Required Reading: February 2013


Hey everyone! Is it just me, or did January completely fly by? Well, time keeps moving, and there are plenty of good things ahead.

Back in the group, we have a new theme for February. Go ahead, take a guess...
Ding, ding, ding! You guessed it—Romance! It’s that time of year to unleash our inner romantics.

Before we dive into February, here is a quick recap of how my January Reading Challenge went:
  1. Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli — 4/5 ★

  2. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury — 3/5 ★

  3. Love, Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli — 4/5 ★

  4. Merry Christmas, Alex Cross by James Patterson — 4/5 ★

  5. No Strings Attached by Mina V. Esguerra — 4/5 ★

  6. Grave Goods by Ariana Franklin — 4/5 ★

  7. The Dracula Dossier: A Novel of Suspense by James Reese — Currently on page 250
As for The Dracula Dossier, I promise to finish it today or early tomorrow! ^.^)

      Hi Bennard!
      Truth be told, I've read this a long while ago via The New Yorker. I can't say if I liked or not, since I can only remember bits and pieces of the story. This time, I'm going to read the novel. Will let you know. :)
