February TBR Lists

 

Oh look, it's almost two weeks into the month and I'm only just posting our TBR lists...that makes a change eh? Ha! 

It's not even a surprise at this point, especially when I could only manage to get two posts up in the whole of January. At least we are beating that this month so far! 
If you wonder what all our time is spent on you can check on my other two blogs - Underland to Wonderland and Adventures of the Hallows - and of course on top of that Mr H is always at work and I have a household with 10 animals to take care of...not as easy as it seems!
Anyway, this is about our February TBR lists, so here they are. 

Mr H TBR List
Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman [TBR Jar] - 435 pages
Infernal Devices by Philip Reeve - 435 pages

Page Total - 870 

Mrs H TBR List
The Ickabog by JK Rowling - 282 pages
The Ruby in the Smoke by Philip Pullman [TBR Jar] - 209 pages

Page Total - 491

Yep, only two each for this month. Considering the fact that I have more time to read than Mr H, he has actually completed 4 (nearly 5) good-sized books, whereas I've only just completed 4 including 2 audiobooks! Therefore I at least want to try and get myself caught up...if that's possible!

February TBR Lists

January was a crazy month. And not good crazy. It seems that since we got married life has been a roller coaster of good and bad moments and when things are like that, extracurricular activities (ie. this blog) have to just get forgotten about. I even considered just deleting the blog altogether but we're going to keep it going a little while longer...
From now posts won't be on specific days and there won't always be two a week as I personally also post on my photo blog Adventures of the Hallows twice a week too! Pop over there to see what our life looks like through daily photos.
But for now, here is our To Be Read lists for February!!

Mr Hallow's TBR List

Lord of Chaos by Robert Jordan - 993 pages

Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code by Eoin Colfer [Mrs' pick] - 329 pages

- Page total: 1322

Mrs Hallow's TBR List

The Call of the Wild by Jack London - 199

The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman [Mr's Pick] - 341

The Toy Makers by Robert Dinsdale [TBR Jar Pick] - 468

- Page total: 1008

------

We thankfully were still able to get a normal amount of reading done in January despite the busyness and set our yearly reading goals, taking our previous year into account, at 30 for Mr H and 36 for Mrs H. There was a planned post talking about our goals etc but meh, there they are! 

That being said, this is sort of why I've decided to include the page totals for our TBR. If we chose 3 books at 500 pages each we are less likely to get through more of the books we want to read. However if we space them out with a big one and some smaller ones together each month, surely it'll be more manageable?!

To end this post I thought I'd include the 'outtakes'. Enjoy.
