As everyone knows, February is a shorter month, so it seemed to go by extra fast. But there were still plenty of awesome posts I read to present in my February 2026 On My Radar. I found Amanda’s post about Spotify and Bookshop (below under “Bookish Miscellany”) particularly interesting. Such an odd move for Bookshop, who continue to remain silent about the outrage of their partnership with Spotify. Anyway, have fun blog hopping!

Thank you for linking my reviews! I never used Spotify, and I know my daughter deleted her account which shocked me. So I’m disappointed in Bookshop!
I’m super disappointed in Bookshop, too. Apparently they announced the partnership on their various platforms, but they received such backlash that they deleted those posts. They’ve so far been very quiet about it, though from time to time I comment on their IG posts asking them about it. I used to use Spotify, but stopped once I found out about the types of ads they decided to run.
Thank you for both of my shout outs😃I love that February is so short as it means that the short days are now almost over.
You’re welcome!
Thanks so much for including my review! It was such a great read. 🙂
You’re welcome!
I just read the posts about the audiobook apps (and the Spotify collaboration). Those were interesting posts.
Yea, I was very disappointed about the Spotify partnership. Bookshop has stayed very silent about it.
You’ve linked lots of great reviews. I’m excited to check out some of the books mentioned. Thanks for linking my post!
You’re welcome!
Thanks for including TWO of my posts in such great company! <3
You’re welcome! I enjoyed reading your posts, and the Spotify one I’m still incensed about, lol.
Yeah I’m still not over my surprise about that partnership.
Thank you for including my review! 😊
