Here’s everything I read in February!
February is traditionally a pretty slow reading month for me, but this year wasn’t half bad. I will forever stand by the sentiment that February is the worst month of the year though 😅

Pros: The most swoon-worthy romance, All the feel-good vibes, Great side characters, A setting that feels like a warm blanket
