February Reads - Hopefully

To make sure I cover my challenges and other bookish things I've got going on, I've started compiling lists of what books I need to read each month. I'm hoping posting those lists on Smiling Shelves will hold me to them (although you never know what will happen if the mood to read something different strikes). Here's what's on the docket for February:​

• Tisha by Robert Specht (Why? Because it was mentioned in the Reading Together book club, which is focusing on the Arctic right now, and I happened to have a copy of the book. It's about time I brushed the dust off this one and read it.)
• The Black Cauldron by Lloyd Alexander (Why? Because I'm rereading the Chronicles of Prydain this year, and this is the next one in the series.)
• Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne (Why? Because it's on my Classics Club list. And because it was mentioned a lot in All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr, which was our book club book for January.)
• Cress by Marissa Meyer (Why? Because I'm allowing myself to read the next book in the Lunar Chronicles every other month. December was Scarlet, so February is finally time for Cress!)
• Lost in Rooville by Ray Blackston (Why? Because last year, I challenged myself to read every book off of one of my bookshelves. I succeeded, and then got rid of a few books I didn't like or knew I wouldn't read again. I recently filled those spots with new books purchased. I'm determined to keep that shelf completely read, so I need to start reading the fill-in books, like this one!)
• The Island of Dr. Libris by Chris Grabenstein (Why? Because I loved his Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library, and I've been impatiently awaiting the chance to read his next book.)
• All the Stars in the Heavens by Adriana Trigiani (Why? Because I bought this at Barnes & Noble last week, and I really, really want to read all of the books I buy this year. Better start now while the list is small!)

Not pictured (because I don't own copies of them):

• Julie of the Wolves by Jean Craighead George (Why? Because it's the next book for the Reading Together book club. I honestly can't believe I don't own a copy of this one, since it has my name in the title!)
• Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder (Why? Because it's the next read up for the Little House Read-along.)
• One Mountain Away by Emilie Richards (Why?​ Because it's my book club book for February.)
