February Wrap Up

Hello friends! I’m a little behind the times on the wrap up for February, but I was on vacation this past week and couldn’t tear myself away from the Smoky Mountain view long enough to be productive.  But now that we are (sadly) back from our trip, I can’t wait to share my wrap up with you! 

February was a little slower than I anticipated when it came to getting through my impossibly large TBR, but I feel pretty good about the work I did.  Last month was a whirlwind.  I ended up pulling night shifts on multiple occasions because of the weather, which really messed up my routine – including limiting the amount of time I could dedicate to reading.  Booooo.  But all in all, not a horrible month.  Let’s get into it!

Alrighty, that’s it for this wrap up! Some really great reads, and unfortunately, a couple that let me down – but they can’t all be winners, right?
