February is the shortest month of the year, and I certainly felt that! It was a whirlwind month, with a visit from my cousin Carmela and her friend Abby keeping me pre-occupied for a huge chunk of it. I also hosted this year's Love-a-Thon, which was such a success because of the eager participation + endless positivity of the participants involved! Other than that, it's been snow and cold and rain... Anyone else want to petition Winter to pack up its bags and leave?
WHAT I DID
Like I mentioned already, my cousin Carmela was in town! It was such a treat to have her here, since I grew up with her being like my third little sister. We went to see the sights, had some yummy meals and basically just got to hang out together for some much-needed quality time. Other than that, I hibernated a ton, and did a dance of giddy joy when my husband got me a Kindle for Valentine's Day. l And the month ended on two high notes - the incredible Love-a-Thon experience this year, and Apollycon with the one and only Rachel (recap will be up on Monday)!

I picked up the pace a little bit in February for Flights of Fantasy, and read three fantasy novels for February. As I mentioned last month, I wanted to read the Sevenwaters series, so it will surprise no one to learn that the novels I read are all part of that series: Daughter of the Forest, Son of the Shadows and Child of the Prophecy. If you've done an update post for February, please link up below so that Rachel and I can check them out!
I'll link up tomorrow! I think I skipped January??
