Monthly Wrap Up: February 2015

The last wrap up I wrote was at the very beginning of February while I was at ALA Midwinter in Chicago. February completely got away from me  - I can't believe it's already March 1st! While I felt completely disorganized and pretty out of it this month, I did get a fair amount of reading done. As I put together this post, in which I link to most books I read this month, I realized my MG reading was on the light side. I'm thinking this was because I was in a bit of YA slump in January, so when I hit a good streak I was too excited to stop! That said, I need to up my MG reading in March to balance things out a bit. As far as Picture Books, I only included yet-to-be-published titles in this particular post for the sake of length... and my sanity. I read a good number of already published titles as well, but I'll cover those bit by bit in my Storytime posts. 

I hope you all had productive reading months as well! Or - if not productive - that you at least got to read some fantastic books!
