This month I participated in a reading challenge over on The Storygraph, titled Fantasy February. It will, therefore, not surprise you that the majority of the books below are fantasy. I have really enjoyed the reading challenge, the ten different categories getting me to rifle through my tbr pile and dust of some older purchases … More February Reads
