It’s March, and it seems to be a bit of a lamb here in my part of the world. Fingers crossed that it stays that way for the rest of the month. February was a bit of a strange month for me as I didn’t do much in the way of blogging because of an illness and injury in the household. Add to that the fact I am still trying to find my footing with my work schedule. That’s not to say I didn’t have a good month reading, though, as there was plenty of reading time at work! So let’s take a look at my reading wrap up February 2022!
Reading Wrap Up February 2022
Looking back at my January wrap-up, I only read three of the six books I listed for my February TBR. Well, technically, I read 3.5 as one took me a bit longer to get into than I had hoped. Even with that hiccup, I still managed to read eight books. Of the eight books I read, two were ARCs, one was for a challenge, and two are part of the CBC Canada Reads 2022 shortlist.
For more information about each book, the titles will take you to Goodreads, and the images will take you to Amazon.

Nice list of books. Thanks for the reminder that I need to read The Flatshare.
It sounds like you had a good month. I haven’t read Agatha Christie in ages but seeing so many posts about her recently makes me think I should re-read some of her books.
Waiting for Tom Hanks is one I have sitting on my TBR shelf now. I need to read that soon because it sounds so cute.
I didn’t blog much this past month either. I’m excited for Death on the Nile with the new movie out- I think I’m gonna read it and then see the movie. 🙂
This Poison Heart is still on my TBR, though at this point I may just wait for the sequel to come out and then read them both together. I mean, since I’ve already procrastinated the first book this long… Sounds like you have some fun reads planned for March!
