I’m trying to post a wrap up for the end of each month, mainly to help me to keep track of my reading and at the same time look at what I’m intending to read during the month ahead (inspired by Books Bones and Buffy’s What’s on My Plate.
Today’s post will be a dual post covering my weekly and monthly wrap up. How are we even in March already – it’s crazy. My February reading has been okay, particularly as it’s a short month. I’m over my cold thankfully and I’ve caught up with quite a few reviews, comments and blog hopping. So feeling quite positive. This month I managed to complete 10 books. I still have a couple of February books to complete – but I did give both a try and for some reason we just weren’t getting on so I’ve put them aside for now. One of the ten was one of my March books and I’ll be reviewing that on Monday (all going well – Once Was Willem).

Books and travelling with Lynn 
I adored A Letter to the Luminous Deep. I’m hoping to read Once Was Willem this week, I’m curious to see what you thought!
It’s my next read – really curious to see what I’ll make of it.
Lynn 😀
I really want to read most of the books that you got to in February. A few had vaguely caught my eye initially but became priority reads based on the responses that I’ve seen to them. I’m also very curious about The Vipers and Once Was Willem. I loved A Letter To The Luminous Deep. Just as a heads up I felt a little lost initially but if that happens with you too I highly recommend pushing through as by the end I considered it a favourite 😍
Yes, I was expecting maybe a bit of a slow start – Tammy also said something very similar in her review so I’m prepared at least.
Lynn 😀
Iook forward to seeing how you get on with it 🥰
I have A Letter to the Luminous Deep on my Kindle, and I really want to get to it soon!
It’s my next read and I’m very excited to pick it up.
Lynn 😀
I remember enjoying The Cloisters so will be interested in your thoughts on The Vipers.
I’m very much looking forward to picking that one up.
Lynn 😀
Looks like a busy month planned! I think it’s awesome that you’re also checking out some older releases within the last year.
Yes, another busy month – and also busy in other areas which does decrease the time available for reading. But, I’m fitting things in slowly but surely.
Lynn 😀
Hello Lynn, I am so pleased to hear you are feeling better and have read so many books! I have also felt like I been fighting off a cold or something, there’s a lot going round again at work, but I am very happy that I finished four books, which is good amount for me especially in the shortest month.
Blessings, Jessica 💌
Ahh, that’s good to hear – about your reading of course, not that you’re fighting off a cold. It’s the time of year.
I look forward to visiting your blog to see what you’ve been up to.
Lynn 😀
