February was a pleasant month for reading. I liked everything I read and had a couple of good surprises. Here are my numbers:
Fiction: 3
Non-Fiction: 6
This is an exact duplicate of January. I just seem to love those non-fiction books.
Challenges completed: 0
Challenges started: 0
Favorite character I met during the month:
It’s a tie!!
I thoroughly enjoyed meeting the private investigator (researcher) Britten in the graphic novel Britten and Brulightly by Hannah Berry. I’m sure the author meant this as a serious noir crime novel but I found Britten to be funny and a very likable character.
My heart went out to the young Ethel Waters who was never loved or cared for as a child. Then my admiration grew for her as she developed into a magnificent woman who shared her amazing voice with the world. [From His Eye Is On the Sparrow.]
What’s ahead for March?
I’m very happy to be hosting two book-tours this month. One is for Pump Up Your Book Tour with the new mystery, Devil’s Food Cake by Josi Kilpack.
The other tour is with TLC Book Tours with a non-fiction title, If The Church Were Christian by Phillip Gulley. I can’t wait to tell you about them as well as a few others I’m anxious to read.
I hope you have also had a good month with your reading.
Hi Margot. Thank you for the reminder of a couple of books you talked about earlier that I’d meant to put on my TBR list! My reading was kind of hit and miss during the roadtrip, but now we’re in Library and BookStore territory again. Yes!
I am quite sure I read the Sparrow book as a young girl – could it have been around that long??
Well I know I certainly couldn’t pass up a book with a name like Devil’s Food Cake!!!
I love the feature “Greatest Character of the Month” — I have never considered giving that a thought.
A very fun way to write a wrap-up, Margot
I love how you share your favorite character that you met. Makes it very personal.
Devil’s Food Cake sounds fun — can’t wait to read your review. I really need to see if my library has the Berry books.
Have you read any of Gulley’s Harmony books? Loved them all!! I picked up the graphic novel and it’s all your fault!!
P.S. I know that I commented on this post earlier this week because I was the first one but for some reason my comment doesn’t show up??? Weird! Oh well, enjoy March!!!!
