Reading Round Up for February 2025

With February being the shortest month it seems to have passed by so quickly.

I don't know about you but I am longing for the spring to arrive now. In fact, as I sit writing this the sun is shining. It is still extremely cold though and there was a thick frost on the garden this morning.

I was unwell for part of February and had a whole week when I didn't blog. I am still playing catch up as some of the books that I read during that time did not get reviewed.

I hope that you all had a good February. What did you read?

My February Reads

My Heart is Hurting by S.E. Reed

This was a wonderful book that will have you reaching for the tissues. It was my favourite read of the month. You can find my review here.

The Sun's Shadow by Sejal Badani

This is a very heartfelt story which tugs at the heartstrings. It is well worth reading and you can find my review here.

The House of Echoes by Alexandra Walsh

I love a dual timeline novel. It provides me with the perfect reading combination - historical fiction and contemporary. You can find my review here.

The Housemate by Sarah Bailey

This was a fabulous book, and I read all of it's 476 pages in two sittings. If you would like to read my review you can find it here.

New Arrivals on West India Dock Road by Renita D'Silva

This was a lovely historical saga set in London's East End and was full of colour. You can find my review here.

The Midlife Trials of Annabeth Hope by Alice May

This is a fabulous rom-com of a book. You can find my review by clicking here.

The Contest by Jeff Macfee

This reminded me of The Hunger Games.

Fervour by Toby Lloyd

This was well written but I found it rather depressing.

Aristotle for Novelists by Douglas Vigliotti

I read this as part of a read-along. It was a fun book to read and I enjoyed it.

Mary I: Queen of Sorrows by Alison Weir

As always, the author wrote a cracking tale of Queen Mary I. I recommend all the books in this series.

Books I Am Partway Through

The Undesirables by Sarah Wise

The Bookseller by Valerie Keogh

Death of a Dancing Queen by Kimberley G. Giarratano
