FEBRUARY '18 WRAP-UP

So, it's the end of the month and that means another wrap-up!

Phew! Another month has gone by and another wrap-up has been written. It's crazy how fast 2018 is moving already!

February was a difficult month as I had a lot of stuff to do and I also got sick halfway through. But, I enjoyed watching the Pyeongchang Olympics which were so much fun. I never knew I would be so into the halfpipe until this year. Some of the U.S. athletes were so funny this year.

I have also started planning out another part of Camelot Anew (one of my WIPs) as well as started planning out a sci-fi WIP. I am so excited to write both of these. I also did quite a bit of reading despite the Olympics and being bogged down in homework.

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 Love, Life and the List by Kasie West. I really enjoyed this one despite many people not enjoying it. I thought it was a cute quick read. I really liked the plot and I liked how she was an artist which was something that I haven't seen much of in YA books. I rated this one 4 Crowns.

The second physical book I read was Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli. I decided to read this one because the movie adaptation comes out in March and I really want to see it. I also really liked this one. I found all the characters funny and I thought the plot was cute. I rated this one 5 Crowns.

The third physical book I read was Meet Cute by Various Authors. I enjoyed most of these stories. They were all cute first meetings of people that were a little bit unrealistic but adorable nonetheless. Overall, I rated this book 4 Crowns.

The fourth physical book I read was Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller. I've read so many mixed reviews about this book that I was really unsure about whether I should start it but since I've had it on my shelf for about a year, I decided that it was time to read it. I ended up loving it which I should have expected because I love pirates. I rated it 5 Crowns.

The fifth physical book I read was The Last Magician by Lisa Maxwell. This was a huge intimidating book but I ended up reading it rather quickly as it was intriguing. I loved the plot and the characters. Also, Harte and Esta are so cute. I need more. I rated it 5 Crowns as well.

The sixth physical book I read was Doon by Carey Corp and Lorie Langdon. I have had this book sitting on my shelf for a long time and I never read it even though my sister did. I finally decided to attempt to read it this month and I am so happy that I did. I enjoyed it a lot even though the plot was a little awkward sometimes. I rated it 4 Crowns.

The seventh physical book I read was The Edge of the Abyss by Emily Skrutskie. I loved the first book so much and this was just as action-packed and it totally kept me interested throughout the whole thing. I love Cas and Swift so much and I am really hoping she decides to write a novella or something with them. I rated this one 5 Crowns.

NONE

ARC'S READ

The first and only ARC I read was Emily Windsnap and the Falls of Forgotten Island by Lisa Kessler. I loved the Emily Windsnap books when I was younger and I naturally had to request this one. I really enjoyed it as it had all the elements of the previous books and was just a lot of fun. I also wrote a full review of it which you can find on my blog and coming in my March wrap-up. I rated it 4 Crowns.
