That’s a Wrap! February 2017

March 2, 2017 Angela Reading Goals, Wrap Up

Real life definitely slowed down my reading progress this past month, but I’ve read more books and written more reviews than I’ve had time to post here. I admit I’ve been in a bit of a book slump lately, so I need motivation to stay on schedule. Nonetheless, I’m determined to keep my 2017 Reading Goals. Read on to check out the good, bad, and ugly status of my goals, plus a wrap-up of books reviewed on the blog in February.

Reading Goals: February Status Update

I need you all to hold me accountable, so for better or worse, here’s the lowdown on my 2017 Reading Goals status.

DNF without guilt.
I didn’t feel the need to DNF any books this past month, but I came thisclose a couple times.

Have more variety.
I read two dark romances, Debt Inheritance and First Debt, by Pepper Winters. It’s not a genre that I typically read, so I definitely pushed myself a little out of my comfort zone.

Give new authors a chance.
See above. Pepper Winters is a new-to-me author. I’m not sure her writing style is quite my thing, but I’m glad I tried something new.

Go on an ARC diet.
I fell off the wagon. Big time. I blame my blogger friends. You know who you are. I signed up for six ARCs in February, but only three were through tour companies. Reviewing an ARC through an author or publicist is a lot less stressful, so do I get any bonus points?
