February's Books Completed and Reviewed

Miriam: A Treasures of the Nile Novel by Mesu Andrews - Absolutely wonderful book that will be released in a couple weeks! (Read my review HERE.)



Into the Whirlwind by Elizabeth Camden - Another winner from one of my newer favorite authors! This story was set in Chicago during the time of the Great Chicago Fire. (Read my review HERE.)



The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - my first completed novel for the Back to the Classics Challenge, and for the February #collaboreads challenge as well. (Read my review HERE.)



Undaunted Hope (Beacons of Hope) by Jody Hedlund - This is the third is a series, but each can be read on its own. I reviewed this for Bethany House. (Read my review HERE.)



During February I continued reading:

White Nights and Other Stories by Fyodor Dostoyevsky - since this selection for the Back to the Classics Challenge is a a collection of short stories, I am reading them a bit at a time.




The Coffee Trader: A Novel by David Liss - reading on my Kindle - not moving very quickly on this one, I'm afraid. It's interesting, but not a priority for me.

The Coffee Trader



During February I started reading:

Empty Nest: What's Next?: Parenting Adult Children Without Losing Your Mind by Michele Howe




David and Bathsheba by Roberta Kells Dorr - It took me a few chapters to feel invested in this one, but I'm pretty much hooked now.




A Beauty So Rare (A Belmont Mansion Novel) by Tamera Alexander - Just started on this a couple days ago.

   


During February I shelved:


Coming Up in March!
