There’s still one day left of February but since I won’t finish a book or write a review before then I’ll post this wrap-up now. I had an okay-ish reading month. I could have gotten more done but oh well. Lately I’ve been focusing on my Gilmore Girls rewatch ❤
FINISHED READING
Crush
by Richard Siken
I’d heard of Richard Siken for a while because he’s often quoted online, and one night I decided to check him out finally and I didn’t regret it. I don’t read poetry often but this was beautiful. I didn’t rate it because it’s hard for me to rate poetry, especially if I’ve only read it once, but I really enjoyed most of the poems in this book.
“I don’t really blame you for being dead but you can’t have your sweater back.”
Daughter of Smoke and Bone
by Laini Taylor
[review]
I loved this so much. Such an unique story and beautiful writing. I’d definitely recommend it.
5/5 stars + a new favorite!

Throne of Glass
by Sarah J. Maas
[review]
I finally don’t feel like an outsider anymore for not having read this book! Sadly it wasn’t all that, but I’ve heard the series improves so don’t worry, I’ll continue!
2/5 stars

STARTED READING
The Basic Eight 
by Daniel Handler
I started this on a whim because I was curious, but I haven’t had the time to finish it yet because I had to prioritize a library book. I’m only 15% in but it seems like it could be a fun and disturbing one so I can’t wait to get into it properly.

Blodets Galskap
by Elisabeth Øvreberg
This is the library book I had to prioritize. It’s a Norwegian fantasy and I’m not quite sure how I feel about it yet. The basic premise is interesting but I’m not liking the way the omniscient narrator works and the instalove is a bit too much for me (even though it’s refreshing that it’s one sided and not straight).

I had a not-so-hot reading month as well, with only four books read. We are like opposites with Throne of Glass and DOSAB– I loved ToG but couldn’t get past the first 50 pages of DOSAB! Either way, I hope you enjoy CoM more. I’m on Heir of Fire and it’s my goal to catch up on the series this year.

Oh man, that seems so foreign to me! Hahaha, I can’t imagine not liking that book, it was magical. Oh well 😀 I hope I enjoy CoM more too!

I got a copy of Daughter of Smoke & Bone last month and I can’t wait to read it! An okay-ish reading month is better than a bad one. 😛

I have been wanting to read Daughter of Smoke and Bone for a while. The plot sounds very unique and different from the historical fiction/dramas I usually read. Great job this month!

You should definitely check it out, I found it very different from other YA fantay novels out there right now. Thanks for stopping by!
