My favorite this month was Wild Dances! I can’t wait to post this full review later this week. This poignant memoir was written by someone I have known for nearly 3 decades and is about finding where you fit in personally and professionally, as well as overcoming the shared family trauma that so often restrains us.
February Reads
I won’t lie – I was a little concerned I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the aggressive reading schedule I had planned for January. Between three book clubs, and holiday reads, it was a lot! Here’s what I have planned for the next month – it’s just as aggressive! (You can find all these books on the Bookshop page here!)
- The Girlfriend Book Club – The Quarry Girls, Jess Lourey
- Friends & Fiction Book Club – Written by a person of color: The Color Purple, Alice Walker
- The Booklist Queen
- Published in Your Birth Year: The Color Purple, Alice Walker (this one is pulling double duty to help me meet my goals!)
- Famous Author You’ve Avoided: Paradise Lost, John Milton
- Character with a disability: The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath
- Fiction/Nonfiction Pairing (Fiction choice): Jackie & Maria, Gill Paul
- Additional reads this month
- Valentine’s Day: A Vineyard Valentine, Nina Bocci
- Mardi Gras: The Seamstress of New Orleans, Diane C McPhail
