I hope your February reading has been satisfying!
Here’s my February 2023 Reading Wrap Up.

February 2023 Reading Wrap Up

In February, I enjoyed some varied reads. Out of the 8 books completed, I had two 5-star reads, three 4-star reads, and three 3-3.5–star reads. The nonfiction I read was time-consuming (but worthwhile) and should count as three fiction books!

My most memorable fiction read this month is West With Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge, a unique road-trip story inspired by real events. The most overall thought-provoking and compelling read this month is And there Was Light: Abraham Lincoln and the American Struggle by Jon Meacham.

Happy Reading Book Buddies!

“Ah, how good it is to be among people who are reading.”
~Rainer Maria Rilke

“I love the world of words, where life and literature connect.”
~Denise J Hughes

“Reading good books ruins you for enjoying bad ones.”
~Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
