Originally, I had planned to do an updated book recommendations post for Valentine's Day, but then life as a teacher happened, and it fell to the wayside.

So I decided to do a basic updated TBR post because it's been quite awhile since my last one, and I honestly got overwhelmed by the number of books I've added to my reading list since July. Although considering that's more than six months of adding titles to my list, the amount really isn't all that high. However, it was too much for one blog post.

Then I realized that my browsing in February centered around romance books (probably because that's what all the ads focused on), so I decided to combine my romance book recs with a TBR update...so here we go.
