Welcome to February’s Monthly Minutes at Midnight!
Here’s the deal: I’ll share the books I’ve obtained, posts of interest from others, giveaways I have happening, and just general random shenanigans. You know I love a shenanigan. Also, covers all link to Goodreads, because I am awesome. As always, I link up with the Wrap Up Round Up, too!
The Books

Shenanigans Since Last Time:
I read 14 books this month. Not terrible, considering it’s a short month!
Quite a good bunch here! Actually- I don’t think I disliked any of them, I dare say nothing even below a 4? 🤯

Fancy & New Since Last I Saw You!
I love looking at pretty covers! So here are some new ones that I have fallen in love with since our last update!
Pretty covers are pretty.
Things we need to talk about at this juncture:
- February flew by, and I feel like I have nothing to say about it? Like what did I even do? Watched The Last of Us. Watched The 100. Watched The Challenge: Ride or Dies. Read those 14 aforementioned books. Went to work. I think that’s all I got? I don’t think I even took any pictures to share with you! Maybe I’ll have more to chat about in March!
Have a great March, loves! Let me know how your month was! Looking forward to anything coming up?

I look forward to your review on a Long Stretch of Bad Days. I really liked it!
I know what you mean, February went by in a flash. I’m glad you had such a good reading month! You’re always ahead of me since you are smart and read the coming month’s books (I’m trying to be like you someday!) and I’ll be reading a bunch of these this month. I’m especially excited for Rubicon and Lone Women😁
So cool that you read all those books and all were good!
Yeah, February did fly (and was also really tough for me, so I’m not mad about it being March now). Look at all those intriguing, gorgeous books! And none below a 4 star? Girl, you are killing it this year! Well done!
I am glad to hear nothing dropped below 4 stars. That’s amazing! I know I have a few 3.5’s and a bunch DNFs
I felt like nothing happened this month either (or at least nothing I remembered, lol), but then I looked back through my planner to fill out the weekly summary page and realized . . . I actually did things and was even *gasp* social! But hey, 14 books means you did A LOT of reading, right? And February’s a good month to chill inside with hot tea and a warm blanket. 🙂 Hope all’s well with you and the kiddos and March has good things ahead!
February was pretty good – actually got out and did some things, and I was in a wedding. Ready for Spring though. lol Camp Damascus is on my list so I hope it’s great. Going to check out some of these other books I haven’t heard of!
Happy March!
Congrats on reading 14 books! One of the reasons I stopped doing monthly wrap ups is because I don’t do anything except work. I didn’t know what to put in the posts!
Sounds like February was just a regular old month for you! That’s not a bad thing! February went fast, but it seemed slow while it was happening. 14 books with none under 4 stars is a really great month. Hope your March is a good one!
Oooo The Blighted Stars sounds good! And so does the Eleven one – which brought me to Escaping Eleven. Added both of those to my tbr!
Rent to Be looks good! I’ll have to add it to my TBR. And I agree that those covers are all really pretty! February did go by really fast. I have a feeling March is going to drag though! Here’s hoping it doesn’t!
And here’s a link to my monthly wrap-up:

Woah Whalefall? Need to see what that’s about. February was weird, huh? Well, for me lol. So many of these books are unfamiliar, which tells me I’m way out of the loop. Blogging slumps…
Hope your March is fab!!
