February : My Month in Review

Cover compare:
I like both covers to be honest but the first is my favourite. I just like the framing and the colours.
White is your favourite?
Hope you’ve all had a good month.
Books and travelling with Lynn 
Oh I’m with you – that cover for The Kingdom of Copper is gorgeous and i’ve recently finished reading the book and loved it:)).
Oh, that’s good to hear – I’ve just started.
Lynn 😀
And – what I also meant to add is that I think you have had a fab February!
Oh nice, I think you’ll be pleased with the Kelley Armstrong Rockton books, if you enjoy thrillers!
I do enjoy thrillers and I liked your reviews so I just went for it.
Lynn 😀
I liked Polaris rising for the most part and the Rockton books are favorites of mine. Elegy does have an amazing cover! Also Never-Contented Things has me most curious!
Yay for a great month!
Thanks – glad to hear you mostly enjoyed Polaris Rising – that’s my next book.
Lynn 😀
The new Guy Gavriel Kay sounds amazing! 😀
Yeah, I’ve not read the author before so I’m really looking forward to it.
Lynn 😀
I’ve placed Polaris Rising in my reading queue, since I keep hearing good things about it, and it will be perfect for the day I will feel like some entertaining adventure… 🙂
My next book – I’m excited to pick it up.
Lynn 😀
Looks like a solid month with lots of great stuff upcoming in the next few months! I love both covers for The Kingdom of Copper although I think I’m partial to the US cover (but I like the UK cover for the first book…). Have a great March, Lynn!
Yep, lots of good books to look forward to.
Hope you have a great March too.
Lynn 😀
Lynn, I again only managed to finish two – albeit quite big – books in February: the challenging The Story of Reality by Gregory Koukl for my church’s book club and then the super fun Origin by Dan Brown, the latest Robert Langdon adventure. Thanks to your heads-up, I have also requested a copy of Council by Snorri Kristjansson, so fingers crossed I get a copy! Happy March reading – I am thinking I should treat myself to some lighter, shorter reads this month! 🙂
Short light reads sound good, always good to have a plan.
Lynn 😀
Looks like an awesome month of reading! I also read White Stag last month and I really enjoyed it. I can’t wait to read more books by Barbieri!
I did have a good month tbh and yes, I will look forward to more books by Barbieri too.
Lynn 😀
I find it hard to pick between the Daevabad covers – it’s one of those rare series where I like the artwork on both sides of the Atlantic 🙂
I’m very excited about The Poison Song and The True Queen, but all your review list looks pretty tasty – happy reading!
I know, there are so many good books coming up – I’m very excited.
Lynn 😀
