Top Book for February:

I had many very good reads this month. All my books were either 4, 4.5 or 5. However I did give one book 5 stars, mainly because I was so entertained by the audiobook version. Honestly though every single book this month was worth reading and more.

  4. Great month of reading! When every book is that highly rated, it's a good month. And 8 new authors?! That's so awesome. I've never stopped to think how many new authors I read each month. When I look at my February post, it was 4, which surprises me! More than I thought. And one of them is now one of my new favorites.

  6. Nice! I had a quiet reading month with around 6 books read (I don't keep track of stats anymore but that sounds about right :) ). I read a few that good books, but nothing stands out at being amazing/5 stars. Hopefully my reading choices in March will be a bit better!

  7. I love how you did your layout and graphics for this post-- very easy to read and understand. Great job with finding new authors! I've been trying to do this lately to get out of my rut. I'm wondering about Emilie Richards, have heard she writes an awesome women's series and the Shondra book-- well I enjoy some of her TV shows, so I guess I'm curious what makes her tick!

  8. I also read 14 books! I like the way you provide a detailed analysis of what you read, authors, etc. Someday I will do that! LOL.

    Enjoy March!
