Welcome to Litsy!

February wrap up!! Finally tried Canva for making this instead of just using LiveCollage. Looking forward to getting started on March reading!

February reads a v scruffy list 😆& a bingo 🙌🏻 favourite books 📚 of the month - the husbands super cute escapism, scarred book2 never after a spicy 🌶️ retelling, the family circle #persephonebookclub loved 🥰 it favourite book of the month, part of the furniture an oldie & a goodie 2nd fav of the month, talking at night starts great 👍 becomes blah 😑 finished rivals good but not as good as tv show, before the coffeegets cold couldn‘t connect

February 25 wrap up
I‘ve been on a roll, carrying my momentum from January into February. The entire bottom line (minus the first: Supercommunicators) were graphic novels/photo book, a format I‘m loving these days.
Second row: the only fiction titles!

I have a feeling that I‘ll do better in March, but February wasn‘t too bad of a reading month. My biggest success was finishing Anna Karenina for the #KareninaWinter buddy read. Better late than never! #chunkster 😅
(March 2, 2025)

February Reads: You would think with how the weather was this month I would have read more. 7 enjoyable books. I would say my real favorite would be My Darling Boy, and my least favorite was House of Glass.

My #bookspin list for February! I wrote this in the dark by the glow of the TV so I‘m pleased that it‘s as legible as it is. Really trying to focus on the books that I can‘t wait to read instead of putting books that maybe aren‘t catching my interest now but that I really should read. January has gone well so here‘s hoping February continues! Mix of book club books, library books, #roll100 books and things from my shelves. @TheAromaofBooks

My February ‘25 #bookspin list!

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 #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💗

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 ❤

According to my #bulletjournal 2018 has been a great year for books so far! I've racked up 7 for my #ReadHarder challenge, 3 for my #Booked2018 challenge, and just 1 for #LitWorld2018GB (but that will change). Bring me more books!! 📚
