♞ Pat Gent | 347 comments Pat's Pretty Much Concrete Reading Plan

My By The Month Challenge had a significant number of rollover books in January, so I'm limiting as much as possible to books that were published or added to my TBR in February of any year.

I also have three NetGalley books to read this month. It's a lot, and I won't get it all done, but hopefully I can punch a big hole in it!

1.1 ~ The Half Moon by Mary Beth Keane It's Not a Cult by Lauren Danhof For NetGalley Challenge
1.2 ~ The Rope (Anna Pigeon, #17) by Nevada Barr
1.3 ~ Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston or Surviving Savannah by Patti Callahan
1.4 ~ The Likely Resolutions of Oliver Clock by Jane Riley
1.5 ~ Love Medicine by Louise Erdrich + (bonus book?) For PAS Prime Task
1.6 ~ Amazing Grace Adams by Fran Littlewood For NetGalley Challenge
1.7 ~ The Swimmers by Julie Otsuka + (bonus book?)
1.8 ~ Eternal by Lisa Scottoline (for 2 points)
1.9 ~ A Tiny Upward Shove by Melissa Chadburn (option C)
1.10 ~ The Holdout by Graham Moore

2.1 ~ all six selections fit the By-The-Month rollover challenge
2.2 ~ The Thief (The Queen's Thief, #1) by Megan Whalen Turner & The Family by Naomi Krupitsky (YLTO Puzzle Challenge)
2.3 ~ Caleb's Crossing by Geraldine Brooks or March by Geraldine Brooks & The Secret Chord by Geraldine Brooks For the 15 for 15 Prompt 3 Task
2.4 ~ The Cat Who Saved Books by Sōsuke Natsukawa & Seven Perfect Things by Catherine Ryan Hyde

3.1 ~ Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus by Dusti Bowling To the Edge of Sorrow by Aharon Appelfeld The Queen of Hearts by Kimmery Martin

5.1 ~ Only Child by Rhiannon Navin A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World by C.A. Fletcher Oona Out of Order by Margarita Montimore The Magdalen Girls by V.S. Alexander The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
