February was a crazy busy month! I had tons going on in February mostly cool stuff. As a result I didn't read as much this month. I read a grand total of one book and one novella! Reviews and Ratings can be found in my previous blog posts for your reading pleasure!  2016 Goodreads Reading Challenge Update: My goal is to read 34 books in 2016. So far I have read 10 of 34 books! I am currently 5 books ahead of schedule. If I continue at this rate it is very possible that I will reach my reading challenge goal well before the end of the year! :)

I also liked the story line and that it is a clean read. In my opinion it is most suitable for younger re...

Great Short Poems   by   Paul Negri   (Editor)   Bea 's review 2 out of 5 stars! it was ok Read from January 06 to 09, 2016 There was a handful of poems I enjoyed but I struggled to get through this one.
