What I Read in February

I kept the momentum going in February, I read nine books…however, we’re now in March and I’ve hit a wall. Stay tuned for next month’s post to see if I was able to catch up.

On to what I read. Last month I mentioned that I wasn’t feeling audio books, I stuck to my guns and didn’t listen to one book last month. I physically read them all.

Here they are:

• Handcrafted: A Woodworker’s Story by Clint Harp
• A Tree Grows In Brooklyn by Betty Smith
• Black Girl in Paris by Shay Youngblood
• She Begat This: 20 Years of the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill by Joan Morgan
• The Silent Patient (book club read) by Alex Michaelides
• Make Something Good Today: A Memoir by Erin Napier
• Training School for Negro Girls by Camille Acker
• The Dutch House by Ann Patchett
• Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

As I mentioned last month, I won’t be giving in-depth reviews in these monthly wrap-ups. Head over to my Goodreads page if you are interested in my reviews.

My favorite book for the month was a tie between “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn,” and “The Silent Patient.” I’m leaning more towards the former. I couldn’t put that book down, but the latter was a definite page turner with an unexpected end. Both are must reads if you ask me. I’ve affiliate linked them if you want to head to Amazon and see for yourself.

My least favorite of the month was “Training School for Negro Girls.”

I read some really good books last month, if I had to recommend a few others they would be, “The Dutch House“, and “Handcrafted: A Woodworker’s Story” both were very good.

I’m not a fan of self-help books, I prefer memoirs that highlight an individual’s growth and success, which is why I loved “Handcrafted,” it fell in line with “The Magnolia Story” and “Capital Gaines,” which are all books that touch on the Chip and Joanna Gaines story. If you need a little inspiration to keep chasing your dreams, these three are a must-read.

That’s it for last month’s reads. Make sure you are subscribed to my newsletter so you don’t miss any of these monthly wrap-up book posts and all of the other content I post!
