February wasn't the most productive month. I did read two nonfictions which were both ok, but I'm not in love with them. I also read 4 fiction which were mostly good. My favorite was probably Smoke City by Keith Rosson but none of them are destined to be books that I return to again and again.
Honestly, it was just a tough month. Our cat continues to be sick and we know that he's really only likely to have several months left. I had my last lingering test from grad school on the 15th and waves of the cold/flu/gunk season keep hitting members of the household. It started with me, but both Ryan and Thomas have been varying levels of sick. It's just put a pinch on our levels of free time such as they are.
I'm hoping to reset a lot of goals for March. I'd like to make up ground of course, but for now I'll settle for just getting back on the rails. A lot of the more physical goals are going to have to wait until everyone is healthy again.
This month's list is much like last months list. The order is only half randomized. I've come to realize three things. First, as long as I'm getting books from the library, I'm going to need to take due dates into account in my lists. Second, a similar issue exists for books that are leant to me or books that I'm reading through TBR.co; random systems frequently don't play nice with deadlines. Third (and last), If I don't push up the series books, there's a very real chance that by the time I get to them, I'll have to restart the series before reading the latest volume. As a result, the first half of the list is deliberately organized so that I'm getting through the library and series books.
