Hello and welcome to my February TBR! This year is leap year, which means we get an additional day in February to read. So, this month I am thinking about taking on some of my larger books, with one in particular being a goal.
Ducks, Newburyport by Lucy Ellmann is my Man Booker short list book of the month. As I am writing this I have not finished Girl, Woman, Other, but I am putting the next one on the list on my TBR. This one is truly a hefty book, I could probably use it as protection against a bad person. It is a bit intimidating, but the description sounds really interesting and I am excited to jump in.
Little Children by Tom Perrotta, is on my list this month due Reg picking it out for me to read for my relaunched Someone Picks My Books series. In January I read a book recommended by my aunt, Where the Crawdads Sing and it was a total win, I think this one is going to be as well.

Othello by William Shakespeare, this is another book I am reading for a series this year. Othello is going to be my Shakespeare play of the month. I have decided this year to read a Shakespeare play a month and really determine if I hate his works because I was forced to read them, or they truly are not for me. Last month I read A Midsummers Night’s Dream, you can see my thought on it here: 2020 Shakespeare Challenge | January
The Langoliers by Stephen King, last but not least is a horror I picked up in January and I am very excited to read it this month. Something about the setting being an eerie train just pulled me in. It also just feels like the classic scary monster vibe I have been missing as of late.
While I have only picked four books for my TBR this month, I am planning on reading more, but these are my priority. After I get through these my mood reading can really take off!
Bonus Books
The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern, I was meant to read this last month, but I ran out of time sadly so I want to get to it this month.

Good luck with your TBR; it seems like a good stack of books.
I have like 19 books on my February TBR. I’m really close to finishing A Queen in Hiding by Sarah Kozloff and then will be jumping into Infinity Son by Adam Silvera. I’m focusing on reading a whole bunch of fantasy books this month.

I’m so with you on the “I don’t actually know if I hate Shakespeare thing”! In high school and my first few years in college I despised him and his work but I took an entire course on just him a semester ago and my opinion has been slightly changed. MacBeth with always be the only Shakespeare play I actually care about but Twelfth Night is pretty great too!

Oh, I am really glad to hear that you enjoyed Twelfth Night, I have it on the list to get to this year. But, I am glad, but also sad that I am not the only person to feel this way. I am sad because if it was high school/education that made us all feel this way about him, it kinda stinks.
