Goodreads Reading Challenge 2026 [February]

February was a slow month for me. I only read four books. Well, five, actually, if you count re-reading Odd Thomas. (I was showing solidarity to a coworker who was reading it for the first time but knew it would break her heart because she’d seen the movie.)

Anyway, here are the books I completed! I’ve gotta get back on track in March.

1. Society of Lies (Lauren Ling Brown)

Rating: 3.5/5

2. Local Woman Missing (Mary Kubica)

Rating: 3.5/5

3. Neverwhere (Neil Gaiman)

Rating: 4.5/5

4. People We Meet on Vacation (Emily Henry)

Rating: 3.5/5

***

I am currently reading The Homewreckers (Mary Kay Andrews) and An Unwanted Guest (Shari Lapena).

Progress: 11/80

Five Songs I’m Obsessed With [2/16 – 2/22]

I’m allowing myself an Honorable Mention again, because I really dig this track but can’t replace any of the others.
