FEBRUARY 2022 WRAP-UP

With the world events, I debated sharing about the books I have read.
Praying is definitely more important than reading at this point, but I guess some of you may experience comfort in the usual routine, so here we go.

February had only 28 days, so it seemed I read less. In fact, my average page per day was higher than in January, and I also had more listening time for audiobooks.

So far, I have managed to review everything.

📚 Here is what I read in February:

12 books:
9 in print 
=  with 2,082 pages, a daily average of 74 pages/day
3 in audio
= 40H05, a daily average of 1H25

1. Intuitio, by Laurent Gounelle – French audio
2. Gataca [Bred to Kill], by Franck Thilliez – French audio
