February has a mind boggling amount of new SFF releases, and it will be impossible to read everything I want to read. And it’s a short month to boot! I’m going to try my best to get to as many of these as possible, though. I’m also listing a few March releases that I plan on reading this month, so yes, it’s going to be busy. Here are the books I’m hoping to tackle:
March releases:
The Paradox Hotel by Rob Hart. Super excited for this! I’m so curious to read Hart’s follow-up to The Warehouse, and I’m seeing some good reviews already.
The Great Witch of Brittany by Louisa Morgan. I just finished this and loved it! Louisa Morgan’s writing style is hypnotic, it’s so easy to sink into her stories. Look for a review next week.
Sisters of the Forsaken Stars by Lina Rather. This is my only novella of the month, but I think it’s going to be a good one:-D
Bluebird by Ciel Pierlot. I will be on the Angry Robot blog tour for Bluebird later in the month, so look for a review then. I’m so curious to read this book, described as “Lesbian Gunslinger fights spies in space!”
Mickey7 by Edward Ashton. I’ve already seen some awesome reviews for this book, and I can’t wait to start it.
The Thousand Eyes by A.K. Larkwood. This is the sequel to The Unspoken Name, but it’s been a few years since I read it. I’m hoping the story comes back to me, because I loved the first book!
Stars and Bones by Gareth L. Powell. I became a big Powell fan after reading Light Chaser last year, so it was a no brainer to add this to my list. I’m on the blog tour at the end of the month as well.
Echo by Thomas Olde Heuvelt. Hopefully this will be the year I cross Heuvelt off my “authors to read” list. This sounds like it could be pretty scary!
Redwood and Wildfire by Andrea Hairston. This historical fantasy was previously published, and now Tordotcom is giving it new life. I think it sounds fantastic!
Good Neighbors by Stephanie Burgis. I’m looking forward to this cozy fantasy romance from the always delightful Stephanie Burgis:-)
Spontaneous Human Combustion by Richard Thomas. I was sent a review copy of this short story collection months ago, so I’m glad I have a good system of keeping track of review books, overwise I probably would have forgotten about this. It’s getting great reviews too!
And a few “can’t wait until March” March releases:
Sundial by Catriona Ward. I’m actually surprised that I haven’t read this yet, but never fear, it’s coming up very soon on the pile.
The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi. Scalzi’s latest takes place during Covid, but I’m still excited to read it.
Wild and Wicked Things by Francesca May. I’ve been neglecting my Orbit review books, for which I feel awful, so I’m making an attempt to read them all early this year if possible:-D
Looks like a great bunch of books on your plate for February! I really wanna know what your thoughts will be on Sundial.
Stephanie @ Bookfever recently posted…Book Blitz: The Teacher’s Assistant by Lara Legend
Me too!! I can’t wait to start it:-)
The new Powell and the new Scalzi are high on my “wanted” list, but I’m quite curious to see what the new book about the “nuns in space” has in store for me… It’s going to be an intriguing two months… 😉
I agree, February and March are going to be epic!
I’m currently reading Steve Stred’s Mastodon. It’s a fun, multi-creature book. But I’m looking forward to Sundial. I love Ward’s beautiful prose!
Priscilla Bettis recently posted…Goodbye, Virginia
Me too, her writing is definitely part of the appeal:-)
Well, you sure know how to make plans!! All these books sound amazing! I really hope tobread the Burgis one in February too, so I am keeping my fingers crossed!!
I’m reading Good Neighbors and it’s fun so far:-)
I can’t wait for The Paradox Hotel! I can’t wait to see what you think of it.
Me too, I hope to start it soon:-)
What an epic month of reading you got yourself! Hope you enjoy as many of these as you can, Tammy! 🙂

Thanks Lashaan!
I’ve preordered Kaiju, and I’m so excited for it! Looking forward to hearing more about Paradox Hotel and Redwood & Wildfire, two I’m interested in. Have a great time with your February books!
Thanks Lisa, it’s bound to be a good month:-)
Robin’s reviewing the Paradox Hotel.
I hope she loves it!
This is ambitious, but fantastic that you are aiming to read all of these this month! Happy reading :))

I know I can’t read them all this month, but I always try:-)
Mickey 7 sounds good. Unfortunately, I have already too many books to read. I did a video for my February TBR: https://wordsandpeace.com/2022/02/02/the-top-12-books-on-my-february-2022-tbr/

I know the feeling, I also have way too many to read…
I had completely forgotten Sisters of the Forsaken Stars comes out this month. Now I really have something to look forward to! 🙂
I’m squeezing it in soon:-)
Lots of fun looking books!!
I agree, thanks Stormi:-)
Can’t wait for new Scalzi! Also very much looking forward to seeing what you think of Mickey7.

I’m excited to start Mickey7:-)
February is when things start to get a little crazy! I’m a little spoiled for choice when it comes to what to read next, there are so many!!!
February is definitely crazy! So is March…
Looks like you have a great month of reading to come 🙂 Looking forward to your thoughts on The Great Witch of Brittany. I have another of Louisa Morgan’s books TBR already but I think I’ll be adding this to my list as well.

She’s one of my favorite authors:-)
I hope all of these are great reads for you. I see several that I’ll really be looking forward to your reviews on.
Thanks Suzanne:-)
I haven’t heard of any of these – I do like the electric blue cover for The Paradox Hotel! I have a few February releases on my TBR but I think I’ll mostly be working on backlist this month.

I’m sort of envious, I wish I had time to read backlist:-)
So many good books. Can’t wait to read Sundial. I’ve actually managed to almost catch up with February reads – but March looks a little – mmmm – humongous. Why can’t I just be more reasonable. I get too excited.

The Thousand Eyes is brilliant, I hope you love it! I didn’t have any trouble getting back into it despite have a terrible memory and never having time for re-reads
Oh Echo is now translated? I have the Dutch edition signed on my bookshelves for a while. I loved his Dutch Hex though. I just can’t get myself to read the changed English version
