February Wrap-Up!


I started off good this month. Kept to my predicted TBR until BAM! This girl goes rouge! TBR? What TBR? I read 11 books, 9 novellas, and 1 more book on the way which I will hopefully finish Friday. Not too shabby. I have to keep going on this reading spree so I can cover any slumps that may occur during the summer months when life comes out of hibernation. 

On a bad note, I did slip on one of my other reading goals this month. I didn't read a non-fiction this month. I started one and put it down almost just as quick because it was not what I thought it was going to be about. SO! I am going to shoot for two non-fictions in March to make up for it. I did complete one graphic novel this month, did keep up with a book club this month, and chipped away at my series bucket-list. 

As of right now (not including short novellas because I'm not a cheater) I am currently 23 books down and that means 7 books ahead of schedule for my 2014 100 book challenge. So without further adieu, here is my February Wrap-Up!

3)
Book #1 of the Scott Pilgrim Graphic Novel Series

 4)
