February was the absolute longest shortest month ever.
Note: I’m still struggling with Storygraph (but I also still want to divest from Goodreads/Amazon), but I’m going to start linking there.
February goal:
I’m well into my next audiobook, but February is a short month. I’ll commit to 3 books.

2025 Note: I quit linking titles to that big site that funds the rich dude and fascism a while ago. I’ve been linking to Goodreads, but the same guy owns that, so I linked to Storygraph this month. Regardless, I recommend supporting independent bookstores. My favorite is Old Town Books (they ship!). You can also support my favorite podcast through their Bookshop.org link at KickBezosInTheBalls.org (or pick a local shop of your choosing). And you can never go wrong with your local library!

Feb 28 was Day 1262 of my reading streak.
February was OK for reading. I relied heavily on audiobooks, but that’s fine.
I’m < 30 minutes from finishing my next audiobook, so I’ll commit to 4 books in March.
As always, you can find me online to see what I’m reading:
