February 2018 Wrap-Up: Books and Reading

Ye Grande Olde TBR(e) Challenge Update

I started February with 208 unread books sitting around my house. And I ended with … *drumroll* …205! I’m pretty happy with this month; I didn’t spend quite as much time as I’d wanted reading print (non-graphic-novel) books, but I got through a few, and any month that decreases the TBR pile is a good month.

…anyways, let’s take a look at the breakdown:

Neutral books – Read, but don’t affect the TBR pile

Audiobooks – Ha’Penny by Jo Walton – Wicked Plants: The Weed that Killed Lincoln’s Mother and Other Botanical Atrocities by Amy Stewart (reviews coming soon)
Read But Not Owned (Books) – The Adventures of Superhero Girl by Faith Erin Hicks – French Milk by Lucy Knisley (reviews coming soon)
Re-Reads – Rat Queens, Vol. 3: Demons by Kurtis J. Wiebe (review coming soon) – Prince Caspian by C. S. Lewis

Changes to the TBR pile

Read from my TBR pile (huzzah!) – The Fifth Petal by Brunonia Barry – My Life in France by Julia Child – Rat Queens, Vol. 4: High Fantasies by Kurtis J. Wiebe (reviews coming soon)

Added to my TBR pile (all-around shame!) Nothing this month!
Non-TBR acquisitions (storage-space-related shame!) Nothing this month either!
Added to my eTBR pile (non-storage-space-related shame!)
– Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders	– The Dispatcher by John Scalzi
– So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo	* Pursuant to the discussion on this post, I’ve decided to create an eTBR pile for e-books and audiobooks that I accept for review or for which I actually pay money. I’m not adding them into my total TBR numbers, but I have to fess up about them somewhere. Keeps me honest.
