For February 2015, I read the following titles (with links to blog posts about said book where there is one):

The Mezzanine – Nicholson Baker (F)

Packing for Mars – Mary Roach (NF)

Brown Girl, Brownstones – Paule Marshall (F)

March Book Two – John Lewis/Nat Powell (GN-NF)

Funny Girl – Nick Hornby (F) – post to come

Victorian Hospitals – Lavinia Mitton (NF)

• Total number of books read in February: 5
• Total number of pages read: 1,446 pages (av. 289 pages)
• Fiction/Non-Fiction: 1 F and 4 NF
• Library books vs. books I owned (and thus removed from the home abode): 3 library books and 2 owned books. 0 e-books this month. (Total of 8 books off TBR pile this year.)

One special note was that I read some African-American literature (and non-fiction) which was eye-opening and fascinating for me. In case you’re interested and so they are all in one place, here’s the list:

• Like One of the Family – Alice Childress (1954)
• March Book One – John Lewis and Nate Powell (2013)
• March Book Two – John Lewis and Nate Powell (2015)
• Merle and Other Stories – Paule Marshall (1985)
• Brown Girl, Brownstones – Paule Marshall (1959)
• The Clothesline Muse (play/music/dance event)
• 12 Years a Slave – Solomon Northrup (1853) – in progress
• So Long a Letter – Mariama Bâ (1979)  – post to come

(And more titles from POC authors on the way… I am really enjoying finding new titles.)

Goodness gracious me. I seem to not have read as many books as usual… Work has been very all encompassing which helps to explain the low numbers. Several big reports mean two tired eyes at the end of the day!
