February Recap

Another cold winter month has come and gone! But our cold weather temps weren't the only record-breaking stat; I set a new personal best for books read in a month at eight, including three audiobooks. In this awfully dreary February, it was so soothing to have some fantastic, intriguing, and heart-warming reads to get me through. There’s seriously nothing like some hot chocolate, a good book, and a warm blanket to make a day better.

Here’s a recap of the books I read this month:

1. Cuckoo’s Calling by Robert Galbraith (AKA JK Rowling)
2. Have a Little Faith by Mitch Albom
3. The Book of Matt by Stephen Jimenez
4. Dewey: The Small Town Library Cat by Vicki Myron
5. Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell
6. Teacher Man by Frank McCourt
7. Lean In by Sheryl Sandburg
8. Legend by Mary Lu

Favorite Fiction: Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell. This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone- you’ve read my review, haven’t you?

Favorite Non-Fiction: Have a Little Faith by Mitch Albom. A wonderful quick read!

Least Favorite Book: Teacher Man by Frank McCourt. It wasn’t that this book wasn’t interesting, but the audio got a little long and it mostly just made me sad as a teacher to have disrespectful kids and no help from administration and all that other stuff. Let’s just say, at times, Frank McCourt did not make me proud to be a teacher. But it was also full of some classroom joys, some of which I'm striving to experience myself.

Although I didn’t get to “book it” for all of my reads this past month, I was pretty busy with dance and other aspects of my life. I’m proud that I read so many books, and have no regrets for choosing reading over blogging. If you have any questions about books on the above list, though, please ask! You know I love to talk about books J

My birthday is just a week away- happy March!
