FEBRUARY TBR 2024

[@ReadBrucey]

Love Grace Livingston Hill! She was the first person who crossed my mind when you said retro romance.

[@mitzireadsandwrites]

Really?? Yes, same. As soon as they announced the readathon, I thought of her, too.

[@lindamoore3530]

I checked out Murder on the Links from my library last week. Someone gifted our library a beautiful set of Agatha Christie books. I am working my way through the collection. Looking forward to reading all she wrote.☺ Hope you enjoy Murder on the Links.

[@mildrumpus]

I love the variety of books in your TBR! It looks like you have a great stack of books to choose from. Happy Reading! 😎📚👍

[@sandyokey1019]

The Melody Carlson books look adorable💕 can’t wait for part two with the book cart spin😊

[@Angela-it2tb]

I really enjoyed Murder on the Links (I love Poirot) 😂 and Once upon a Wnter’s heart was very sweet❤

[@mitzireadsandwrites]

Oh, yay! I have some great books ahead!!

[@JacquelineCaron]

love those Melody Carlson covers - I've never read anything by her. Happy Reading!!! 😊❤📚

[@StormReads]

Yay! That romance looks cool. 🙂 Thanks for participating!

[@lizlittle1641]

I love Grace Livingston Hill! I have several of her books. Maybe I'll read one.

[@mitzireadsandwrites]

Let me know if you do! I'm on the lookout for more by her!

[@sandra3616]

Oodles of books! Have fun!

[@carlaking3459]

Fun readathons ahead!!

[@MLLatUtube]

For February I am doing the Folklore February readathon - fairy tales, folklore, legends, etc. I also want to do the We Love Jenny readathon - I still can't believe she is gone. I'm not sure what to read -I have a long list of her favorites to choose from. Right now I am inclining toward Frankenstein. And I may read a Georgette Heyer for Retroromance. So many good readathons happening this month! An embarassment of riches.

[@mitzireadsandwrites]

Yes to Frankenstein! That's such a powerful, thought-provoking one!

[@kimberlycasey4105]

So many fun readathons this month! I’m exciting for the Little House group read, I got mine and am ready to go😀 and the next Nancy Drew! Thanks for doing these read-alongs I am loving revisiting these books of long ago 💙

[@mitzireadsandwrites]

Same! I had no idea I'd enjoy rereading Nancy as much as I have! Looking forward to kicking off tomorrow with our LittleHouse book, too!

[@tomaria100]

This was fun, Mitzi!

[@books_and_bocadillos]

Such a great reading month! I hadn't heard of the Retro Romance readathon...I would love to join the readathon! 💕

[@mitzireadsandwrites]

Great! Head over to @thebookishknitter or @stormreads for those details!

[@janetsmith8566]

Looking forward to your spin! I gave up on that- I’m too much of a mood reader! I was SO SHOCKED about Jennifer Brooks!!!!

[@mitzireadsandwrites]

Yes, Jennifer Brooks was a such a beautiful person. ❤

[@ReadJournalLove]

Oooh, those Melody Carlson books look good. I’m gonna search for them as well. 😊 The Shadow Ranch has been my favorite in the Nancy Drew books so far…I love a ranch setting. I’m doing the Little House and Retro Romance challenges. I got a 1979 copy of a DC Heart Throbs romance comic collection from my hubby that fits the criteria. It was fun to read through. I read the 1st LH book for your challenge and really liked it too.

[@mitzireadsandwrites]

Oh, yay! I read through the series last February, but this year I'm going to just read one of the original Little House books and a couple of others that are related.

[@joyward4858]

Love Jennifer Chiverini! Read all the Elm Creek!!

[@lizziefayelovesbooks]

I love Grace Livingston Hill!! Happy reading this month. You've got a really good stack. I've never seen those Melody Carlson books and I own a bunch of hers.

[@mitzireadsandwrites]

I was very happy to see a Valentine series. I don't see many of those.

[@cassandra3399]

Hi Mitzi, I loved Rosamunde Pilcher’s Winter Solstice so much that I want to reread her shorter works which are so nice, romance and well written! And her Flowers in the Rain and other short stories are very good! So good for February. Also for the Little House series, I thought Oh Pioneers by Willa Cather might be good. I haven’t read it yet but I want to. 😊

[@mitzireadsandwrites]

Oh yes! I hadn't thought of Oh Pioneers, but that's definitely related!

[@user-km7fu7su1d]

Estherjane here! Looks like a great month ahead for you. I agree, Sarah, the Bookishknitter will be happy.😊

[@mitzireadsandwrites]

Yes! I love Sarah! She's such a sweetheart!

[@starlasell5698]

❤📚❤️ I read The Villa by Rachel Hawkins in memory of Jenny at the end of January. This month my two challenge books include A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles and The Tenderness of Wolves by Stef Penney. Good luck with your February reads. 😊

[@mitzireadsandwrites]

Let me know what you think of A Gentleman in Moscow. I think it's on my book cart!

[@starlasell5698]

@mitzireadsandwrites HI Mitzi. I am on page 278 right now and loving it. I've heard mixed reviews. Maybe because it's a slower read. The humor, the friendships, the found family ...it has me hooked!

[@theresas709]

I really liked The Murder on the Links.

[@mitzireadsandwrites]

I think they made a new adaptation of that one. Have you seen it?

[@theresas709]

@@mitzireadsandwrites No, I didn't know that. I will have to check it out.

[@cajunpeachreads]

Mitzi I know it was on a different video but I missed commenting on that one. I am so sorry about your dog. It is so hard and my heart just hurts for you going through that.

[@mitzireadsandwrites]

Thank so much for taking the time to comment this. I just miss her so much. She was just the sweetest, easy going little friend and I wish everyone could have known her. ❤

[@amyc1752]

I LOVE the covers of those Melody Carlson books! I have that exact edition of the Flight of the Falcon but haven't read it yet. Excited to hear your thoughts. I just finished Miss Buncle Married yesterday (loved it!) and started reading Scarlett, so that'll probably take up most of February for me 😂

[@mitzireadsandwrites]

Oh my goodness, I remember reading Scarlett when it was first released and couldn't put it down! I hadn't even read GWTW yet. 😂I wonder how I'd feel about it now that I have. Guess I need to revisit.

[@hollysimmons1177]

What a great pile of books your reading this month!😊
