Here's a summary of my book-related activity for February. Another fairly weak month, which included a full week of being so sick I could barely even read (much less do anything else). I just drifted in and out of sleep for days. I could tell I was getting better when I read The Unbound (which I was super excited for!) in less than two days.
I was also away for a few days at RootsTech (a genealogy conference), which didn't allow much reading time. However, I did read an entire book (Drop Dead Healthy) on the plane rides there and back, and got that book signed when I met A.J. Jacobs!!
Books I read (linked to the reviews)
Drop Dead Healthy: One Man's Humble Quest for Bodily Perfection by A.J. Jacobs (TBR pile)
The Darkness of Shadows by Chris Little (NetGalley)
The Unbound (The Archived #2) by Victoria Schwab (new book)
The Returned by Jason Mott (NetGalley) (in progress)

Progress on challenges
Stardoom: A Scientific Account of the Beginning and End of the Universe by Paul Davies was my February Random Read. I just barely started reading it, and then abandoned it.
I read 1 book for the
Mount TBR Reading Challenge.
I completed the following squares for the
Book Bingo Challenge: 1 book from TBR pile, FREE SQUARE, 1 contemporary
I read 1 book for the
Diversity on the Shelf Challenge.
I read 0
banned or challenged books.
I read 2 books
written by women.
I read 1 book for the
Seriously Series Challenge.
Progress on my TBR pile: I added 7 books to my to read list and removed 5 (the 4 I read, plus Stardoom, which I donated), so my
pile increased by 2 this month!
