Books read in February
Mar. 1st, 2023 02:47 pmA book with "Girl" in the title: Girl in Ice by Erica Ferencik (Jan 29-Feb 2)
A book with a color in the title: Into the Great Emptiness: Peril and Survival on the Greenland Ice Cap by David Roberts (Feb 3-11). I think this is the 10th book I've read that he's written/co-written. Unfortunately it'll be the last, since he died in 2021 :(
A book about an athlete/sport: The Impossible First: From Fire to Ice—Crossing Antarctica Alone by Colin O'Brady (Feb 12-16). I remember writing about this after he finished the crossing! I hoped he would write a book..wish granted. :P On his final day, he did SEVENTY SEVEN miles!!! That's insane! He's broken other records too, like the fastest person to complete the 50 Highest Points in all 50 US States (21 days) and the fastest person to complete the Explorers Grand Slam (reach the North and South poles and the Seven Summits, the highest mountain on each continent) in 139 days. I feel tired just thinking about it :P
A # BookTok recommendation: The Guest List by Lucy Foley (Feb 17-22)
A book published the year you were born: Catwings Return by Ursula K. Le Guin (Feb 23). I didn't like the first book, but I decided to give the rest of the series a chance, which thankfully were better, but not really a favorite series..
The shortest book (by pages) on your TBR list: Wonderful Alexander and the Catwings by Ursula K. Le Guin (Feb 23)
A book where the main character's name is in the title: Jane on Her Own by Ursula K. Le Guin (Feb 24). Impressive that all four of them fit in a topic in the challenge!
( the topics )
25 – Real Bread Week: Real bread refers to any type of bread that has been made without the use of processing aids or any other additives and includes any type of additive-free bread (e.g. pita, paratha, tortilla, oatcakes, roti, bagels, etc.). Do you, or have you ever, made bread? Do you use a bread maker? If you always buy rather than make bread, do you look for bread that at least claims to be additive-free, made from organic flour, etc.? I think I made bread like once when I was a kid. My parents buy the bread, and I doubt it
26 – Carpe Diem Day: Are you good at seizing the day? If not, what holds you back? I used to be. Depression and tiredness these days..
27 – Pokemon Day: Are you or is anybody in your family a Pokemon fanatic? I like playing Pokemon Go, and think they're cute, but I (or anyone else in the family) am not a fanatic
28 – Tooth Fairy Day: Did the tooth fairy visit you whenever one of your baby teeth fell out? If you have children, did/do you have the tooth fairy visit them when they lose teeth? Why or why not? Yep, fun! I don't have kids
March 1 – World Compliment day: Do you think there is still a place in the modern world for unsolicited compliments? Of course, but don't be creepy/untactful!
