So, it's the end of the month and that means another wrap-up!
I did not have that great of a reading month as my life has been busy. I also didn't have a good blogging month but I am getting back into the swing of things for spring break which I am on right now.
I SAW BEAUTY AND THE BEAST THIS MONTH. It was so amazing and beautiful and I cried during it. I highly recommend it in case you haven't seen it yet. This is the live action version of Beauty and the Beast which is very well done and I almost like it more than the original animated version. I will be doing a review as soon as I can. The soundtrack is also to die for.
I ended up only reading 5 books this month because I've been a busy human but I am still ahead of my reading goal! Hooray!
Join my book club: here.
Anyways...
Time to talk about the books I read this month.
PHYSICAL BOOKS
The first physical book I read was The Thousandth Floor by Katharine McGee. I really didn't know what to expect from this book as it was compared to Gossip Girl which I know nothing about. I really enjoyed it, however. This book is filled with betrayal, romance, and intrigue. I rated it 4 Crowns.
The second physical book I read was Scythe by Neal Shusterman. My friend recommended this book to me and I actually picked it up and enjoyed it. That being said, I did think the concept was a little creepy. I mean people who decide who lives or dies? That is just a little bit insane but I did end up rating it 4 Crowns.
The third physical book I read Freeks by Amanda Hocking. This book had an interesting premise as it was about a traveling circus with performers who had actual powers. It was really interesting and I rated it 3 Crowns.
The fourth physical book I read was Kingdom of Ash and Briars by Hannah West. This book was so unique because it took parts of different stories and fairytales and mashed them all into one story while having it's own unique plotline. I ended up rating this 4 Crowns.
The fifth physical book I read was Hunted by Meagan Spooner and this was by far my favorite book of the month. It was such a well written Beauty and the Beast retelling. Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite fairytales and Disney movies and this one was one of the best that I have read so far. I really enjoyed how Yeva [Beauty] was such a unique Beauty and different from many that I have read about. She was much more dangerous than the Beast himself which was interesting. I rated it 5 Crowns.
