February 2021 Reading Wrap Up
How was your February reading?
It feels like February was a short book-reading month: I had zero five-star reads, six four-star reads, one three-star read, and one two-star read. Find all my February reads listed below in order of Star Rating. Keep in mind that I normally recommend five- and four-star reads on the blog; three-star reads receive mixed reviews from me for various reasons; and two-star reads are books that were not for me. One-star reads are usually shelved as DNF.
My favorite read of the month is Surviving Savannah by Patti Callahan followed closely by The Downstairs Girl by Stacey Lee.
Did we read any of the same books?

I loved your review of Love is a Revolution!
Thanks so much!
I never understood the 28 days of February. It was a good reading month though
It feels like it barely started and now it’s over!
I only have one of these on my TBR – The Downstairs Girl ❤️ I did have two that surprised me this month and I really enjoyed them. One middle grade and one YA – Of a Feather & Prepped
I think you’ll like Downstairs Girl!
February did fly by! I have been meaning to read Their Eyes are Watching God. Would love to know what you thought of it. Surviving Savannah looks wonderful, I’m looking forward to your review.
I think i would recommend Their Eyes on an audio format. The print version was challenging to read because of the phonetically spelled dialect. The fact that it was written in the 1930s is amazing! Well worth a priority placement on your TBR! I’ve heard that her autobiography is great, too!
My fav was Four Winds, I’m posting it this week!
Eager to read your review!
