February was a great reading month!

 

My top favorite for the month. Even better than the first! Adore Solovey!

 

Also loved Dumplin’, which had a great adaptation as well.

 

 

My new kid’s read. I didn’t like it as much as the one I read last year by the same author but it was still enjoyable!

 

 

Not at all impressed with our True Crime book read for Peter’s Book Club. DNFed halfway.

 

 

My graphic novel pick was adorable and reminded me of my relationship with my husband so much. I just wish there had been more!

 

 

My childhood read for the month. I loved it just as much as I remember!

 

 

 

I had a great reading month! What about you? What did you read in February?

Books in February 2017

For 2017, I have challenged myself to read 80 books. In February, I read seven and a half (I’ll explain).

New Favorite: A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

Least Liked: Roseblood by A.G. Howard (I actually DNFed it halfway)

Classic: The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald

Old Favorites (Re-Reads): Dark Angel by V.C. Andrews, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling.

When You Came Back was decent, I really liked Happily Ever After: Selection Stories, and the Jane Eyre graphic novel was okay.

Overall I had a great reading month though I regret pushing back one of my planned reads (The Wrath and the Dawn) to read Roseblood instead. Oh well.

 

My new favorite read for February.

My classic read for the month.

The Illustrated Chamber of Secrets was even better than the first.

My favorite book of all time. It was great re-reading it!

First book I have DNFed in a while. 😦

So what did you read in February and what were your favorites? How many books are you tackling for 2017?
