I wish we had any kind of flowering! We’re still getting snow and 20 degrees at night.

The Pitoniak was very good, but freaky. The Bloom I had to stop reading- simply not in a place to read about a loved one with Alzheimer’s.

You had a great reading month in February. I will look for your thoughts on the Bloom and Pitoniak books. Hope your March turns nice. Are your daffodils out yet? We’re still doing a bit of skiing here!

In reply to Mamey Brown. I loved listening to Will Smith, just thought he would not be an easy person to live with. I adored The Bookish Life of Nina Hill. Also, The Starless Sea, but it has magical realism/fantasy element that might not work for you. You've got me thinking about a books about books post!

In reply to Laila. I wanted to listen to it so much because I love his voice, but none of the library systems I belong to had an audio copy. You reminded me to add Historical Corrections to my TBR- you're another person who loved it.

In reply to Susan. That's a wise approach! I'm trying to move away from reading 'goals', but it's like shopping for free- I see it, I want it so I request it and then feel like i have to read it. I need to work on that!

GREAT reading month! I too loved Born a Crime! I did also love WILL. I am also a big fan of books about books/book stores/libraries. Do you have any that you just LOVED??

Born a Crime is one of my favorites! I listened to the audiobook. It’s stellar.

The best book I read in February was a mystery by Jane Casey called After the Rain. But I also enjoyed Year of No Clutter and The Office of Historical Corrections.

For the month of February I stuck to reading mysteries with one romance thrown in by authors that I have read before many times. I slowed down and only finished 6 books. The good news is out of the six books I finished 1 was 5 stars, 4 were 4 stars, and one was just 3 stars. This year I want less volume/quantity, and more enjoyment out of the books that I read.
