Happy Top Ten (and More) Tuesday! Here, you will find a list of all the movies I watched and books I finished in February.
MOVIES
Letterboxd allows for half star ratings for movies, but I'm sticking to whole instead of sliced mushrooms. The heart indicates when the movie had the "it" factor, that something special that makes it a favorite of mine. It's probably one I would re-watch. It does not have to earn five mushrooms in order to earn a heart. There could be plot holes, etc., but if it was still immensely enjoyable, it earned a heart.
The number on the left is the date in February when I watched the movie. Most of the time, I watch half a movie in the morning while having breakfast and the second half in the afternoon while having lunch. Hallmark movies, which are mostly what I watch, are all less than 90 minutes long without commercials, so via DVR, I can easily watch one per day most days.

February was a mix of Groundhog Day, leap year, Marvel, new Hallmark mysteries, Jane Austen, Valentine's Day, Cinderella (in the form of Ever After), and summertime. Yes, that's right. Hallmark threw in a new movie that clearly was set in the summer. It premiered on a Monday - President's Day.
My least favorite movie of the month was The Marvels. This is also my least favorite movie in the MCU. I knew it received bad reviews overall, but I don't always agree. So I watched it anyway in the hopes that I would enjoy it. I did really enjoy the flerkittens scene, but even that couldn't save the movie.
As you can see, I bookended the month with two five-star movies. I don't think I appreciated Groundhog Day enough until this year. February ended with Hallmark's adaptation of Sense and Sensibility, which concluded Hallmark's Jane Austen-themed month. I enjoyed most of their Jane Austen-inspired movies, but Sense and Sensibility was my favorite movie of the month. I had never seen any other adaptations of Sense and Sensibility, nor have I read the book. The book is most definitely on my TBR list now! The 1995 adaptation will be on television soon, so I will record and watch it.
BOOKS
I don't give hearts for books like I do for movies because I rarely re-read books. When I do, it's usually because I haven't reviewed it yet and I need to refresh my memory before I do or because it's part of a book club and I need to refresh my memory for that reason. Otherwise, there are too many that I want to read and it would take too much time to re-read them. Also, many of them are part of a series, of which I have so much catching up to do.
Here's what I read and listened to in February. Reviews are linked to the titles. Some are full reviews, while others are brief ones on my Sunday Posts.
