My super ambitious, but kind of made- itself- that- way- because- of- all- the -books- I- checked -out -of- the -library- that -need- to- be- read February 2023 to-read list. I put all my holds on hold, until I can catch up...
Buzzword reading challenge (a verb in the title) : The Long Walk by Stephen King. I own this.
Read Your Bookshelf Challenge: complimentary color to my January book (navy blue), which means I needed a book with a weird ugly green color: Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger sort of fits that... also owned.
Beat the Backlist: Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson--according to the internets this has a heist plot in it... it is also 500 pages + which I am trying to read more of... Is this book intimidating (fantasy is not my thing) yes. Do people rave about it? yes. Do I want to read at least one thing Brandon Sanderson wrote sometime in my life? yes. I own the entire trilogy.
I didn't put any more Beat the Backlist challenges on this month's list (or my to-read list would be 500 miles long) and because Mistborn is intimidating enough, but if I read something that happens to fit, I'll count it.
Other goals/challenges and book categories:
Things that are not novels:
Call Us What We Carry by Amanda Gorman (poetry)--library book.
Go Back for Murder-- Agatha Christie (play)--library book.
My online book club:
Murder at Mallowan Hall by Colleen Cambridge--library book.
Series:
The Reptile Room-- Lemony Snicket--own the entire series.
Body of Evidence-- Patricia Cornwell--owned.
The Lost Fairy Tales--Anna James--library book.
all of those are book #2 in their series...
And finally random books I'd like to get to or finish:
The Last Cuentista by Donna Barba Higuera--library book.
Snow Falling on Cedars (which I started in 2022 so doesn't count for any Beat the Backlist prompts...) owned.
Can I read...9, 10, 11...yikes books in February? I don't know. Four are on the shorter side... Maybe I'll have two great reading months in a row, it could happen...
Happy February!
And I forgot:
which I am listening to on audio. I think I need an intervention :P
