February 2019 Reading Bingo Challenge

February 2019 Reading Bingo Challenge
 How did January go? Life just seems to keep piling up, but reading continues to provide some balance to the chaos.

Just like January, February has two different versions of the challenge. On the board, there's an option for a blind date with a book. Several libraries have programs where they wrap up books and leave a detailed explanation of the book on the front. You pick one and take it home to read. A few book stores do it as well. If neither of those options are available to you, grab a friend, and trade your favorite books with each other.
Things around here have been quiet since C is in the throws of busy season, but things are still jam-packed with things to do to prep for the arrival of baby #2.

January Reading Round Up

I completely failed this month at keeping up with the challenge. I did finish

 
I reread books constantly. I've read Harry Potter more times than I can count. It's always been a problem with some people though. People used to complain about it to me all the time in high school. Now my husband just laughs because I get so into the books and my reactions are funny I guess.

I did start Throne of Glass based on a friend's recommendation. There's no way I'm finishing by the end of today, but I figure I'll add my next read on here too.

I spent two weeks visiting my parents in Chicago, so I wasn't too busy to read. I just got distracted by a new website/app I found.
I had seen a lot of ads for Lore Olympus and thought I'd check to see if the app really cost something like the comments said or if you could read for free. Once I realized it was, I got hooked on several comics. The first nine are ones I subscribed to regularly and the bottom ones are ones I was just investigating. I binge read them but hit a wall once I caught up to where the last updates were. Most update weekly, but some more often than that. What's great is they're all fairly clean (some language and violence).

What are some of your favorite reads from this month? Are you the kind of person who rereads books or is one read through enough for you? Leave your comments below!
