Another good month of reading!
February goal:
February is a shorter month, plus I’m listening to a 29-hour audiobook, so I’m setting a goal of just 3 books.
What I read:
- A Promised Land—Barack Obama
- Audiobook (22h 13m)
- 5* (Feb 10)
- The Exiles—Christine Baker Kline
- Kindle
- 3* (Jan 03)
- Taste: My Life Through Food—Stanley Tucci
- Audiobook (5h 32m)
- 4.5* (Feb 26)
Note: I quit linking titles to that big site that funds the rich dude and his space wars with other rich dudes. I’ve linked to Goodreads, but if you’re looking to support independent bookstores, my favorite local shop is Old Town Books (they ship!), and you can support my favorite podcast and a local shop of your choosing through their Bookshop.org link at KickBezosInTheBalls.org. And you can never go wrong with your local library!

- January – 2170, 20h 19m
- February – 1442, 27h 45m
Reading Goals:
1. Read 36 books – I finished 3 books toward my Goodreads Challenge.
2. Decrease my TBR –
- Jan 1: 64 physical / 22 Kindle
- Feb 1: 64/23
- Feb 28: 64/23
3. Read 12 not-novels –
- Jan: 5 (1 development, 3 memoir, 1 nonfiction—and 4 audiobooks)
- Feb: 2 (2 memoir/audiobook)
4. Read 22 minutes per day – I haven’t missed any days. Counting my 2021 goal of reading 21 minutes per day, I’m on a 166-day streak.
I was spot-on with my February goal. Obama’s book was long, but it was worth it. I feel good about my March reading, so I’m going to set a goal of 5 books.
