2025 Reading Challenge Update - February

A monthly update halfway into the next month.  I'm a teacher.  Don't come for me on late updates. I'm just trying to survive.

But it was another lovely month of reading.  A lot from Kiera Cass just as I had a double feature of Rainbow Rowell last month.  I tend to read like I eat.  If I have a taste for it I'm eating it for weeks straight and then one day just be done.  Kiara Cass is another reread for me.  Fun Fact: When I started reading the first of the series, The Selection, for the very first time I thought it was ridiculous.  It felt like a mash up of Hunger Games and the reality show 'The Bachelor' and I was laughing at it and cringing.  Then I found myself several books in later and invested.  I went to buy I believe The One at a book signing.  So glad I got into her series and her other stories.

I can officially scroll unworried on social media because yes, I have finished Onyx Storm. Please send me all of the theories that you have but respect spoiler bounderies for others.  I will not hold it against someone if they haven't read it yet.  I only got it as soon as I did because I have the greatest friends that know my little reader heart and heard my despair as I lemented how long I'd have to wait for it at the library and one of them bought it for me.  I almost cried.

As the other books this month are all rereads I think that I'd have to choose Onyx Storm as my favorite this month just purely because it brought new feelings rather than rekindled the old ones that I have for my rereads.  You know what I mean?  Just sounds fair.

Updated pictures below.  Little pictures are books I read last month and the big ones are this month.  For author and title, the red names are last month and the blue the new adds.  I honestly think I have my work cut out for my on the A-Z's.  Any recommendations?

Until next time!
