Danielle's February Reads and Book Hauls

Hello my loves! Shortest month, big month! I read 10 books, DNF'd 1 at the 160 page mark, but added 13 books to my queue. (My "reduce the TBR" challenge has, um, not gone well, guys.) I read 3410 pages with an average rating of 3.8 and I spent $48.98 on books, which is pretty darn good! I'm feeling really good about my reading choices, which are more a mix of "review books" and "me books" than last year. I find Bingo really helps because it give me a reason to read "me books". (2 more Bingos in February!)

Personally, I'm still having ups and downs, (which is why all five reviews below link to GR. I just haven't had the energy to format them,) but I have a doctor's appointment and I'm hoping a med adjustment will help. Life's a little hectic as my husband has gone from part-time minimum wage job to a 50-hour a week salaried position!!!! It does mean a complete redistribution of chores and time together, so I might be around a bit less as we settle in. In non-book obsessions, I bought a Wii-U and am so obsessed with the new Mario and Citizen's of Earth. Like "6-hours on my day off when I should be cleaning" obsessed. Do I have any gamer followers? What should I buy next?
