Books Read = 18
I felt like I got a bit lazy in February (and I started headed towards a mild slump that I managed to shrug off, thankfully) but I still managed to beat my books read from the prior month (17 in January!) so that was awesome. I super let my review books gather dust but I’m hoping I can do some catch-up in March.

Best of the Month: I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts On Being a Woman by Nora Ephron ★★★★★
I read and adored Heartburn last year and my wonderful mum sent me this one and I Remember Nothing. I picked this one up when nothing else sounded good and it was the perfect balm to the slump I was heading towards.
Least Favorite: Erotic Poems by E.E. Cummings ★★
hahahaha This one was so bad. I mean honestly, that’s all I can say about this one. Bad poems. Even worse doodles.
Biggest Surprise(s): Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng ★★★★½
I picked this up way back when the Ford Audiobook Club was still a thing (so like 3 years ago) and it sat unread for ages. I was convinced this family drama wasn’t something I would ever enjoy but boy was I wrong.
Biggest Disappointment: Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty ★★½
Liane Moriarty is a name that has been tossed around for years with much love attached to it. I finally decided to pick this one up after enjoying the premise of the first episode of the new show. I definitely enjoy the show more and I’m not super sure I’ll be trying anymore by Moriarty.
Wow what a great reading month for you Bonnie, I only managed to read 10 books, but its always hard to stay out of a slump and change up the books you read from time to time. I’m sorry that Big Little Lies didn’t work out for you, I went London yesterday and saw the posters for the TV show everywhere, it doesn’t start here until the 13th! I hope March is another great reading month for you!

Thanks, Jasprit! I’m really enjoying the TV show and I hope you enjoy the book! I saw you picked up a copy. 🙂 Wishing you a great reading month as well.

18 books is fantastic! Book slumps are the worst, but at least you managed to fight it off mostly 🙂 You had a pretty good variety of genres and topics – from zombies to Nora Ephon, haha.
I hope March is just as good or even better for you 🙂

Awesome reading month you had! I wish I could read as many books each month like you do!

Glad to see you enjoyed Shopgirl. It’s not a book I’d ordinarily pick up (no reason, just not on my radar) but someone suggested it for a future #6Degrees starting book, so I’ll be adding it to the stack.
