Even though February is the shortest month, I actually managed to have a pretty good reading month both in terms of number and quality. I also managed to review a few of my reads too which is another positive - I was on a roll at the beginning of the month, but did slow down a bit at the end.Here are the books that I read

How was your February reading wise or any other way that you might want to share?
Some impressive reading Marg.
ReplyDeleteI'm also impressed! And judging by your ratings, you've head some great time reading those books.
ReplyDeleteCount me impressed, too! I love the Maisie Dobbs series--really need to try and find the next one for me.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great reading month for you! I've read Shiver & Legend and really liked them too.
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm impressed!
ReplyDeleteWhat did you think of The Scottish Prisoner? I haven't read the second in the Lord John series, but I've heard Scottish Prisoner is the best of the three and that they don't have to be read in order.
What did you think of BIrds of a Feather? I enjoyed it very much. She is such an interesting heroine, and set at an interesting point in history too, right after WW1 and the changes in society then.
ReplyDeleteImpressive reading indeed, Marg!
Wow! You had a great reading month! I hope March goes just as well.
ReplyDeleteYou had a fantastic month! I really hope you review Scottish Prisoner - I'd like to hear how it is. :)
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy indeed! I have only read two of the books on your list (The Great Gatsby and Shiver - what a combo!), but my reading month was good also. I am always behind with reviews as well. Sometimes you just have to take it easy.
ReplyDeleteI did rather well with February, too, which surprised me because of the shorter nature of it. You read some great books!
ReplyDeleteI loved The Night Circus! The Great Gatsby is on my list of books to read.
