booksbydorothea - February 2025 - Monthly Wrap-up

 

Hello, my blogger friends!!

February 2025 was a much better month, with the fire recovery beginning! #LAStrong. Plus, we keep getting rain! I hope and pray that it is an easy fire year!

I continue to read and listen to books to avoid the news and social media. This was a good reading month with THIRTEEN books (audioBOOKS and eBOOKS).

As an update for book tracking apps, I prefer StoryGraph for ease of use, statistical analysis, and tracking hours listened for audioBOOKS. However, Goodreads is where my bookish friends and authors are, so I will keep it for now!


There were seven five-star books: four eBOOKS and three audioBOOKS in February 2025!
