Hello readers!
How is it February, oh my gosh, one entire month of 2020 is over and I’m still writing 2019 on the dates. My Ducks, Newburyport saga is done! I am quite glad to be able to pick up new books now, although I did like it very much!
January Wrap Up
I read 10 books this month! Quite nice for my 100 books challenge for the year, especially considering one of these books was Ducks.

Books I Hope I Read in February
It is, huh… challenging. I may have signed up for way too many books to be read this month (Women’s Prize buddy reading, FFFeb, ARCs coming out February… oh boy).
I wanna read Harrow the Ninth! Wow, it sounds like you have a great month ahead of you, after already having a pretty darn good January.

Thank you, Dani! I’m really excited for Harrow!! I am finishing my current read today or tomorrow or so and then picking it up.

Yay for Ducks! I’m so glad you liked it, and can agree that it feels good to pick up shorter things, afterward.
So many of your February hopefuls look appealing to me, I’m (selfishly) hoping you’ll be able to read and review them all! If it’s not meant to be, I hope you enjoy the titles you do pick up, at least. 🙂

Yes! I feel so productive reading a bunch of shorter books now! xD
Thank you, Emily! I’m really looking forward to February. You’ll pick up Crime in the Neighborhood too, right? Or did you decide to skip that one? (I can hardly keep up with the chat anymore, so I’m a bit lost!)

Yes! I forgot to mention Crime in my comment but I was currently reading it already! I just finished. I didn’t love it, but I hope you’ll fare better!

Ohh I have to get to it soon. I’m awfully curious, even if you and Sarah didn’t like it. It just sounds so good in theory.
