Well, we've started things off with a bang! I've had a really good reading month, quantity wise, and a pretty good one quality wise too. My average rating this month was 3.3 so I enjoyed most of what I read!
I also split my reading nearly 60/40 between my own books and library books. Which. I feel like I should've read more of my own books, but I was fooling myself when I said I'd stay away from the library... so!
And so far I've been really good about sticking to my book buying rules. I've read 10 books, so I ordered two that I wanted just because. And the only other two books in that order were books 2 and 3 in a series I started this month and absolutely LOVED.

FEBRUARY TBR
FROM MY BOOKSHELF:
Winter (Lunar Chronicles #4) by Marissa Meyer
FROM THE LIBRARY:
Luck in the Shadows (Nightrunner #1) by Lynn Flewelling
Miss Mayhem (Rebel Belle #2) by Rachel Hawkins
I really need to get around to Winter in February. I'm putting it off for no good reason other than I'm not ready for the series to be over..! The other library books are ones I currently have signed out. So.
I'm definitely planning on reading more than just 4 books. Maybe not the 13 I managed this month, but I like to leave the TBR relatively open so I can pick up whatever I'm feeling like.
What did you read this month? Let's chat in the comments!
