February 2021 TBR & Monthly Challenge

In 2021, I'm participating in Words & Whimsy Reading Challenge (new challenge each month - Feb is Dark Valentine) and The Avengers Initiative Reading Challenge (a year long challenge). 

January was a pretty solid reading month. I read 9 books in January totaling 2280 pages and 32 hr 22 min - my wrap-up will be posted next Monday. I'm happy with how January went as far as my yearly goals that I set for myself. I'm ahead on my Goodreads goal, I'm ahead on my series challenge, and I read both an Owlcrate and Netgalley book last month. I have finally posted my 2021 Series Tracker, so if you're interested in seeing what I want to read and what I've added to that list of more than 50 series...ouch...check it out.

I have fewer physical books on my TBR for the month because I have a lot of books at the library read to borrow and I want to clear out my holds list. My goal for February is 150 pages per day and I should be able to complete all these books if I can do that. I will say that I did kind of struggle with 125 in January, but I'm thinking that I can still do 150. I know I can. I expect that most of these books are going to be high ratings for me.

My TBR for February:

• You Had Me at Hola by Alexis Daria [Kindle - Library]
  
• The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson [Audio - Library]
  
• Girls of Paper and Fire by Natasha Ngan [Hardcover - Owlcrate]
  
• A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas [Kindle - Library]
  
• Tools of Engagement by Tessa Bailey [Kindle - Library]
• Godsgrave by Jay Kristoff [Hardcover]
  
• Scarlet by Marissa Meyer [Audio - Library]
  
• Unearthed by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner [Hardcover]
  
• Slay by Brittney Morris [Kindle - Library]
  
• Shipped by Angie Hockman [Kindle - Netgalley]
