What I Read in February

The problems I had in January carried over into February. I spent half the month sick. I’d have maybe a day or two where I felt better and then another bug swept through the house. Everyone was miserable. I didn’t feel like reading much.

I can’t remember the last time I had a reading slump that was physical health related. I’ve dealt with being too busy and stressed to settle into a book. I’ve had slumps from periods of anxiety and depression too. Even this slump will end eventually. I know it.

Books I finished reading in February:

  • Evasive Winds – A. R. Shellnut

Books I’m currently reading:

  • The Two Towers – J. R. R. Tolkien
  • Heaven Official’s Blessing: Volume 4 – Mo Xiang Tong Xiu
  • Nona the Ninth – Tamsyn Muir

What books did you read in February? Are there any books you are looking forward to in particular this spring? I know A Day of Fallen Night just came out. I loved Priory of the Orange Tree so that has definitely been added to my TBR list.

What I Read in January

Oh boy. A lot happened in January and none of it was conductive to reading a lot of books.

At the start of the month I set a goal on Goodreads to read 26 books this year. That’s a book every two weeks. It sounds like a reasonable goal. January just ended and I’m already behind. There were a lot of factors playing into my inability to read in January. I’m not going to go into most of them now but a big one was having one cold after another for more than half the month. It’s made doing everything harder than it should be so of course reading hasn’t been happening.

Books I finished reading in January:

  • Heaven Official’s Blessing: Volume 3 – Mo Xiang Tong Xiu

Books I’m currently reading:

  • Evasive Winds – A. R. Shellnut
  • The Two Towers – J. R. R. Tolkien
  • Heaven Official’s Blessing: Volume 4 – Mo Xiang Tong Xiu

Did you set a reading goal for 2023? What books are you looking forward to reading this year? I’d love some recommendations to get my reading mojo back on track.
