*Platypire Read-A-Thon* February

It's a new month which means it's time to update my Platypire Read-A-Thon list again. In January I got an idea for a super secret project that I intend to start in the nearish future, but first I have to fulfill all of my reviewing commitments that I've made in the past (ARCs that I actually accepted and Netgalley requests I've made are at the top of my list of requirements before I can start my super secret project.) With that in mind, I will be making the books bold that I absolutely have to read before I can start my project, and trying to focus on those books entirely this month. We shall see how I do.

So I have 32 books that I absolutely have to read before I start my super secret project. At my current rate of book consumption, and because I will surely stray from my list a little, this will take me at least three months. I guess I need to step up my game and see if I can complete it in two! I would also like to point out, I only added 10 books this month (which is 3 less than I read last month) so if I can keep that up, I will actually start to make a dent in my list this year!) - Katie
