Month in Review: February 2011

Posted by: The Book Vixen

Wow, is it just me or did February just pass by in a blink of an eye? It’s a short month so I guess it makes sense. I didn’t get as much reading done as I would have liked (I still have some stuff going on in my personal life.) I’ve been sick lately and I haven’t been in the mood to read much. Enough whining from me, onto the recap!

1. The Iron King by Julie Kagawa – 3 frogs
2. Pink by Lili Wilkinson – 2 frogs
