February 2018 Wrap Up!

I had such good month of reading - I finished 6 books! 6 books in 28 days! Can you believe that? I can't.

I don't have that much, lets say, respect for the series and I have no desire to pick it  up ever again. But that being said I've been told The Host is far superior and that I'll love it, so perhaps against my better judgement I'm go...
