February Wrap-Up and March TBR

Another month has fled from our hands for good. It's funny how you rarely think about that the time we have lived we'll never get back. There won't ever be a February 2018 ever again. Too deep? Back to lighter business...

Review: Crossing Into Brooklyn

'' ''You went to Brooklyn?'' ''

★★★★☆

From Goodreads:
To Find Your Future, You Have to Face Your Past
At sixteen, Morgan Lindstrum has the life that every other girl wants--at least from the outside. A privileged only child, she has everything she could ever want, except her parents' attention. A Princeton physicist and a high-powered executive, they barely have any time for each other, much less for Morgan. Then her beloved grandfather dies, depriving Morgan of the only stable figure in her life. If that's not enough, she suddenly finds out he was never her grandfather at all. To find out the truth about her family, Morgan makes her way to Brooklyn, where she meets Terence Mulvaney, the Irish immigrant father who her mother disowned. Morgan wants answers; but instead of just satisfying her curiosity, Mulvaney shows her the people in his condemned tenement building, who are suffering and have nowhere to go. He challenges her to help them, by tearing away the veil of shame, and showing her wealthy parents and her advantaged circle of friends a world they don't want to know exists. The temptation to walk away from this ugly reality, as her mother did, is strong. But if she does, can Morgan ever really leave behind what she learned when she crossed into Brooklyn?

When your own family won't give you the answers you desire, you must seek them from somewhere else. Morgan's mother is absent a lot, her father engrossed in his studies, neither of them talking to each other. So when a relative dies and bits and pieces of never heard before information filters into Morgan's ears, she can't help herself to leave the matter alone. 

January Wrap-Up and February TBR - PART 2

Here's the Part 2 for January Wrap-up and February TBR. The post started to get a bit too long, so I decided to split it in two. If you haven't read the first part and want to do it, click the link for a shortcut.


And if you are coming from Part 1, hi again.

So what to expect from the month of February? A lot.

I have already read a few books, and the reviews will be up in the upcoming week or so. I am to write two reviews a week, appearing about two or three days apart. Three if I haven't had time to read much and two if there are many books already read and just waiting to be reviewed.
