Hello, friends! It’s that time of month were I once again wrap up my monthly faves!
February came and went in a snap, propelling us forward into March, and I for one am glad to see the soggy month go, especially as it wasn’t terribly eventful for me!
I only managed to actually finish one book this month, though I made it partially through three more books, all of which I hope to finish in the coming month. Most of the blame for me not being able to read too much lies with school, which consumed most and my life and left me exhausted. But what can ya do?
Anyhoo, let’s get to wrapping February up so we can move on to March!

BOOKISH STUFF
READ
Anyhoo, if you have yet to read Skyward, I advise you to get on it. It’s got spunky pilots in training, a hilariously sassy AI, a begrudging found family, and space adventure! Basically, what more could you ask for?
If you want more details on why I loved Skyward, check out my review.

FEBRUARY 2020 MEMORIES
In all honesty, February was a giant blur that passed so quickly that I was left blanking as to what I did during the month. Like, for some reason I had to think really hard to remember the month? It was weird.Regardless, when I did finally remember the month, I realized that nothing much had happened (which was probably why I couldn’t remember the month, seeing as there was nothing really to remember lol). I went to class, I did my homework, rinse, wash, repeat. As you can see, I live a life of excitement and intrigue 😂

FORWARD THINKING
Another exciting thing I’ll be attending taking place in March is the annual NOVATeen Book Festival, which is a moderately sized YA book festival that takes place in Northern Virginia, right outside Washington, D.C., each year. I’ve been attending since 2015 and each year the festival seems to get larger and larger and attract more and more well known authors. This year’s keynote speaker is Sabaa Tahir and I’m hyped!
Other than that and school, though, my month is pretty much a blank slate. But hey, that means it’s wide open for adventures, right?
