Another month has come and gone, which means that it’s time for another Month in Review post. I am happy to say that February has progressed quite nicely, both reading-wise and for the blog in general. Let’s take a look!
February Reads
- Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake
- One Dark Throne by Kendare Blake
- Two Dark Reigns by Kendare Blake
- Five Dark Fates by Kendare Blake
- The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
- The Testaments by Margaret Atwood
- Chain of Gold by Cassandra Clare
- Chain of Iron by Cassandra Clare
Eight books in total, which isn’t too bad, especially not for the short month of the year! I seem to be reading a lot of series lately and nothing particularly diverse, but I’m hoping to change things up a bit next month.
Reading Stats
I tracked pages instead of chapters this time since several of my books this month didn’t have regular numbered chapters. I think I prefer doing it this way, actually. It’s much easier. You can see that I’ve kept to reading one book at a time and it has worked out pretty well. I’m able to keep up with it better anyway. I was also really happy that there were only two days that I didn’t read, and one of those days was the last day of the month because I had finished Chain of Iron way earlier than I expected to. Overall, I am very pleased.
Challenge Updates
GoodReads Challenge: My goal for this year is to read 100 books. I currently have 17 books read for the year, which according to GoodReads is one book ahead of schedule!
Complete the Series: My goal was to finish six series on my list (you can see the list here). In February, I finished another series (well, duology, but I’m still counting it) with The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood. That brings my total up to two series finished from my list. I also finished a new series that I began this year in Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake.
Beat the Backlist: My goal was to read 25 books off of my owned TBR lists (i.e.. books that I own but haven’t read yet – there’s a lot). I didn’t add much to this challenge in February, only reading one book: Three Dark Crowns. I will be focusing more on this one next month.
A-to-Z Challenge: In February, I only filled in two additional letters on my A-to-Z Challenge. Still on track to do well with this one, especially since I got so many in January.
- F: Five Dark Fates
- O: One Dark Throne
Blog Updates
For the month of February, I had twelve posts, which isn’t bad, but still isn’t where I would like to be. This is, and will always be, a slightly haphazard work in progress. It’s more fun that way anyways. Here is what I posted:
- Teaser/Top Ten Tuesday Combo Posts: 3
- Teaser Tuesday Only Posts: 1
- WWW Wednesday Posts: 4
- Challenge/Updates: 1
- Reviews: 3
As always, I’m still trying to get better about reviews. Three in one month is still pretty good for me!
Overall, February was a decent month. I’m still doing well on my goals and staying fairly active on the blog. Here’s to carrying that energy into March!
