February I finished 22 titles (5 up from last month, 4 down from last February), with 5,364 pages or the equivalent (291 down from last month), and gave them an average of 3.7 stars (.19 down from last month). Overall, not bad.
I’m falling behinder on posting about what I’m reading again–I knew that was happening, but I thought I was doing better than I was until I did this post. I’m going to have to work on that–on the other hand, other posts kinds of posts are in good shape (even if I missed a couple I’d planned on during the month). I’m going to call the month a toss-up on that front.
Not my best month, but definitely not my worst. That’s good enough for me. Here’s what happened here in February.
