February was a bit of a slower reading month than January. I began a new medication which has a side effect of fatigue and I definitely experienced that. More than that, I realized that I was putting a lot of pressure with the initial goal I set to read up to two books per day. So what I did each morning was to read a book and if I felt up to it after a nap midday I would start a second book.


My favorite book of February was The New Couple in 5B by Lisa Unger. I really don’t have a least favorite for the month.
