Here’s the list for February. This month I read a few graphic novels and actually finished two actual books. The rest were audiobooks. I have an addiction to listening to audiobooks,. They remind me of my childhood when my mom would read to me. I also used to love story time at the library. Audiobooks takes me back to those times. I also love the fact that I can take the story anywhere I go.

1. Invincible : Eight is Enough – Robert Kirkman & Corey Walker. (graphic novel)

2. Invincible: Perfect Stranger (same as above)

3. The String Diaries – Stephen Llyod Jones (audiobook)

4. The Interior Silence – Sarah Sands (audiobook)

5. Shook One – Charlamagne Tha God (audiobook)

6. Create Dangerously – Edwidge Danticat (book)

7. Getting to Happy – Terry McMillan (audiobook)

8. Humans of New York – Brandon Stanton (book)

I have been trying to broaden my reading interest. I usually only read crime or mysteries. So this year I am going for books like biographies, art books, and fiction outside of crime novels. I also realize that I am now a much slower reader. It takes me way longer to finish an actual book. I know it’s because I have to sit still, hold the book and read. That takes away from my creating, which I can easily do with audiobooks. I am trying to dedicate at least 30 minutes a day to actually sitting down and reading. It hasn’t taken on the form of a habit yet. But I will keep trying.
