Welcome to my February Reading List! My goal for each month is to read at least ten books as well as dipping into the five books at the end of this post, so that by the end of the year, these five can be added onto my yearly total. I am determined to read 150 books this year. I had this goal last year, but because of my master’s degree I only managed 39 which is pitiful! These are the books I read this month.
A Note About Colour Codes
You’ll notice that I have coloured the list of books. Firstly, the beige books denote fiction books. I am not keen on fiction books as a rule. In 2023 I read 100 books and over 60 of them were non-fiction. I had to work really hard at getting in the fiction I did read and I tended to find an author I liked and then read a few of their books. This year, I want to throw my net wider, so to speak, and try out lots of different authors and genres. So, my goal is that at least half of my books are fiction books and I shall try to read books from different authors.
Next, I have used a pinkish colour to denote the non-fiction. I literally never struggle to find non-fiction books I want to read because there are so many things I am interested in!
And lastly, I have used a violet colour for the books I shall be dipping in and out of all year. These are likely to be non-fiction (at least the ones I’ve noted below are) and are mainly nature themed books created to be read over each month or season, rather than being read all at once.

There are also books that I’m going to be dipping into each month. These are books I have either read multiple times over the course of my life and I just love rereading them, or they are part of an ongoing set which brings out a new volume each year. By the end of the year they will be completed but as they track the months and seasons of the year, I’ll not be reading ahead, as it were. However, I’ll be adding them to each of my posts, just in case anyone else is interested in reading them.
