To-Be-Read List/// February 2018 TBR.

Hello!

I am here today to share my February TBR with you guys.

I don't always make a TBR and I haven't made a definite TBR for the last 3 to 4 months, at the very least. Sometimes, I make a tentative TBR in my Book Journal but I don't end up sharing it on the blog because I begin to stray from it.

But this year, in the months that I do make a TBR, I want to share it on here. Just to share my reading plans for a certain month and have a record of my monthly reading list.

Whether I fully stick to my list or not is whole other matter and something we'll find out for sure only in my Monthly Reading Wrap-Ups!

TBH, I am not too fussed with sticking to TBRs like I once was. Sure TBRs help with keeping my reading life a little planned and not quite frantic but if I feel like straying and picking up a whole other book, I am going to do just that!

With that said let's jump into my February TBR!

One my reading goals for February is to read books that make me happy.

Being my birthday month, I want it to be full of joys big & small.

So I want read the books that make me joyous.

1. Juniper Lemon's Happiness Index by Julie Israel

2. The Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn

3. Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng

4. Uncommon Type by Tom Hanks

5. Heidi by Johanna Spyri (RR)

6. Prankenstein Edited by Jerry Pinto and Ruskin Bond (sent for review)

7. The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes

8. The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks

9. Then She was Gone by Lisa Jewel

10. Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen (This I am hoping to read on my birthday)

Just 10 Books on my List this month, since I want to do a whole lot more this month as well.

The main goal for me this month is to WRITE!

WRITE MORE and maybe even share some of my work!

What do you intend on reading this month?

Have a great reading month folks!
