Hi and welcome to another monthly overview!
I blinked and February was gone! Not the best month health-wise, and I’ve just about had it with this weather, but when it comes to books, I had a pretty amazing month! I found a few new favourites, AND I finally plucked up the courage to read a book in Spanish, ending up thoroughly enjoying both the story and the language, so that was a definite win! I used to read at least one Spanish book a month, usually more, but least year I read only English, so reading more in Spanish was one of my goals this year. I hope to read 9 more, making an even 10 in 2020 (20 would be way cooler, but I don’t think I can manage that), so if you have any recommendations, let me know!
I read about the same amount as in January, a little more in terms of novels and a little less in terms of graphic novels and audiobooks, in figures that looks like this:
February
Novels: 5160 pages over 16 books & 3 novellas / short stories
Graphic novels: 120 pages over 3 graphic novels
Audiobooks: 51 hours over 6 audiobooks

Wow what a brilliant month you’ve had! I’m fed up with the weather as well, so much wind and rain! 🙁
Yeah, it was a good one 😊 Now all I need is a bit of sunshine to read in 😆
Audiobooks: 51 hours over 6 audiobooks…. I AM JEALOUS! My phone won’t let me do that!!!!
You need a new phone 😂
Looks like an impressive month to me! Happy reading.
Thanks Jules, happy reading 😘
Awesome month! I loved Library of the Unwritten and the Guinevere Deception was another good one. And the FairyLoot box is worth the wait! 💕
You’re right, the FairyLoot box was most definitely worth the wait 😍💜
Sounds like you had an amazing bookish month! And yay for reading in Spanish; I’m playing it safe though and I’m currently rereading Harry Potter haha. Here’s to a fantastic March and a change in the weather! I can send you some of the 35+°C heatwave temperatures if you want… 😉 xx
I did have an amazing month! Thanks but you can keep your heatwave 😂
What a fab month you’ve had with all those books!!!!
