Here we are a new month and so many books to look forward to but before I talk about that, let me go over what February was like.
I’m happy to look back on my books read and see that I’ve kept up my reading pace and read six books: A Barricade in Hell by Jaime Lee Moyer, The Last Policeman by Ben Winters, A Scream in Soho by John G. Brandon, Midnight in Mexico by Alfredo Corchado, Doll God by Luanne Castle, Unbecoming by Rebecca Scherm and A Game for Swallows by Zeina Abirached.
What I’m most excited about is that I had a good mix of poetry, fiction, mystery, non-fiction and even a graphic novel. One book was a translation and two books count toward my reading challenges. Woot! Hopefully I’ll get around to all reviews soon.
This weekend I cleared off one of my craft tables and set out some paper to prepare for some bookbinding. Oh and a big event that happened this week is that I reached 400 sales in my Etsy shop!
So between that, dinner with friends, errands and a quick trip to the library (more on that soon) the weekend is quickly coming to a close. I hope you have a great reading month ahead. Tell me what books you are looking forward to?
Congratulations on reaching 400 sales in your shop! That is amazing!
You also had quite a month in February! I love it when I get much good done in the shortest month of the year. Hope March is just as good or better!
OK, I just went over to your shop and got that Nancy Drew journal. So, so pretty. Can’t believe I haven’t visited before. Perfect!
Congrats on the shop news!
As for the mix of reads, I always find that I look back with a thrill on the months I’ve been able to do that. It’s so much more fulfilling that I’m surprised I don’t enforce it in my reading…but we all know that wouldn’t work. 🙂
Congratulation on reaching 400 sales! That’s really fantastic!
Looks like you had a good month!
(I tried to email you and it came back return to sender… So I tried the form on your webpage… Did you get it?)
Congrats on reaching the 400th sale, Iliana! 🙂 And seems like you’d a great reading month in February too.
Athira – Thank you! I did have a good February and am hoping March is going to be another great reading month!
Kay – You are so sweet! Thank you so much. I really hope you’ll enjoy it. I love making those Nancy Drew ones and need to stock up my shop with those.
Jenn aka the Picky Girl – Thank you and yes, I totally agree. It’s such a great feeling to look back and see what all I’ve read. And, yep, that’s why I try not to make too many reading goals because I’m sure I’d be jinxing myself 🙂
Stefanie – Thank you so much!
Kailana – Just answered you back! I’m very excited and I promise I will report back if I end up signing up. I figure it’s worth a try right?!
Melody – Thank you! This year has been a great one so far in reading and I just hope the rest of the year will be the same!
I’m glad you had such a good month. I love when I have a good mix of books like that! While putting together my own monthly wrap-up post I realized that I didn’t read any nonfiction in February. That’s weird for me. Upsetting too! 😀
I hope you have a fantastic March!
Congratulations on 400 sales! That is awesome, Iliana. It sounds like you had a good February overall. 🙂 I hope March will be a good one too!
I had a good month of reading in February as well although I still haven’t written my wrap-up post. Oops! Books I am looking forward to?? All of them! LOL! Seriously, I am in one of those moods where I want to read everything right now and am getting no reading done at all because of it. I hope that March goes just as well for you!!!
