February Wrap-Up

 I really only picked up audiobooks this month! That really isn't normal for me. I think part of it is that I've been fighting to make myself read this one ARC and I'm not having a funky time with it so I'm in a state of banned (by me) from reading any new physical books but also (again due to me) not reading it. I think it's going to be my first DNF of the year and I'm not a huge fan of DNFing things so it's causing me a level three crisis.

Read

I actually... read no non-textbook physical books in February! That's bizarre for me. That almost never happens.

  1. I don't listen to audiobooks, but I get the feeling of missing physically reading, too! I've been reading a lot of ebooks lately and I've been craving a real, physical copy in my hands ahah, can't wait to get back to this :)
    You've read some great books this last month! I hope you'll have a great March! :)

    1. Physical books are just a really good tactile experience! I'm glad there are so many options for experiencing stories, but I do miss physically holding a book and reading it... Thanks for stopping by!

    1. Welcome to the wonderful world of audiobooks! I listen to audiobooks pretty consistently at this point, especially when I'm out of the house. I'm super grateful to libraries for providing access to so many fantastic stories in this format because they're pretty expensive to purchase...

  3. Did you enjoy Trouble Is a Friend of Mine? I really enjoyed the first two books in the series. I still need to get to the third. One of those underrated series I wish more people read. Hope your March is lovely!

    1. I'm waiting on the third book as well! I've got it on hold so hopefully it will become available soon. I am really enjoying it, especially because it's got a couple of tropes that I really like...

      Thanks for stopping by!
