February 2018 Books Added to the TBR

I have to admit, the books that are being released this February don’t excite me very much. Last February, I got spoiled by the release of Neil Gaiman’s Norse Mythology, George Saunders’ Lincoln in the Bardo, Nichlas Eames’ Kings of the Wyld, Angie Thomas’ The Hate U Give, and Min Jin Lee’s Pachinko. There just doesn’t seem to be anything in this batch that is equal to any of those.

Nevertheless, there are a few books that caught my eye that I’ll be adding to my aspirational TBR stack.

My list for February 2018 is:

1. Force of Nature ~ Jane Harper ~ February 6
2. How to Stop Time ~ Matt Haig ~ February 6
3. Jagannath ~ Karin Tidbeck ~ February 6
4. Semiosis ~ Sue Burke ~ February 6
5. Mission to Methone ~ Les Johnson ~ February 6
6. Starlings ~ Jo Walton ~ February 13
7. Ambiguity Machines and Other Stories ~ Vandana Singh ~ February 13
8. Dreadful Young Ladies and Other Stories ~ Kelly Barnhill ~ February 20
9. The Rending and the Nest ~ Kaethe Schwehn ~ February 20
10. The Sea Beast Takes a Lover: Stories ~ Michael Andreasen ~ February 27
11. A Long Way from Home ~ Peter Carey ~ February 27

Am I being unjustifiably negative? Are there any books that I should definitely add to my list?
