My Reading in February

Gosh another month has flown up! February being a short month is a nice excuse not to read much. But then I don’t need an excuse I have been reading a lot. I have been raiding the library and clinging to books as I try to escape reality. Books transport me to another world and don’t let me think much about reality. I made trips to the library every time I needed to get out of home and came back with more books than I intended.

My Read 2017 plans were fluid enough to let me deviate from them quite a bit. I seem to have learned towards classics quite a bit. I went back to books I have read before and a lot of childhood classics too. Falling back on trusty old favourites like Agatha Christie and Arthur Doyle was the kind of therapy I needed. I wasn’t ready to explore too many new authors this month.

The Almost-Abandoned Read

Little House on the Prairie.

The “I will go back again” Read

And Then There were None.

The BFG
