February Wrap-Up!
Hi everyone! Well, February has come and gone, and now we are a week into March. That means spring is on its way!! February was a pretty uneventful month for me, personally, but after the January I had, I really appreciated the peace. Also, on February 10th, it was my blog’s 2nd anniversary! Of course, I totally forgot, and so I didn’t do anything. I do just want to say though, thank you all so much to all of you who have followed, liked/commented on, and visited my blog. I really appreciate each and every one of you, and all your kind words and support for me these past two years has really meant a lot! I’m looking forward to seeing all the wonderful things that this next year of blogging brings. 🙂
I feel like I had a pretty great blogging and reading month! Altogether I read six books in the month of February.

STANDOUT BOOK OF THE MONTH
Safe House, which is book #3 in the 1-800-Where-R-U series, by Meg Cabot, really blew me away! It had that classic, Meg Cabot sass, with so much suspense, action, and mystery, and I completely devoured this book.

BOOK HAUL
I picked up two books this month! First, I received an ARC of Where the Fire Falls by Karen Barnett from Blogging for Books! Then, I was at the Dollar Tree, and found If Only by Richard Paul Evans. I haven’t heard a lot about this book, but everything that I have heard has been good, and I’ve really enjoyed some of his other books, so I’m sure I’ll enjoy this one, too!
MISCELLANEOUS
This month, I participated in some Top Ten Tuesdays:
- Top Ten Books on my TBR I Still Haven’t Read

I also shared some of my anticipated reads on Waiting on Wednesday:
In February, I also had the chance to participate in the super fun and love-filled InLoveAThon!
This month’s Movie Monday was A Walk to Remember.

That wraps up February. I’m looking forward to seeing what’s in store for March (hopefully warmer weather)!

So many good books. I have just finished To All The Boys I´ve Loved Before and I honestly didn´t think I would like it as much as I did.
Love Love Love A Walk To Remember but I think it has alot to do with my Shane West crush growing up xD

I agree with you on To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. I did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did either! 👍
And yes! I’m pretty sure we’ve all had a crush on Shane West at least once some point in our lives! 😂😍 He just made the absolute best Landon, too!!

That book was all cute and stuff but it was something more to it then just sweet you know. And I loved the relationship between the sisters and father in this one. They seem to have so much fun together.
Haha yes I bet we all have. I had a break and then when he was in ER that crush came running back again xD

Yes! I loved the the family relationships, too!! I have 3 sisters, 2 older and 1 younger, so I found myself really relating to Lara Jean and how she felt about different things with her sisters and her dad. ☺️

That is always something positive in a book right? I only have an way to much older brother but I could actually see the friendship with my closes friends in this book 😀

Yes, I love books that focus not only just the romantic relationship, but the relationships the main characters also shares with her family and friends! ☺️

Wow congrats on 2 years! I love that your wrap up has your blog stuff too.
Genuine Fraud was such a neat book! I remember when I finished I wanted to reread it backward. And I think one of the tragedies of my childhood is that I never read Meg Cabot!

I really recommend Genuine Fraud! It was so mind-twisty, and a great thriller. ☺️
Thanks, I hope you’re having a great month, too!

Congratulations on two years! Here’s to many more! I have avoided reading Genuine Fraud because reviews are all over the place, and I love Lockhart’s other books so much. I worry about it sullying my view of Lockhart. Glad you liked it.

Thank you!! ☺️ Yeah, I was a bit apprehensive about starting Genuine Fraud because of the mixed reviews, too. I, personally, thought it was different than E. Lockhart’s other books, but ended up really enjoying it. For that reason, though, I can understand why you wouldn’t want to read it.
