Hi Readers! How was your February? The shortest month of the year really made me feel its every single day quite laboriously. In a nutshell, I read very little. The two books which I read this month were across two days. Otherwise, I have been reading The One Hundred Years of Lenni & Margot by Marianne Cronin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since January was a full social calendar month, I took the role of my well-established homebody for almost the entire February. So, this post is not as happening as the last one. Professionally, I feel like I\u2019m at my lowest. But, then like Rachel Green says, \u201cThere\u2019s rock bottom, then 50 feet of crap, then me.\u201d This is me every day because whatever can go wrong will go wrong, and apparently that\u2019s SOME. THING. EVERY. DAY. Thank you for listening to me rant! Maybe a full social calendar isn\u2019t too bad an idea to let all this out! The only AMAZING highlight was MY FEBRUARY FITNESS CHALLENGE.<\/mark><\/strong> Anyway, now the detailed recap, here you go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~~BOOKS~~<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I read 2 BOOKS across 416 PAGES in February.<\/mark><\/strong> The great thing is that I loved both these books a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~~THE LANTERN OF LOST MEMORIES by SANAKA HIIRAGI~~<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Lantern of Lost Memories is made up of three short stories, where in each one a person has died and is transported to a rest stop which is a photo studio where their photos are developed based on the memories which flash through their eyes before they die. I found all three stories to be unique, with each speaking of different values all relevant to humans in all walks of life. The book is simple in its writing. I loved how I got to understand the characters so well in the span of a few pages. I loved the photography aspect of it as well, and the concept of the lantern.\u00a0I have rated The Lantern of Lost Memories by Sanaka Hiiragi, translated by Jesse Kirkwood at 5\/5 stars!<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
