Hello February: Wrap-ups and Looking Ahead

Well then, 2019 started off with a bang and January wasn’t terribly kind. My house had several mishaps (leaks, ceilings falling, etc.), and life got topsy-turvy in other ways. I’m hoping that February will be more smooth sailing. In hopes for that I’m organized and already have most of the month planned out, now it’s just time to find when I’m going to read!

I’m going to try and be better at having more than just reviews on here. I started January off with books I’m looking forward to, and this month I’m dropping you all my January wrap-up and looking forward into what’s coming in February.

January Wrap-up

Favorite Releases:

• King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo
• The Wicked King by Holly Black
• A Curse so Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer
• Echo North by Joanna Ruth Meyer
• White Stag by Kara Barbieri
• The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi

You can check out my review of White Stag. I’ve been so lucky. One of my local bookstores had Roshani, Holly, and Brigid here. I was able to get both The Wicked King and A Curse so Dark and Lonely signed! While I’m still missing Echo North and The Gilded Wolves I’m itching to sit down and devour all of these books!

Books Read:

• Sky in the Deep by Adrienne Young – 5 Stars
• Witchmark by C.L.Polk – 5 Stars (Review to come!)
• City of Bones by Victoria Schwab – 4.5 Stars (Review to come!)

I completed my goal of three books a month to hit my Goodreads goal! I’m going to try and keep up with my TBR lists and reviews better since I now have a better handle on what work and grad school feels like. It also helps keep me sane, as reading is my stress relief.

February Look Ahead

Releases I’m Looking Forward to:

  • check out the blog tomorrow for my review of the ARC!
• Courting Darkness by Robin LeFevers – February 5th

Lord knows I won’t be able to get all of these beauties, let alone read all of them, but I figured you might be interested to see them all laid out. I can’t wait to hold Bloodwitch in my hands, it’s my most anticipated of 2019!

Do you have any TBR’s you’re trying to tackle? Or any February releases that you can’t wait to read?
