February Book Report

My partner's new hobby ❤

I finished 7 books last month.

A quote from this month's reading:

“Both described at the same time how it was always March there and always Monday, and then they understood that José Arcadio Buendía was not as crazy as the family said, but that he was the only one who had enough lucidity to sense the truth of the fact that time also stumbled and had accidents and could therefore splinter and leave an eternalized fragment in a room.” ― Gabriel García Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude

Here are the books I finished in February 2026: 

1. Crouching Buzzard, Leaping Loon by Donna Andrews (3-stars)
2. Elephants Can Remember by Agatha Christie (4-stars)
3. One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez  (audiobook, 4-stars)
4. The Case has Altered by Martha Grimes (4-stars)
5. Scrap Quilts from Crumbs, Strips, and Strings by Emily Bailey (3-stars)
6. Mysterious Case of the Missing Crime Writer by Ragnar Jonasson (3-stars)
7. Lavender Lies by Susan Whittig Albert (3-stars)
   

This looks like a mystery-heavy month, but I am also reading a history book and a book about genealogical research which has provided a nice balance for my reading.  I do need to focus more on the mystery series that I identified for making progress on. I put in a bunch of library requests for those titles spread out over the next several months so that should help.
