-Olympics. Usually the olympic games are held in february, so read a book where sports play a big part.
- The carneval is in february, so a book where there is a masquarade aspect.
- Chinese new year. A book set in China.
- Its the shortest month if the year so read a standalone. NOT a companion or a book set in the same uiverse a completely standalone.
- 29. Sometimes there is only 29 days in february, read a book by a author in his\her late 20s.
- Valentine`s day, read a book involving love. it can be romantic, between siblings, between friends(a.e platonic) go crazy.

Future China, ancient China, present day China... Doesn't matter which. I mean, the challenge list only says, "China," after all.

Have you read them or are you planning to?
If you read them are they any good?

I read them already.

The Nightingale was really good. A slow starter, but really good once I got in to it. A great read if you're looking for a book set in France, or enjoy books set during WWII in general.

The Valentine's anthology wasn't bad, but I wasn't so impressed with it. There was only one story in it I really liked a lot. The rest were either just "OK" or would have been really good stories if they'd felt like whole short stories rather than just feeling like scenes from longer ones.

The idea is to say what you think of the reads, so others can read them or avoid them.

Might check out The nightingale then, seems like a good read.

I'll try to remember to say what I thought of them when listing them in future. :)

A bit late but:
I loved how to stop time, it was a very interesting plot and twist to immortality curios with how the movie will be, Benedict is playing the lead in it.
I`ve started Fire Storm (Young Sherlock Holmes, #4) by Andy Lane now set in china. Really nice so far.
