Monthly Wrap-up – February 2022

Posted on March 1, 2022 by fantasyst95

Hello everyone and welcome to today’s monthly wrap-up for February. Up until just yesterday I was planning on combining this post with my March TBR (as I combined my wrap-up and TBR last month), however I feel like that post got a little long.

I’ve been thinking about a particular author quite a lot this week, and

Posted on February 8, 2022February 7, 2022 by fantasyst95
