February has been a slow reading month at my house. Last month I finished another book on The Well-Educated Mind reading list - The Portrait of a Lady. This month I planned to tackle The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn but it's been a month of bad colds and lack of sleep at my house so my WEM reading has been on the back burner. So my goal is to finish the novel in March and move on to the next book on the list, The Red Badge of Courage, by April.I'm making fairly good progress with my other reading challenges though I didn't read as much as I usually do:
I finished three more books for the A-Z Reading Challenge (reading through an alphabetical list of books) so I've read 7 books for this challenge so far.B - Blessed Beyond Measure
I - I am Half-Sick of Shadows
W - The Way of the Wise
Chick-Lit: I've Got Your Number (fun read but a bit heavy handed with the profanity)
Mystery: I am Half-Sick of Shadows
Besides the challenges listed above I also read a few other books this month:
Insurgent - the sequel to Veronica Roth's Divergent
Freefall
Picture Perfect by Janice Thompson
Here's what's coming up for March:
Around the World with Auntie Mame
The Power of Your Words
Flora Thompson: The Story of the 'Lark Rise' Writer
The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry

I recently read Insurgent as well. Roth is really good at cliffhangers, that's for sure. :) I'm not too far into the Alan Bradley mystery series. I think I've read the first three books. My library has all of the ones that are out now, and sometime I would really like to get them all and spend a week reading through all of them. I love Flavia! Happy Reading!
It was a slow reading month here too. I'm hoping to make up for it this month! Great list.
The Way of the Wise looks very, very appealing.
You are really doing great with the classics! I'm trying to focus more on them this year than I have in the past. It's definitely a challenge (just because there are so many books out there that await a read) but it's a fun one!
Good work!
I've got Lark Rise to Candleford but haven't delved in yet.
The A-Z challenge sounds fun! I'd love to do more challenges but I'm usually drowning in review books. I want to read the Divergent series, I keep hearing so much about the books. Happy reading!

I read Huck Finn to the girls after dinner a few years back -- enjoyed it! Yeah, the profanity issue is one reason why a lot of chick lit doesn't appeal much to me. I love "Portrait of a Lady"!!!! Read it several years ago -- even have a daughter named Isabel, although not primarily for that reason :)
