Happy February, friends! January passed in a blur. Outside of reading, absolutely nothing noteworthy happened in my life. I went to bed before midnight on New Year’s Eve for the first time since I was a child. I can’t tell you what I did most weekends–a couple of hikes? I don’t mind not having plans, but sometimes it leaves me feeling a little unmoored when I don’t have anything specific to look forward to.
I have to look back at my phone pictures to figure it out! It’s a good thing I keep a list of books I’ve finished, because I feel like half of these I read months ago.
Not a bad start to the year, coming in at 21 books! I didn’t get through quite as many ARCs as I meant to. There are a ton of new releases in February that I want to finish reviews for before their pub dates, so I’m feeling a little rushed to get everything done. I’m also doing my very first book tour next Monday for Orca by Mariette Whitcomb. Be sure to tune in!

I’m a little behind on reviews, but I’ll be posting the ones I’m missing in the next few days.
I also decided to do a bracket this year to help me pick my favorite book of the year. This month’s favorite read was Dear Edward! When I have time, I’ll make a cool graphic to add to each monthly wrap up as I go.
How was your month? Did you meet your reading goals?
Oooh I read the Marriage Pact in January too! What a strange book. Good, but strange. Definitely hated the ending, but the overall concept of the story was really interesting.
I might have to add some of these other books to my list of books to read! 🙂
I had the exact same thoughts! Loved the concept, hated the ending. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
