February 2024 TBR List

Published on by Celeste16 Comments

I did better than expected with my January TBR list and read five of the seven listed, plus some SFINCS novellas. So I hope to continue the trend this month with my February 2024 TBR list. Crescent City #3 is now out in the world, so I plan to devote my early February reading time to that chonk. I also know February is a super busy month for new fantasy releases. Thankfully I found my self control and didn’t go overboard, so I think my February 2024 TBR list is manageable.

I also have SFINCS novellas to read, too. While I hope to get to a lot of these books below, I know it probably isn’t realistic. This February 2024 TBR list is really more of a way for me to organize what I have to read. After February I think most of my reads will be from my own shelves. I plan to cut back on ARC requests and stick to a couple of my favorite publishers.

The emphasis remains on fantasy books, but I also included some nonfiction and literary fiction.

Most importantly, I finished HOUSE OF SKY AND BREATH! If you want to learn more about what I did in January, including blog stats, then continue onward to my January book blog wrap-up!

The Woman In Me by Britney Spears

The Woman In Me by Britney Spears

Published on by Celeste2 Comments

Today’s review is about THE WOMAN IN ME by Britney Spears. Like Patrick Stewart’s memoir, I again reviewed this one in a more reactive and casual tone. I’m glad Britney found her voice and published her life as she experienced it. It’s amazing she pulled through 13 years of near-militant control by her father over her life and body.
