I continued my journey into the romance genre and fell in love with this entire series and characters. I would definitely recommend this one if you’re looking for a cute but sexy read.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia – ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – I went into this one just a little bit blind. I also wasn’t sure if it was going to end up being one of my least favourites or my favourite. I loved the characters and the quest and all the culture packed into this book.
- The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – This book was such a surprise. I didn’t think it was going to be highly rated but then it packs this incredible punch and actually made me cry. The emotion in this book runs high and I adore it for that.
- Wilder Girls by Rory Power – ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – I cannot get over how beautiful the relationships are within this book. Considering the context and story behind it I wasn’t expecting the characters to shine through. And they most definitely do. Beautifully written with just the right amount of gore!
There were no real redeeming factors with this one. I think my expectations were too high and of something completely different so I was just left underwhelmed and disappointed.
⭐⭐
- Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty – ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Bad Saint by Monica James – ⭐⭐
- Royally Screwed by Emma Chase – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Royally Matched by Emma Chase – ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Royally Endowed by Emma Chase – ⭐⭐⭐
- The Guest List by Lucy Foley – ⭐⭐
- Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia – ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Wilder Girls by Rory Power – ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- The Highwayman by Kerrigan Byrne – ⭐⭐⭐
- And I Darken by Kiersten White – ⭐⭐⭐
- A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman – ⭐⭐⭐
- Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I have decided to pick this one up because I was really in the mood for Schwab’s writing. It definitely hasn’t let me down so far and I’m excited to see where the story ends up taking me!
I had a lot of Kindle books on my TBR for February but decided I was going to take part in the Kindle Clearout Readathon. So, I ended up pushing back my Kindle books so I could use them in that challenge. So the books I will definitely be getting to are:
- Beartown by Fredrik Backman
- The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams
- The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
February turned out to be such a good month for me! How about you? What did you get read and what do you wish you had gotten too? Let me know!
Pretty sure I also gave The Guest List two starts . It was a real disappointment. So many of these look good! And I’m glad you enjoyed your ACOTAR reread 😊😊
I really want to read The Midnight Library! I’ve only heard good things about it.
Wow, great total. I finished 12 in Feb but wrote 13 on my blog as I really thought I was going to finish the last bit of one! I really want to read The Poet X and I’m glad you rated it. As for those chaps on your romance books – what are those, 8-packs? Terrifying!
