Monthly Wrap Up | February 2026

Welcome to the Monthly Wrap Up hosted by Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction and Shannon @ It Starts At Midnight to share our monthly wrap-up posts that summarizes our month in books, our favorite books of the month, what we did on our blogs, and anything noteworthy we want to share.

February 2026 Wrap Up

February went by too quickly! I completely reorganized my workspace this month and it took up a whole week and a half, which is basically almost half the month! I still have little bits and pieces to clean up but at least I can actually use the space now. It made a short month feel even shorter, but I did manage to read a lot of good books anyway.

My February 2026 TBR Intentions

Yeah, I didn’t do so well reading from my TBR in February because of the mental load of reorganizing, but I did end up reading a lot of good books and even got one single nonfiction in!

Notable Books This Month

Dolores Claiborne by Stephen King, and The Good Sister by Sally Hepworth were just pure enjoyment for me this month. It was the storytelling – both books were different to each other, but it was just the way the stories were told. I felt completely immersed and felt all the feelings.

The Hummingbird by Stephen P. Kiernan also made a huge impact on me. It’s a reread, but it’s been a while and I’d forgotten everything except the impression it made on me the first time. It hit me harder this time around and I’ll probably talk about it more in a review soon.

And of course, Dare to Lead by Brené Brown makes the list because I love everything she puts out and this is no different. I finished the book in a single sitting, and I’ve restarted the book again because I want to savor it this time around.

March 2026 TBR Intentions

I’m keeping this month’s list short because the Sherlock Holmes collection is massive at 72 hours, or 1796 pages, and two of the other books on the list are nonfiction that require more attention.

1. Sherlock Holmes: The Definitive Collection by Arthur Conan Doyle
2. The Glass Château by Stephen P. Kiernan
3. The Mind-Gut Connection by Emeran Mayer, MD
4. This Is What It Sounds Like by Susan Rogers and Ogi Ogas

How was your month in February? What were your most memorable bookish moments? I hope you have a wonderful March with lots of great books!
