There goes another month, just zooming by! February has been one of the most unsuccessful months ever! I read only five books in February and I'm sad that I didn't like a lot of the ones I read. I only hope that I get more luck in March with my reading schedules and the books I read. I plan on reading some really great books in March, so that shouldn't be a problem!
February Wrap-Up
My favorite book of the month would have to go to The Glass Arrow by Kristen Simmons. Second place is Red Queen! These two books are just the perfect mix and boundary between high fantasy and a great, action-packed read! Pick them up if you've been wanting to get rid of a reading slump. One of the Guys by Lisa Aldin was also a terrific read! I was able to meet Spencer Hill Press, the publishing company of the book over the previous weekend, and they told me all about the book. Perfect contemporary read with the slightest amount of drama. Half Bad was a DNF for me. Sorry you witch book people. And lastly, The Raven Boys wasn't bad at all! It just wasn't that great either and overall a very confusing book! I heard it get's better though so I will be continuing with this series. A great dark urban fantasy read!
March TBR
I'm reading The Diviners by Libba Bray for a buddy read with the awesome Diamond from Dee's Reads. I'm so excited for this one because I rarely ever do get a chance to pick up a historical fiction novel. Harry Potter is going to be a continuation of my HP marathon even though I'm quite caught back on it and getting there slowly. I'm also not sticking to the schedule. Miss Mayhem is the second book in the Rebel Belle series by Rachel Hawkins which I have received an ARC paperback copy of because I requested it so many times and bothered the hell out of the publisher xD! I would like to get to the Madman's Daughter. AND FINALLY... Girl Online is my TBR Jar pick of the week! Idk how I feel about it. Anyone reading it before?
Leave links to your TBR or Wrap-Up posts and I'll definitely check some out!
YAY, You loved The Glass Arrow as well<3 The cover is so beautiful as well.. I read Girl Online and actually DNF it :( lol it just sounds like an average read.. Great post overall x<3 Benish | Feminist Reflections
ReplyDeleteLOL I don't know how I feel about Girl Online! I really wasn't expecting to get this book for my TBR Jar.
Deleteoooh you're planning to read some amazing books this month! I can't wait to see what you think of Madman's Daughter. It's a series I really like :D I also love that you're reading HP. and hello, can't wait to discuss Diviner's with you! and review w/you too (or post our reviews together :D)
ReplyDeleteSo excited for the Diviners... reading it now and omg omg it's hypable!
DeleteGreat post, Alex! :) Sadly, I only read three books for February. I was busy learning about book-blogging.

Go MARCH!
DeleteI wasn't too impressed with Half Bad either, maybe it was all the hype surrounding it that got to me but it didn't impress me at all. I really want to read Glass Arrow, it sounds really good :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I wasn't the only one who didn't give Half Bad a non five star rating. I thought I was going crazy because everyone loved the book!
DeleteOh Girl Online. I'd say DON'T DO IT DON'T DO IT but secretly I want to read it too. Apparently there's a ghostwriter *rolls eyes*
ReplyDeleteI haven't read The GLass Arrow but I HAVE read Red Queen and that was spectacular! Awesome month <3
Ghostwriters *rolls eyes double time*
DeleteOMG Red Queen was so good like I literally had a book hangover because of that ending!
Nice reads! I loved RQ, and The Glass Arrow was pretty great :) I can't wait to read your thoughts on The Madman's Daughter. ALEX HOW DO YOU GET STUFF FROM PENGUIN?! I must know how you cracked that, I NEED Blood & Salt by Kim Liggett like I need air. Slight exaggeration but still ;) Happy March!
ReplyDeleteHas everyone read The Madman's Daughter Trilogy but me? I just filled out the Penguin form lmfao. Happy March and you could definitely get it since you're like so popular and stuff *flips hair like popular gurl* LOL Have a nice March!
DeleteUgh I need to get my hands on Red Queen and Glass Arrow! I have major coverly love for both of them. The Diviners has also been something I've been wanting to read for a really long time now but never got to. I really can't wait to hear what you think of The Chamber of Secrets! Also, I promise The Raven Boys Cycle gets better. The first one was a rough one at first for me too. =)
ReplyDeleteJazzie @ The Book Dancer
I read The Raven Boys to your recommendation so I really have to thank you! The Glass Arrow and Red Queen are must reads!
Delete*waves* I HAVEN'T read The Mad Man's Daughter! (Even though I saw at the library the other day and COULD have gotten it, but chose not to. I've only read about 5 books this month. o_o
ReplyDelete5 books already? It's day 7 of March!
DeleteI also read five books this month! But I enjoyed most of them: http://thebook-nook.weebly.com/home/february-wrap-up
ReplyDeleteI want to read Red Queen, but I am always nervous to read books where the sequels aren't coming out for another year. I'm really forgetful. I hope you enjoy Chamber of Secrets. It's one of my favorites!
That usually happens to me and I don't like to read books unless they have the rest of the series out so I can marathon it. But Red Queen was so popular this year. I just had to! Yay for HP!
DeleteOooh, if you liked The Glass Arrow more than Red Queen then I must read it because Red Queen was pretty darn awesome! Can't wait for your Harry Potter review!! Chamber of Secrets is probably my least favorite, but it was still enjoyable! From book 3 and on it will get more amazing and more awesome with each book!
ReplyDeletePearl @ AsteriskPearl's Book Blog
The Glass Arrow was such a fantastical fantasy read xD! I'm waiting for amazingness RN!
DeleteI have read The Glass Arrow and I absolutely adored it! I thought it was a brilliant book and although a bit slow paced in the beginning I couldn't help but race through it after that. I also fell in love with Kiran <3
ReplyDeleteKiran is like the best Book Boyfriend eva, sister. Let's swoon together *swoons*
DeleteHalf Bad wasn't good? Aw man. I was looking forward to reading that series. I DNFed The Raven Boys because it just didn't keep my attention.
ReplyDeleteI was this close *makes size with finger* to DNFing The Raven Boys, but it got more interesting in the middle. Half Bad just didn't sit well with me and I usually love witch books. I'm sure you'll love it though!
