February '26 Reads, March to-Reads

 

My reading stats in February, courtesy of The Storygraph.  I have made an effort this year to read every day, and to read mostly physical books. 

I'm also reading books recommended by other people/places this year which might be why my average rating is higher than usual...  

Books read after being recommended by others (not all showing up on my little graph) are: 

The Women by Kristin Hannah which I thought was from the adult books most checked out last year from the Multnomah County Library list, I am trying to read all of them (the print and ebook lists) but it's not on there.  Well, someone recommended it...

 The Violin Conspiracy by Brendan Slocumb, and The Appeal by Janice Hallett--Books and Jams top #10 of 2025 list

Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney--recommended by Sarah's Nighstand.

Take My Hand by Dolen Perkins-Valdez--recommended by Laura via the 'recommended by your local librarians' shelf at my library.
