February was a false start in my return to blogging. March 1 being a Monday is satisfying, so here’s to trying again. Can I write two posts/week this month? Time will tell.
Books Finished
- Frying Plantain by Zalika Reid-Benta (read with Dad for Family Reads)
- The Warlow Experiment by Alix Nathan (literary fiction)
- Take Back the Block by Chrystal D. Giles (frontlist MG)
- A Place at the Table by Saadia Faruqi and Lauren Shovan (frontlist MG)
- All You Knead is Love by Tanya Guerrero (ARC)

How was your February? What new books, or bookish events, are you looking forward to this month?
I’m so excited about your birthday gifts and they’re not even mine! 😀
Haha thank you, glad I can share the joy! 😛 After rereading Nevermoor in December I thought I should really ask for my own copies… the Garth book is very nicely designed as well.
You can do anything that you set your mind to! Happy March!
Thanks for the encouragement! 🙂
I am so excited for The Mirror Season as well. I hope you have a good March!
Good luck getting back into blogging this month! I’ve been feeling a bit slumpy myself this month, but I’m hoping to get my enthusiasm back by reading a historical romance as a break from my heavier reading 🙂
Thank-you! Not much luck on the blogging front apparently, haha, but I am working on a review now. Hope you are having better luck with your reading 🙂
Glad you still got some good reading in even if you didn’t blog much! Hope the job is going well!
Thank-you! Job is way more stressful than I thought it would be, haha. But better than no job, at least.
