What to tell you? I spent February in a tailspin of old memories. To blame it on one singular event would be too simplistic. As they say, it’s complicated. Very. In other news I have been running! Successfully, I might add. February saw 40 miles conquered. Here are the books planned and completed:

• Anna In-Between by Elizabeth Nunez (EB & print).
• Little Havana Blues edited by Julia Poey and Virgil Suarez (EB & print).
• The Crimson Petal and the White by Michael Faber (EB, AB & print).

Nonfiction:

• All Deliberate Speed: reflections on the first half century of Brown v. Board of Education by Charles J. Ogletree, Jr (EB & print).
• Barrow’s Boys by Fergus Fleming (EB & print).
• Rome and a Villa by Eleanor Clark (EB & print).

Early Review for LibraryThing:

• The 21: a journey into the land of the Coptic martyrs by Martin Mosebach (just started reading).

Leisure (print only):

• Migrations: Open Hearts, Open Borders: The Power of Human Migration and the Way That Walls and Bans Are No Match for Bravery and Hope by ICPBS.
• Pharos Gate by Nick Bantock.
