Wrap Up: February 2019

Hello everyone! Even though it’s the shortest month of the year, February seemed to drag on a bit for me. There were times like when I thought it was Saturday, even though it was only Tuesday haha. On the plus side, I read more books than last month.

Books Read

The Things We Learn When We’re Dead by Charlie Laidlaw ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is a subtle retelling of The Wizard of Oz. It tells the story of Lorna Love, an aspiring lawyer, who is hit by a car on the day of the 7/7 bombings. Lorna wakes up in Heaven, or HVN, which is a spaceship. I found this to be a unique read.

The Tea Dragon Society by Katie O’Neill ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Oh my days, I loved this so much! It’s actually the first graphic novel that I have read in full. I adored the art, diverse characters, and cute tea dragons! ❤

The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss ⭐⭐⭐⭐

One of the prompts from the 2019 PopSugar Reading Challenge is A book you see someone reading on TV or in a movie. I chose The Cat in the Hat which is read by Morticia Addams to her son Pubert in Addams Family Values. I can’t believe I never came across this book as a child. Younger me would have loved a rhyming story about an anarchist cat.

I spruced up my blog header and graphics. Apologies that I keep changing it every five minutes! 😊 I wanted to go for a minimalist and consistent look. Plus I was unable to resist these lovely watercolour flower designs which have been kindly shared by Torrie from Fox and Hazel.
