February 2011 In Review

It's been quite a month here at Feeding My Book Addiction! I reviewed an ARC for Free Press, participated in my first blog hop, entered my first readalong, had an author Q & A with Jason Letts, and even hosted my first giveaway! 

(Psst. It's not too late to enter to win a copy of Jason Letts' e-book Inevitable. Check out the Author Interview with Jason Letts blog post, follow Feeding My Book Addiction, and leave a comment on the post. That's it!) 

So, let's get down to business, shall we? 

Here's what I read during the month of February: *Numbering starts where I left off last month*

16. It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini
17. Major Pettigrew's Last Stand by Helen Simonson
18. Decision Points by George W. Bush
19. In the Sanctuary of Outcasts: a memoir by Neil White
20. Fools Rush In (Weddings by Bella Book #1) by Janice Thompson
21. The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott by Kelly O'Connor McNees
22. Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
23. The Story of Stuff: The Impact of Overconsumption on the Planet, Our Communities, and Our Health - And How We Can Make it Better by Annie Leonard
24. Saving CeeCee Honeycutt by Beth Hoffman
25. Comedy in a minor key by Hans Keilson
26. Starstruck: The Business of Celebrity by Elizabeth Currid-Halkett
27. Living Large: From SUVs to Double Ds, Why Going Bigger Isn't Going Better by Sarah Z. Wexler
28. Fraser's  Penguins: A Journey to the Future in Antarctica by Fen Montaigne

Stats:

• 28 books out of 123 books (my 2011 goal): 22 percent complete

• 4 books out of 40 books (number of books to read from my own collection): 10 percent complete

• Number of pages read (excluding indexes and appendices I don't read): 8,265 pages

At this rate, I could meet my reading goals by October! 



In other Feeding My Book Addiction news, I signed up for my first readalong at Allie's blog A Literary Odyssey. The Book for March and April is Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. I read this book about five years ago and loved it. It's also on my 'to read' pile in anticipation of seeing Part I of the film adaptation in April. It's not too late to sign up for the readalong and I'm sure it will be a lot of fun. My blog post on Part 1 of Atlas Shrugged will be posted on March 19th. 


That's it for me this month. Stay tuned for more reviews and bookish conversation at Feeding My Book Addiction!
