My Own Little Book Corner

 Another month of good books.   In February I read 11 books and 8 of them were above average.  I read mysteries, historical fiction, a short story, family drama and literary fiction.   I try to get a non-fiction in each month, but didn't this time.   My favorite was "These Silent Woods".  A close second was "The House We Grew Up In". When you read my reviews you will see that these books are not alike at all, but they each were well written stories that will stay with me.  My other 5 star book was "Finlay Donovan is Killing It".   A lighter read that kept me entertained. My February read for my 12 Books in 12 Months challenge was "Uprising".  It was recommended by Kaci and was a good one.   I wouldn't have even known about it if it weren't for her and I'm glad it was.   Two other books I heard about on the Currently Reading Podcast - "These Silent Woods" and "One Two Three".   Two other good recommendations.

January ended with 12 books read.   I started the month with a book about Mississippi - mainly Natchez, and ended it with a book about Mississippi.   The first was true stories about Natchez, including a back story of a prince who was a slave.   The last one was about justice for the civil rights workers who were killed in the state.   In between these books I read about abuse, war, murder, dreams, kidnappings, friendships, parenting, and writing books.   I traveled by planes, trains, automobile and boat.   I met some unforgettable characters and some that I will soon forget. I had 2-5 star books.  All of them were average or above,   So it was a great start.
