Happy February, everyone! January flew by, at least for me. And here we are already in February! Yes, I have a LOT of books on my plate this month, and no, I probably won’t get to all of them. But I always try, and there are so many books I’m looking forward to, I’m going to try extra hard.
February Review Books:
The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey is probably my #1 anticipated February release, and I’ll be starting this very soon.
The Future is Yours by Dan Frey is another highly anticipated book. I’ve heard this is an epistolary novel, a format I really enjoy.
I’ve already read Winter’s Orbit by Everina Maxwell, and wow I loved it! Look for my review tomorrow.
Dragonfly Girl by Marti Leimbach is one of two YA books I’m tackling this month. I’ve been seeing great reviews for this already.
The Minders by John Marrs. I’m hoping this is as entertaining as the last Marrs book I read!
The Witch’s Heart by Genevieve Gornichec. I’ve seen this book compared to Circe (which I haven’t read), so I’m really looking forward to it.
A History of What Comes Next by Sylvain Neuvel. I may have started this already by the time you read this post.
Sun-Daughters, Sea-Daughters by Aimee Ogden. This is my only novella this month, and I’m very curious about this Little Mermaid retelling.
The Moonsteel Crown by Stephen Deas. There is a crime/gang element to this fantasy which really appeals to me.
The Best of R.A. Lafferty edited by Jonathan Strahan. You guys, Lafferty is such a strange writer. I’ve started these stories, trying to read maybe one a day or so, and they are very odd. Anyone out there read him before?
The Russian Cage by Charlaine Harris. This is the third book in Harris’s Gunnie Rose series, and I am looking forward to revisiting these characters:-)
The Project by Courtney Alameda. I missed out of Sadie a couple of years ago, so I’m very curious to check this out.
Only the Broken Remain by Dan Coxon. This is a small press horror collection that I accepted for review, and I’ll try to get to it this month, especially since it’s fairly short.
Amid the Crowd of Stars by Stephen Leigh. There are only a handful of ratings on Goodreads as we speak, so it’s hard to gauge whether I’m going to like this or not. But the story sounds good so I hope I have time to read it.
Here are the books I read and reviewed in January! Click on the titles to read my reviews if you missed any:
In the Garden of Spite by Camilla Bruce
Doors of Sleep by Tim Pratt
The Gulp by Alan Baxter
Hall of Smoke by H.M. Long
The Effort by Claire Holroyde
Remote Control by Nnedi Okorafor
The Witch’s Heart seems good, Tammy. As usual, looking forward to your reviews.

Thanks Debjani, I think there is a lot of potential this month:-)
I read and loved the early Lafferty stories – the ones in Nine Hundred Grandmothers – about forty years ago. I also really enjoyed the novel Fourth Mansions, insane and baffling though it was. I kind of lost touch with him after that, partly because he went through a spell in which all his short fiction featured groups of men (and other entities) hanging out and talking in bars. I got bored with the formula. It’s way past time I dived back in, though. There are literally hundreds of stories of his that I haven’t ever read.
His style is so different from anything I’ve read, I’m curious to see how I feel about him after I finish this collection:-)
I’ve got my eye on The Project by Courtney Alameda but I don’t know when I’ll be able to buy it since February has a lot of releases I want already. It’s crazy!

Yes, February is super crazy!
We definitely have February books in common! For sure Echo Wife and The Future is Yours, and I do really want to get to the Sylvain Neuvel book and Winter Orbit too, at the very least. Enjoy!
It’s going to be a fun month, I think:-)
I’m excited to see what you think of A History of What Comes Next. I’ve seen some not so great reviews.
Happy reading!
Me too, I’m a little worried…
Most of these seem fairly new to me and by authors I’ve not read. But I have read Circe so I’m curious about The Witch’s Heart. Funny how the cover keeps reminding me of Circe, too.
The cover reminds me of Circe too, even though the covers are pretty different. I’m so curious to start it:-)
I don’t know many of your options for February. It’s so hard. No matter how many I read I want it to be more.

It’s so hard, I agree. I want to freeze time and just read!
I love your February book haul, Tammy. As you know, I’ve also got the arc of Winter’s Orbit and I shall also be posting my review tomorrow:)). I also loved it! I’m very jealous that you have a copy of The Russian Cage, which I really want! And The Minders by John Marr… Happy reading!
I look forward to comparing thoughts about Winter’s Orbit:-)
I just finished The Future is Yours and I’ll be starting The Echo Wife soon. Happy reading!
Thanks Lauren, you too!
What a great selection of books! It seems like it’d be hard to go wrong with these ones. I recently finished The Echo Wife and thought it was really interesting. The Witch’s Heart was so good! I’m excited for pretty much all the rest of these, haha. I hope you have a great month!
I’m excited for The Witch’s Heart!
I missed out on reading Sadie, too, but I’m really looking forward to the new one.
I’ve heard some mixed reviews, but I like cult stories so fingers crossed:-)
I’m finishing up The Minders tonight. It’s definitely as interesting as The Passengers! And I hadn’t known it was set in the same world either, so there were some cool references.
Ooh can’t wait!
I recently read Winter’s Orbit too and I loved it as well <3 Still need to sit down to write my review though.
The Moonsteel Crown looks really interesting too

Oh cool! I’m looking forward to your review:-)
Some great looking books on here. Looking forward to the Echo Wife this month.
Lynn 😀
I’m reading it now and it’s very good so far.
Oooh looking forward to hearing about sun daughters sea daughters
I can’t wait to start that one:-)
Oh wow, this IS quite the TBR! I’m excited for The Witch’s Heart. Also, I keep forgetting that I still have to read book 2 of that Charlaine Harris series. I better get on that! Have an amazing February, Tammy!
Thanks Lisa, I hope we both love The Witch’s Heart:-)
Wow, you definitely have a lot of February review books. I just finished The Project a couple of days ago and thought it was pretty interesting.
I’ve been hearing mixed things about The Project. Very curious now…
Lots of cool books to read, hope you love them all!
Me too, thanks Stormi:-)
Some great books here. I’m excited to see what you think of Witch’s Heart. I’m Loki obsessed so I’ll be picking it up. I have also not seen Only the Broken Remain and now I’m really curious about it.
I’ve heard a lot of good things about Witch’s Heart, so I’m optimistic:-)
Looking at your February review books stresses me out. Here I am worried about my 2 (two!) ARCs and you’ve got .. well I didn’t actually count them, but lots!
I still need to finish the Sookie Stackhouse series! Then I’ll let myself try some other Charlaine Harris books. I’m a bit behind according to my Goodreads goal, but am not going to change it just yet. My post is in the link below!
