringing my number of unread owned books to a reasonable number. (At about 700 at the moment. It's gonna take a minute or two...)

Excited for what February brings for #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin 🤓

My February TBR for my #bookspinbingo card. Thank you so much for the idea, @TheAromaofBooks

It‘s a mix of audio, 22 of ‘22 picks, my book club choice, a couple of options for my memoirs around the world challenge, and some other fun titles. Can‘t wait to see what gets picked for #bookspin and #doublespin!

February?! #bookspin & #doublespin list. Let‘s do this! 🤘🏼

Here‘s my February #bookspinbingo list! This may be the earliest I‘ve ever had a list finished and posted! 😂

#WindsOfMarch Day 3 FEBRUARY STATS

Day 1 - #FebruaryTBR #FebruaryFeels

I hope to read all these books in February.

My very very very belated February reads round up ⤵️

Total: eight (8) books
Not pictured: Unexpected Stories by Octavia Butler, Akata Witch & Akata Warrior by Nnedi Okorafor (all #ebooks on #Kindle)
Favorites: The Broken Earth trilogy (!!!!!!!!!) & The Hate U Give

#ReadBlackWomen #ReadBlackAuthors #LLreads2019

In February I read nine books. Break the Bodied, Haunt the Bones by Micah Dean Hicks and The English Wife by Lauren Willig were my favorites. Cujo was my least favorite. I loved the poor dog, hated the people 🐶

My #FebruaryReads consisted of 7 titles. Confederacy was full audio audiobook. Falcon was read and listened to simultaneously. The rest were combination of ebook and print. My favorite was probably The President's Shadow, and my least favorite The Maltese Falcon.

Nowhere near as many books as in January however I loved a lot more of these. I especially loved listening to The Order of the Phoenix. Jim Dale did an excellent job narrating. I unfortunately felt nothing for the characters in Nothing Personal. And decided to move on to greener pastures.

I hope you had a fabulous February. What were some of your favorite reads?

My February Reading Plans!

Happy February! Did you know, before the current Julian calendar was used February was the only month that had an even number of days. I read that somewhere a while back. Just another reason to read more. You learn lots of useful (unuseful) things!💜📖

Day 1 - #februarytbr #literarylove

These are my February 2019 to-be-read books!

February stats: 12 books / 2952 pages read, not bad! 📚📚📚
Iron Gold and Wishful Drinking were my favorites ❤

I have a tiny bit of a reading slump mid-February, which has resulted in several books started and stopped. I‘m better now and plan to finish the titles, as some are for challenges. But, I did not complete as many in February as I had hoped. If February only had a few more days...

I was in a reading rut for most of February, so I'm kind of surprised that I even got six books read. Surprisingly I didn't read any romance books for the month of February, although I sorta intended to...oh well. 😂
