February Wrap Up 2017!

   February went by fast, and I don't just mean because it was only 28 days instead of 30 or 31. February is always a quick month for me and my family, my sister has a birthday at the beginning of the month and I, at the end, with Valentines Day in the middle. Then this year, being in University I also had reading week. So it all flew by so fast. 

   At the beginning of the month my work finally had their Christmas party, we went to a Brewery where we were able to sample a beer that they had made in the building. We also had a local restaurant come in and make us this amazing meal. I've honestly been debating on doing an adventure in the summer, where I do a downtown tour of Winnipeg and just find all the best local restaurants. Now I just have to find a few people to go on this adventure with me. 

   When Reading Week started, I went to a craft store and bought a bunch of stuff to make bookish candles. So I've made a bunch of sample ones already, I haven't been feeling the designing vibe, but I have been getting everything else worked out. It's been pretty fun. 

   Then this past weekend I went to my first Escape Room, my friend had her birthday party at one. We did one that had the highest "spook' rating, and I was pretty spooked when we started out but eventually my competitiveness won over and I rushed to get all the clues done. 

   Overall it was a good month, I didn't get a whole lot of reading done, but it was a good month. Hopefully next month is just as good, but with even more reading done!

   Now for the stats!

February TBR Pile

   Last month I started a new monthly feature, I started a monthly TBR pile feature. I picked out a bunch of books that I would attempt to read, and eventually review. And to my surprise, it turned out better than I thought it would! I actually completed 6/8 of the books, and even add another book for University. So I'm definitely going to continue with this feature! So without further ado, my TBR for February!

February TBR Pile

Truthwitch by Susan Dennard (Paperback)

   And that's my TBR for the month! I know it's a bit longer than last month, but I figured since I have Reading Week Break, that it'd be easy peasy. Plus, one of them is a novella. So lets hope for the best and see how many get read!
