Well, I gleefully organized my reading plan for February. I was a bit hampered by Hoopla only allowing a certain number of checkouts, but eventually figured out solutions. So, now I have a really nice collection of books to read. I also changed my organizing structure a little. As I may have said previously, I cut back to only 3 mysteries, as they tend to be pretty similar. I also added a "comfort reads" category and a "from a series" category based on the AI's recommendation, which makes sense. (And then I added a category for AI recommendations, since I am always interested to see what it thinks I will like.) I've got a lot of energy right now, so I'm going to hang up the laundry and then go for a walk. We'll see how long this lasts.

Here are my February 2024 books. My categories are:
Thriller/Historical Fiction/Fiction/Western/Horror (Group 1 Fiction)
History/Biography/Science/Philosophy (Nonfiction)
