February TBR

2/8/2018

5 Comments

 
I don't often plan out my reading for a month, but I'm trying to make as much progress on my challenges and Classics Club list as I can in the first half of the year. So at the beginning of February, I found myself with a stack of books that I wanted to read during the month. I'm a bit worried about finishing it all, but I certainly hope to! I thought I would share it here for a little encouragement. :​)

  • The NIghtingale by Kristin Hannah (My book club book for February. Deadline: February 23)
  • The Burning Page by Genevieve Cogman (A just-for-fun book I checked out of the library. Due Date: February 16)
  • Surprised by Oxford by Carolyn Weber (A book I borrowed from a friend many months ago that I really need to read soon. Arbitrary Deadline: February 28ish)
  • Man and Superman by George Bernard Shaw (My February read for my Classics Club list. Deadline: February 28)
  • One Came Home by Amy Timberlake (I'm trying to read the 2014 Newbery Honor books this year. This will be my third of the four. Due Date: February 23)
  • Efronia: An Armenian Love Story by Stina Katchadourian (My first book for the Litsy Passport Challenge. I'm trying to read a country a month, but I didn't get through anything in January. Whoops. Due Date: February 23)
  • Full Moon Over Noah's Ark by Rick Antonson (Also for Armenia for the Litsy Passport Challenge. Due Date:​ February 23)
It would have been great if this was a leap year - I could really use an extra day this month!
​What books are you hoping to read in the month of February?

You've got some hefty reading lined up! The Nightingale has been on my list for ages. Can't wait to see what you think.

I always choose my books in advance, and like you, I think I might have bitten off more than I can chew this month. Here's what I'm reading in February: https://otherwomensstories.blogspot.com/2018/02/february-2018-reading-list.html

I'm a bit nervous about fitting it all in! I'm really looking forward to reading The Nightingale. I was the one to recommend to my book club, and I'm so excited we finally decided to read it! :)

That's quite a stack! Sometimes I find squeezing in a longer book club book tricky -- but usually can manage it if it's one I'm really interested in. Good luck :)

I was a bit surprised by how thick The Nightingale was once I got my copy. I'm hoping it's a fast read! :)

I love this idea! I like to plan my reading out too, although I tend to just map out the new three books.

Surprised by Oxford sounds great. I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

    My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.
