February was a big mammoth of books for me. It was also rather hectic off the page, as I’ve been hanging about in Adelaide since the start of the Fringe Festival, and it’s still another week before I head back to Perth. It’s been fabulous being home in good old Rads. I’ve seen a bunch of incredible shows (The Events has been my top pick so far, and I’m crazy excited to see Deluge when it opens next week). I also listened to some of my favourite authors talk books at Writers’ Week (where I shamelessly fangirled all over Lauren Groff and Robert Dessaix) and visited some rather wonderful new cafes, restaurants and cellar doors. In short, the full Adelaide experience. I’ve even squeezed in a trip to the museum. I’ve done a lot of writing (praise be: the block has lifted), a lot of reading and a fair chunk of reviewing, especially considering everything else that’s been going on. Still, many books to write about when I’m back in Perth and recovered from festival fever.

Elizabeth Strout’s My Name is Lucy Barton was my stand out read of the month, followed by Justine Larbalestier’s My Sister Rosa. But there were some other great titles in the mix too. Take a peek:

	The Revenant Michael Punke Genre: Historical fiction Read the review.
	My Name is Lucy Barton Elizabeth Strout Genre: Literary fiction Read the review.
	My Sister Rosa Justine Larbalestier Genre: Young Adult Read the review.
	Find Her Lisa Gardner Genre: Crime Read the review.
	The Case of Lisandra P. Helene Gremillon Genre: Literary fiction/crime Read the review.
	Not If I See You First Eric Lindstrom Genre: Young Adult Read the review.
