February, 2022: Month in Review

 

 

Holy-moly, I started 21 books this month (and DNFed three of them for various reasons). It was another good month. Lots of mysteries, a couple of interesting histories and a few more lectures in the history of Egypt that I started last month (I can only stand so much denture click-clack at a time). This month's Agatha Christie side read was a lot of fun and so was The Man That Got Away. Thanks to library loans, I'm happily making progress with the various series I've gotten involved in. I just wish the library offered more then just a couple of the books in each series. Least favorite book of the month, not including the DNFs, was The Eighth Detective; it fell flat as Shrove Tuesday pancake. Favorite books of the month were The Thursday Murder Club, The Funny Thing About Norman Foreman and Last Bus to Wisdom. They made a dark, cold month just a bit warmer and brighter.
