Recap of February Books Read
I really enjoyed so many books in February!! Here's a recap of them:
- The Lotus Shoes by Jane Yang – A story of two women from different classes in 1800s China and was so good, I read it in two days
- Take My Hand by Dolen Perkins-Valdez – a brave young nurse who speaks out for those who don’t have a voice in this power story (inspired by true events)
- Isola by Allegra Goodman – a riveting historical fiction about a young woman whose guardian abandons her on an island with her lover (inspired by true events)
- The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware – A fast-paced thriller about a woman who suddenly goes overboard on a luxury cruise even though all passengers appear accounted for.
- Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty (wonderfully narrated by Caroline Lee) – about nine strangers who go to a health spa with some unexpected and questionable practices – such a great listen!
- The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins (narrated by her as well) an inspiring nonfiction about how to let go of the things you can’t control and concentrate on the things you can.
- The Measure by Nikki Erlick (narrated by the immensely talented Julia Whalen) – a fascinating story of how the world changes when people receive strings that tell them how long they will live for.
- Sometimes I Lie by Alice Feeney (with great narration by Stephanie Racine) – a thriller with a twisty past about a woman who is in a coma with a mystery to solve as memories of the days leading up to the accident slowly emerge amid a turbulent past.
- ARC of The Lost Story of Eva Fuentes by Chanel Cleeton – such a fabulous book about books in this upcoming historical fiction told in three timelines about a book that connects them all in this delightful story that shares the importance of books and reading.
- Maame by Jessica George (fabulous narration by Heather Agyepong) – a wonderful coming-of-age story, told through an unfiltered lense. This was such a moving book and I was cheering Maddie on through the whole story.
