Hi everyone! It’s time for my February tbr and I’m very excited to read the books I picked. Most of the books I’ll be reading in February are books by Black authors because February is Black History Month; I also included on my tbr the book pick of the Month for the Latinx Book Club, which is a book by an Afro-Latinx author; and lastly, I included 3 of my most anticipated releases of the year.
As I did in my January tbr, I have a list below with the goals and challenges that I want to keep track of in 2020 and I chose an emoji that represents each one. Next to each of the books on my tbr, I’ll put the emoji of the goal or challenge that that book is going to help me fullfil.
- Read 20 fantasy books in 2020 (🔮)
- Read 35 books by Latinx authors in 2020 (🔥)
- Keep reading diverse books: by Asian authors (☁️), by black authors (🌞), other #ownvoices rep (🌈)
- Read 50 books by the #StartOnYourShelfathon challenge (⭐)
- Read the 20 books on my tbr for the #StartOnYourShelfathon challenge (💫)
- Read a book from a genre that’s not fantasy or romance (🦄)
Without further ado, here is my Febraury tbr:
🔮⭐💫🌞 The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin: This book has been on my tbr for so long, I have heard nothing but great things and I’m excited!
🌞⭐🦄 Binti: The Night Masquerade by Nnedi Okorafor: I read the first two books in this series almost two years ago and I need to finally read the conclusion to the story.
🔥🌞⭐🦄 American Street by Ibi Zoboi: I’m reading this for the Latinx Book Club, which I co-host on Twitter and Goodreads
🌞 ⭐A Duke by Default by Alyssa Cole: I have read and liked two books in this series, so I’m excited to read this one, especially aince it seems to be the favorite of a lot of my friends
🔥🌞The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa: one fo my most anticipated releases of the year since I love Mia Sosa’s Love on Cue series. Release date: Fabruary 4th
🌞 ⭐🦄Queenie by Candice Carty Williams: This has been on my tbr for a year but the synopsis is resonating a lot with where I am in my life right now, so I can’t wait to read it.
🔮The King of Crows by Libba Bray: The Diviners Series is one of my all time favorite series and I can’t wait to read the final book. Release date: February 4th
🔮🔥 We Unleash The Merciless Storm by Tehlor Kay Mejia: The first book in this series was one of my favorite books of 2019, so I can’t wait to see what happens next. Release date: February 25th
Dominik by Sawyer Bennett: This is the sixth book in this series and I have really enjoyed the previous books, so I’m really excited for this one. Release date: February 18th
I read the first two Binti books a few years ago as well and never got around to the third, but I hope I’ll be able to reread and complete the series this year.
And I don’t know if I can do that in February (…exams, very little time) but I’d love to reread American Street, I really liked it when it came out but and I’d love to revisit. I hope you like it too!

I just checked out Queenie today! It sounds really good. I’ve also been meaning to read the Binti trilogy.

I actually don’t know anyone who has read Queenie, so I’m going in just based on the synopsis, I’m hoping I’ll love it. I hope you enjoy the Binti Trilogy, I really liked the first two books in the series.

I think Lauren and the Books on YouTube read it and talked about it a little last year.
