21 books this month, 12 from KU, 7 from the library and two from NetGalley.

February was much more consistent, quality-wise. I really liked almost all the books I read, and even the three that had issues were still good enough.

As to where I am with my reading challenge, I have finished 35 books toward my goal of 175 books, which means that I am 8 books ahead of schedule.
So, that’s the current state of my virtual library pile. What do you have out from the library now?

The Library Checkout blog meme was created by Shannon of River City Reading and previously hosted by Charleen of It’s a Portable Magic. It has been hosted by Bookish Beck since 2017.
Last night I finished 1637: The Coast of Chaos and dropped it back at the library today. I’ve also got Project Hail Mary saved on my kindle via airplane mode; which I need to get to. Those are the only library books I currently have out — though I did read book 8 of The Invisible Library from the library earlier this month.
Kindle Unlimited unexpectedly offered me 3 free months so I’ve mostly been catching up on books from there; so not currently planning to pick up anything new from the library for a couple weeks — 40 holds are suspended, 1 ILL request is pending but probably won’t get fulfilled soon, and my only active hold is for Rivers of London’s Amongst our Weapons which isn’t out until mid April.
