Sunday Salon : Wrapping Up February
So this is it! February is finally over! I can’t tell you how much I was looking forward to this!
Read in February :
This was crazy-midterms time and I am extremely glad it’s kind of over. Of course, with all the studying, I didn’t get to read as much as I would have wanted. With 9 books read – maybe 10 if I finish One of the Guys by Kristan Higgins today – I can’t really complain about the numbers, but I had a few disappointments and this made the month seem longer than it was. Here’s what I read this month :
- Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
- Hearts at Stake by Alyxandra Harvey
- Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause
- Hate List by Jennifer Brown
A Match Made in High School by Kristin Walker- Gone by Lisa McMann
- The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides
- The Miles Between by Mary E. Pearson
- Bleeding Violet by Dia Reeves
The Virgin Suicides was a clear favorite this month, with Fahrenheit 451, Blood and Chocolate, Hate List and Bleeding Violet close behind. A Match Made in High School was hard to get through, but I think it just wasn’t the book for me. Hearts at Stake and The Miles Between weren’t bad, just not great, and Gone stands somewhere in the middle of all this.
Reviews Posted :
- Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler
- City of Glass by Cassandra Clare
- Hunger by Michael Grant
Other Stuff Blogged :
- I posted about my “To be Reviewed” pile, and discovered that most of you are much more responsible than I am!
- The Beauty of Reading, part II : 6 more beautiful pictures of women reading.
So not only was it a slow reading month, it was also a slow blogging month.
What about you? Was your February very busy? What great book did you read?
I’m sorry you didn’t like THE MILES BETWEEN more – I fell in love with it!
February was kind of a rough month for me too, but we also got shorted a couple of days. At least your read some good books- I’ve wanted to read Fahrenheit 451 and The Virgin Suicides for a long time.
I feel like February just zipped by. I wearied of the cold and rain (unusual for us in Texas), but I could not keep up with it.
February has just flown by for me and I feel like I haven’t gotten much accomplished!
Love Fahrenheit 451, and did enjoy Virgin Suicides when I read it last year. Glad you enjoyed ’em too.
I didn’t really like Blood and Chocolate when I read it ages and ages ago, but I barely even remember what it’s about now (other than teenage vampires, of course).
Haha! It’s about werewolves, in fact, no vampires there! I guess you really didn’t like it! 😉
I really really really like Blood and Chocolate 😀 Happy March 🙂
Fahrenheit 451 has been on my wishlist for a while. I can’t wait to read it. I love The Virgin Suicides. I’m so glad you enjoyed it too. 🙂
February was a rough month for me but looking positive towards March.
My February was out-of-control reading wise…but I had such great reads it was fun!!! I thought Hate List was extremely well-written and enjoyed it a lot!
Have a great March 😀
You read great books!
