Non-Reading Stuff

I did leave the house a couple times in February, hubby and I went on a date to see Black Panther on it’s opening day and I went to the chiropractor. I’m back to being in pain every day, and the doctor doesn’t seem to have any ideas about what to do there so… And I’m still having allergy symptoms every day for no apparent reason (this has been since November at least) which is really not enjoyable. All of this stuff is combining to make my mental state be…. not great.

Reading Stuff

I finished 4 books in February!
You can view the list of books and my fave/least fave things about them here.

I didn’t do nearly as well this month as I did in January, but I’m not too upset with myself. Considering my physical and mental state, I think I actually did quite well. Normally when I feel this bad I wouldn’t read at all, and instead I read 4 whole books. And I’m still ahead on my Goodreads goal by 2 books, so I don’t feel stressed on that front.

Blogging Stuff

Oh man I was so bad at blogging in February!

Partially I blame the Throne of Glass series, because despite being a decent story, it’s not super quotable, which is my main source of posts.

But mostly it’s just because I feel like crap. My energy levels are stupid low right now…

I’ll try to do more in March.

Elske by Cynthia Voigt
(Tales of the Kingdom, book 4)
Rating:  ★★★★★
Review:  Yes
Reading Dates:  January 30 – Feb 5
Read Count:  4
Favorite Thing:  Elske just defying everyone’s expectations over and over.
Least Favorite Thing:  Beriel’s friendship skills need work.

So now that I’ve finished rereading the Tales of the Kingdom is it too early to start rereading them all over again?

Note:  Also published as The Tale of Elske, which is the version I read since I don’t have access to my own copy right now.

Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
(Throne of Glass, book 1)
Rating:  ★★★☆☆
Review:  No
Reading Dates:  February 6 – 11
Read Count:  2
Favorite Thing:  When Celaena won the sparring match without even drawing a weapon!
Least Favorite Thing:  Only one named black character (and the only unnamed ones were that character’s body guards that get mentioned in passing a few times…).

I decided to reread Throne of Glass so I can read the parts of the series I hadn’t gotten to yet.

Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas
(Throne of Glass, book 2)
Rating:  ★★★☆☆
Review:  No
Reading Dates:  February 14 – 21
Read Count:  2
Favorite Thing:  Celaena rescuing Chaol and fucking up a whole room full of dudes.
Least Favorite Thing:  Just talk to each other!!! Everyone in these books gets all offended when their friends keep secrets from them, but then they keep secrets from those same people! Just communicate!

It’s a good thing I reread this one because I didn’t remember many of the finer details.
