It's time again for another reading monthly wrap up. February is the shortest month of the year but I managed to read 14 books. Most of them were books I read as part of a read-a-long with fellow book lovers and of course there are always my ARCs.
Let's see the books now.
No one is too small to make a difference - Greta Thunberg
The title says it all!
In this book we can read the speeches that Greta Thunberg has given the past couple of years. This young activist from Sweden talks simple but full of passion for a topic so important and critical for our lives: The Climate Crisis.
Little People, Big Dreams - Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara
I continue to read these beautiful and inspiring picture books and I love everyone of them. This month I read Vivienne Westwood, Alan Turing and Bob Dylan.
Rating : 5 Stars

This one is a twisted Little Red Riding Hood story where little Red becomes little Rude and she is very rude to everyone. On the contrary we have a very kind Bad Wolf. Beautifully illustrated.

This is a very sweet retelling of the Three Little Pigs story. I liked that the story took place underwater because it made it different from the original. It has also beautiful illustrations.

I do not have words for this book. It is a very powerful book and very different from what I usually read. It is a poetic memoir written in free verse by the author of Speak. In it she talks about rape and sexual assault. It is an important book for any reader and especially those who can relate to #metoo and #timesup movements.
Rating: 4 Stars
These kind of books are right up my alley. I like reading books about books and literature. In this one the author manages to give us all the information we need in only 300 words. It's a great reference book.

This book is different from anything I have read. It is inspired by Bolivian history and politics and it is very well written. I liked the cultural aspects, the magic and of course the food.
Rating : 4 Stars
A full review will follow pretty soon
I read the Greek translation of the book.
This book is a classic introduction to the economic theory and liberalism. It defends capitalism and the concept of the free market.
I liked it but it wasn't one of my favorites on the subject.
Rating : 3 Stars
This is the first Le Guin book I read and I really enjoyed it. It's a SF political thriller that turns to an adventure as the story goes. The book has a dynamic plot and a good character development too.
Rating : 4 Stars

(Crimes in Athens - Ioanna Gelardou)
I read a review copy of this book.
Some parts of the book I really enjoyed and other not at all. I think it will be a good tv show because it is written like one.
Rating: 3 Stars
Check back on 8th March for my stop on the book tour
That's it for me for February.
Have you read any of these books? What did you think?
See you in the next post and don't forget to keep reading!!!
