Taylor Swift really knew what she was doing when she wrote the lyric \u201call my mornings are Mondays stuck in an endless February\u201d<\/em>, that\u2019s exactly what this month has felt like. I\u2019ve come to realize that February is the worst month for me because I spend the entire month feeling like Eurydice saying \u201cis it finished yet?\u201d to Orpheus regarding his song that is supposed to bring back Spring. Like, hurry up and finish the song, bestie, I can only take so much more of this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may not be my favorite month of the year, but let\u2019s recap February, shall we?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Wow, what a lackluster reading month for me, honestly. Not necessarily the books themselves, but my motivation and focus with reading was so incredibly low. Now, that mostly was due to the Olympics being on, but still, I just wasn\u2019t feeling super motivated to read. I just was really struggling throughout the month in a myriad of ways, and it absolutely had an impact on my reading this month. While 6 books is not anything to scoff at, it\u2019s my low motivation and energy to read that made this month feel so lackluster when it comes to reading. However, I am glad that of the 6 books I read this month, 3 of them were from my owned tbr, and 2 of them were on my 26 in 2026 list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
