Today, I‘m sharing the books I read in February and the movies I watched. In February, I decided to start watching movies on Friday nights again because I like watching movies but I don‘t watch them very often. I didn‘t like the first book I read this month. I bailed on 2 books because they weren‘t for me but I liked the other books I read and I liked the movies I watched. I feel like I chose some good movies to watch.

February was a very up and down month, especially the second half of it.

Read 19 books but went from 399 pages a day in January to 250 in February, that‘s a big difference!

Six books finished this month. Two more places for #ReadingTheAmericas2023 🌎

Favorites of the month:
Tress of the Emerald Sea & Bands of Mourning - Brandon Sanderson

I read so many great books this month! It was next to impossible to pick a favorite 😬 and that's not a bad problem to have!

On the opposite note...not pictured is Of Feathers and Thorns and that book was so awful I guess I forgot to add it to the template.

Back from vacation, unfortunately. Hoping ill be able to get through a couple of books this month but there isn't much time left—about halfway through Touch of Darkness.

Bookspin - #10 - Netgalley
Double - #20 - King of Battle & Blood

Ridiculous start to #fabulousfebruary with six hours of pediatrician (kiddo‘s raging ear infection is now a raging DOUBLE ear infection) and trying to find a pharmacy to fill the new antibiotics prescription and then have the dr change the prescription because nobody can get the other one…but during the #readathon I hope to finish Dear Martin, catch up on Middlemarch, keep up with Plato at the Googleplex, and read one other book. 🤞🏻

Repost for @Andrew65

Today is the start of the #FabulousFebruary 9 day Pick Your Own Goals Readathon. From this month I‘ve brought it forward a week so as not to clash with the #BacklistReadathon.

I'm getting set for the #FabulousFebruary readathon, which kind of snuck up on me. My goals:
Finish Star Wars: A New Dawn
Finish Dawn of X Vol. 8, 9 & 10
Start Argonaut
Start Broken Icarus
Read 20 plus hours
Good luck to everyone who's joining in.

My #bookspin list for February! January was a success, but now that‘s I‘m back in school, we‘ll see how February goes. 😂 I may be playing a little catch-up this summer. ☺️ This month I added a FOURTH reading challenge (Barnes & Noble) and squished Litsy and GoodReads TBRs into one prompt so I have some leeway. Happy Reading, fellow Spinners!

#bookspin #doublespin #bookspinbingo

Looking forward to February!

My #FebruaryTBR plans for next month. I hope I can finish them all. Let me know if you've read any of these. What are you planning to read next month?
#KindredSpiritsBuddyReed : Anne of Manhattan @BarbaraJean

#bookspin #February

This is my #BookSpin for February. @TheAromaofBooks

Switched books around and added some more that I started to read but had to put away to get through my library books. #bookspin

Here is my #FebruaryTBR for #bookspinbingo #bookspin & #doublespin

Lots of romance, fantasy and love stories. Looking forward to another good month of reading and also checking off some #NoShameReadathon2023 reads and sharing suggestions!

Hanging in my daughter‘s room while she feels “icky” - setting up my February #bookspin while I keep her company.

All the Feb wrap-ups I‘ve missed. For the month I read 18 books/4188 pages (not including ongoing reads), 6 NF and 3 books by Black authors (short on that goal). In #FabulousFebruary I read my four planned plus two more books, and in #20in4 I beat my 20-chapter goal by (finishing a book with long chapters and starting one with teeny ones) reading 52!

Nine books this month. Not too bad for a month full of events including Mardi Gras and moving house!

My February sucked. Better luck next month. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

February #MonthInReview
I was in a bit of a reading slump at the beginning of the month but reading mostly romances all month long helped. I feel pretty energized going into March ☺️
19 books finished
0 DNF
4 physical books
4 audiobooks
5 graphic novels
0 nonfiction
4 rereads

February was kind of a strange reading month for me: 🚫DNF‘ed Then We Came to the End and I hardly ever bail on books
🚫read 2 other books I didn‘t really enjoy
✅listened to 2 fantastic audiobooks
✅surprised myself by liking Ivanhoe way more than I thought I would
✅read both #roll100 picks
✅read #bookspin
✅read #foodandlit buddy read
✅6/7 (plus the DNF) were off of my GR TBR

In a bit of a reading slump. Maybe March will be better. #bookspinbingo

I love the stats on StoryGraph… it‘s always so interesting to see how it reveals my reading trends. (I would love a graph to show the breakdown between TBR/new/library reads, though—given my perpetual quest to read the books I own!)

Lots of 4.5⭐️ reads for me in February! Those top reads were:
🍜 Crying in H Mart (for #NewYearWhoDis)
💜 Heartstopper Vol. 1
📏 The Long and the Short of It
⏳ How Long ‘til Black Future Month (re-read & just as good)

I read 26 (audio)books in February, making it my first double-digit reading month since last February. It was an mostly enjoyable bunch of books; only a few turned out to be duds.

My #FebruaryStats make clear that I didn‘t read any very satisfying books and that I didn‘t read my #bookspin or #Doublespin. Here‘s to March!

A much better reading month than I anticipated!

My February #bookspin #doublebookspin #bookspinbingo card. I didn't get to Caste but I did get 5 #botmbacklog books completed. I'm hoping to read a couple of backlogged ARCs today and looking forward to March!
@TheAromaofBooks

February books! Favourites were Patrick Gale and Sarah Winman 😍😊😊

I didn't read as much as I wanted to this month but I enjoyed most of what I read so it wasn't too bad! 😅 I also read one of my #bookbingo picks and dnf-ed the second.

@TheAromaofBooks

#February2022 #BookSpinBingo #BookSpin#DoubleSpin

I read 21 books for February so I got full card of bingos.

This is my #FebTBR for the rest of February. Already started Death of a Policeman and The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind. 11 #NetGalley books on there!

#febtbr #ithadtobeyou @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs

My #tbr… I am also hoping to get some fluffy romance books in there too!

February #BookSpinBingo I decided this year to do it by topic, theme, category or genre because I‘m a mood/season reader and with this way I feel I have flexibility to choose to what I want to read next. 📚🤗

I don't really want to talk about the disappointment that was January. A Little Life took way too long to read and threw off my whole month. Oh, well. New month, new list! Using #bookspin to catch up on my #botmbacklog. @TheAromaofBooks
