This is my second monthly reading round up, and I’m excited to say my goal to read more this year has continued to hold steady. I’m trudging through the fifth Game of Thrones audiobook, which slowed down my reading the first half of the month, but I still got some great books in. I’m in a bit of a romantic comedy and mythological retelling kind of mood this month, as you can see with a few of my February reads here!
I’ve always been a reader, even if I fell out of the habit a bit during law school. Since 2022, I’ve been putting in extra effort to get back into reading for pleasure, and I am starting this year off strong! While I share specific book reviews on Cats & Coffee, I thought a monthly round up of everything I read would be a fun way to share even more great books with you, my fellow readers. This month, I’ve read some great historical fiction novels, including some time travel and sci-fi options!

There are a few greats in the historical fiction world, and Alison Weir is certainly one of them. Weir is a British author and historian, focusing on English royal women. Largely, her work focuses on the Tudor dynasty. Writing both fiction and non-fiction, Weir creates well-rounded, robust characters out of what might otherwise simply seem like historical names. And Weir’s Six Tudor Queens series is no exception. I’ve devoured this series over the past few months and am eager to share about it here!
