February felt like a very long short month.
February goal:
February’s goal is 4. I plan to finish the remaining Inheritance Games books that are available, plus my current audiobook.
Result:
No, but not for a lack of reading. Just a lack of concentrating it all on one book at a time.

*Note: Storygraph has a slightly different number because they count what they think I actually read each day based on when I update my progress. I always count the entire book in the month it was completed, even if I read everything but the last page (or listen to everything but the last minute) in the previous month.
Reading Goals:
Read 36 books
I finished 4 books toward my Storygraph challenge.
- Audiobooks: 2

February 28 was Day 1627 of my reading streak.
I’ve finally finished everything currently available in The Inheritance Games series. I didn’t reach my goal of completing 4 books last month, but work got super busy and the only way to keep my streak going was to listen to an audiobook.
March’s goal is 4. I’ve already finished one book (the joys of posting so late), and I’m almost done with an audiobook. I also plan to get back to Separation of Church and Hate. It seems relevant.
As always, you can find me other places to see what I’m reading:
Also, 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!
