February. “A good month for reading” might be the best we can say
about the “f” month. So I made the most of it — one blockbuster of a big novel; a collection of weird and wonderful short stories; a travel memoir (Italy); and four mystery novels. Click through to see what I read and join our book chat.
My reading year began splendidly, with a big, fat, delicious novel, bought by me and for me in the week before Christmas, just for that purpose. It was followed by a few good mysteries, a memoir comprised of essays, and a couple of novels thoughtfully illuminating some difficult history through the voices of some compelling female protagonists. And as I’ve been doing for a few years now, I’ve made a few notes about each book in my handwritten Reading Journal and transcribed those notes here to share with you.

Books, books, books! So many to be read, several in progress, and some of I finished in December. The stack above comprises all three, but it’s my December reading I’ll tell you about in this latest post. In fact, I read SO much in December that I’m going to split this post in two. Four titles in this, Part One, and four more in Part Two, coming your way soon. I hope you enjoy both and we can have our usual lively book chat. Click through to read on!
