glacier_kittyA book featuring a man-made disaster: Midnight in Chernobyl: The Untold Story of the World's Greatest Nuclear Disaster by Adam Higginbotham (Feb. 1-8). Well that was depressing..pretty much nothing went right in that situation D:
A book that features two languages: The Galaxy, and the Ground Within by Becky Chambers (Feb. 9-14). Omg I love this series so much, and I'm sad this is the last one in the series. :( I did read she's starting on a new sci-fi series though, which I will probably read..she's such a good author!
A book about a secret: In the Dark by Loreth Anne White (Feb. 15-21). Yess a trapped in the wilderness in a derelict cabin (one character had a four-post bed! Cool haha) mystery! I really want to read And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie, because the plot was deliberately (set up by one of the characters) based on the book
A book featuring a party: Up to This Pointe by Jennifer Longo (Feb. 22-26). The author said she researched Antarctic history, but said the Discovery sank and Scott's men were trapped in a cabin. Ummm..no, that was the Endurance, and Shackleton's men were trapped on the ice. She also said a quote by Cherry was said by another expedition member..the book lost a star rating for that lol. The first sentences were amusing though: "The thing about Antarctica that surprises me most? The condoms. They're absolutely everywhere. LOL nice :P
