Welcome to my February Wrap-Up. I had an okay reading month in February, finishing 4 books (0 books off my TBR). I also received 5 ARC this month. I have reviews up or coming up for these books so as usual this is just going to be a brief rundown of each book I read.
Without further ado, let’s get into my February Wrap Up:
The Great Aussie Easter Egg-and-Spoon Race by Sophie Sayle: This book was wonderful. I love when Holiday themed books are set in Australia so I was very excited to get my hands on this book. Thankfully it was everything I hoped it would be and so much more. The story was sweet and fun, the characters were awesome Aussie animals and the illustrations by Daron Parton were absolutely perfect. I am so glad that I picked up this book as I feel it is a must-have for all Aussie homes this Easter.
Grannysaurus by David Walliams: This book was awesome. As a massive fan of David Walliams, I was excited to get my hands on this book, and I am happy to say it was everything I hoped it would be. The story was fun and witty, and the illustrations by Adam Stower were bright and bold. The pairing of story and images was utterly perfect making for a fantastic book for young readers and their families.
Destination Buchenwald by Colin Burgess: This book was fantastic. As someone with an interest in WWII history, I was surprised that I knew nothing about this story before reading this book, but now that I do I am excited to learn more. This book is equal parts heartwarming and heartbreaking and shows both the good and evil that humanity is capable of. This is one of those books that I believe everyone should read at least once in their lives.
Mim And The Woeful Wedding by Katrina Nannestad: I loved this book. I was excited and a little nervous to read this book after I enjoyed its predecessor so much, but It turns out I had nothing to worry about. This book was everything I had hoped it would be and so much more. The story was fun and interesting, the message was sweet, the bookshop was once again magical and brilliant and I loved catching up with Mim and her family. After reading this book I can’t wait to get my hands on the next Travelling Bookshop book.
That’s it for my February Wrap Up. I hope you all had a great reading month. Let me know what you guys read this month in the comments section.
Until my March Wrap Up…
Happy Reading…
