In February, I read 13 books across romance, thriller, mystery, memoir, and fantasy. February being the month of love meant my reading naturally skewed toward romance, but I also snuck in a memoir about a marriage falling apart, which felt appropriate in its own way. I did manage to get two nonfiction reads in this month, so I’m making progress on that 2026 goal. Standouts this month were Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez and Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage by Belle Burden. Average rating landed at 3.8, which is pretty much where the month felt. Some great, some fine, a couple that didn’t deliver on their premise.
