February 2023 Reading Round Up

A blue tile with twenty different book covers around the words February reads.

I read 20 books in February, mostly Australian books, with two English authors. One of these, The Secret Garden, was a buddy read with my Facebook blogging community, which was a lot of fun and we discussed the characters and themes of the book, which was written in 11911, and captures the attitudes of a time and place, so modern sensibilities might not find it acceptable but I think it is a good book to illustrate what those days – the late Victorian and early Edwardian days were like. I also read the sequel, but the majority of my reading consisted of review books, and I am mostly on top of all my review books this year so far. I hope I can maintain that.

So that was my February reading – and I hope to read more in March!
