The Month That Was February and Challenge Round-up


February was quite an exiting month. We had the Olympics here at home, lots of sports watching, saw my children mesmerized by the Olympic spirit. I now have a future snowboarder and luger at home. With all this going on at home, I'm pretty surprised on how well my reading went.

Here's what the month looked like:

Longbourn's Unexpected Matchmaker
Wyoming Brides
Baker Street Letters
Too Good to be True
Eve: A Novel of the First Woman
Pemberley by the Sea
Among the Mad
Loyalty in Death
Doom with a View
The Double Hook
Dressed to Keel
Chance Encounters
The Fire Kimono
Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist

My favourite book of the month was:

Excellent reading month! I've read good and bad reviews for Eve, which makes me want to read it and see what I think.
