Our February Mood | Romance Reads, Valentine Energy, The Olympics & Bridgerton

Are you entering February as a hopeless romantic, a Valentine’s Day skeptic, or someone fully prepared to let romance books, the Winter Olympics, and Bridgerton distract you from real life?

In this episode of Book Bits & Chill, we’re setting our February mood and resetting the vibes for the month ahead. We talk about Valentine energy, romance skepticism, Olympic-level distractions, Bridgerton season anticipation, and what kinds of stories we’re actually craving right now.

We also get into February TBR plans, Black History Month reading priorities, upcoming book-to-screen adaptations, and why romance as a genre matters more than ever. Cozy, chaotic, thoughtful, and very on brand.

✨ Let us know in the comments: are you a Valentine romantic, a cynic, or an Olympics-first girlie?
