February may be shorter than all the other months of the year, but it was not lacking in books! I read a total of seven books this month and am excited to share my thoughts with you.
What I Read in February 2024
Shark Heart: this book was pitched to me as a heartbreaking romance about a man who turns into a great white shark. It was an instant yes from me! This book is heartbreaking and hopeful and for those of you who like a little weird sprinkled into your books, I recommend picking this one up!
People From My Neighborhood: this is a series of short, strange, stories about people in a neighborhood where things are never quite as they seem. This book was a fun little read and I enjoyed myself. Picked this book up from the customer recommendation shelves at Powells Books. If you loved Bliss Montage then you should read this book.
One in a Millenial: I purchased both the audio and physical copy of this book because it is truly that delightful! This millennial memoir is such a treat to read and for anyone who grew up in the early 2000s, it’s a walk to memory road. I think this book would make a great gift for your millennial BFF.
The Heiress: Rachel Hawkins seriously never disappoints! This thriller was unputdownable and the audio is super engaging. Multiple voice actors are switching from different POVs. It was easy to keep track of who everyone was and I kept finding reasons to keep listening (even doing extra chores). If you are looking for a quick entertaining, well-paced thriller pick this up!
Magnolia Parks: I have been hearing about this series for a while (actually almost exactly a year) and while at a bookstore opening, I picked up books one and two! I was sold on this book when someone described it as Chuck and Blair from Gossip Girl but in London and everyone is in their 20s. If you aren’t already sold, then just know after finishing this book I immediately picked up book two and fell even MORE in love with the series.
Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals: I had heard a podcast book club on this book and was intrigued. I downloaded the audiobook and finished it in just four days. If you like learning about things like minimalism, anti-productivity culture, slow living, etc. then definitely give this a read. And if you are feeling constantly burnt out, looking for the best way to hack your time, or are always putting off what you want to do then definitely pick this book up.
Go Back and Get It: we read this for our Literary League book club this month and it was such a powerful memoir. Dionne Ford shares her journey to learn about her genealogy and connect with her family. It is a story of intergenerational trauma, race, and family. This book has photos and family trees included in the physical copy which are helpful to reference.
