Below is what I planned to read in February and what I did read. Lots of abandons, which I'm not surprised by. The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller - read . it took me a while to finish this book, but I loved reading every minute of it. Highly recommend! The Obelisk Gate by N.K. Jemisin - reading Presence by Amy Cuddy - abandoned . I had plans to read this book but I didn't get to it. I still plan to read it but maybe later. Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie - abandoned . This was a spillover from January. I know I want to read this book one day, but I need to get off my scifi/fantasy kick first.
