Required Reading: FEBRUARY

Before January even came to a close, I was already contemplating on which books to read for February. This is because I managed to read not just the 3 titles that I've chosen for January's Required Reading challenge, but also because there were a couple of other books that I was able to finish. Yay for me! :)

A round-up of the January books, first.

• Alternative Alamat by Various Authors; Paolo Chikiamco, editor ~ 5/5
• A Pale View of Hills by Kazuo Ishiguro ~ 4/5
• 1984 by George Orwell ~ 4/5

So I got two books with 4-star ratings, and one with a perfect 5 rating. Looks like my choices did not disappoint! Very high ratings indeed. Let's see how the books for February will fare. :)

I don't really follow a specific theme for the books I choose (unlike Tina, who hosts this series), coming up with the titles on a whim. So, for this month, as in the previous ones, what I have lined up are from different genres and have different themes, as well.

• The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides
• The Thief (The Queen's Thief, #1) by Megan Whalen Turner
• Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout

Right now, I am still devouring Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell, which I hope to finish by next week. I am also going to squeeze in The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, (whose last name I still don't know how to pronounce and) which is the book of the month for TFG's F2F discussion on the last weekend of February. Though I'm still not sure if I could make it, I would still want to read the book so I won't be left behind. :)

Psyched and can't wait to read these books! :)
