January WrapUp and February TBR

A new month starts today and that means that it is time to wrap up this month and make our TBR list for the month coming.
This month hasn’t been my best reading month and I ended up completing just three books from my planned TBR and almost get to another one.

The first book I managed to finish this month, which I have started on the previous month was “Harry Potter and the deadly hallows”. It toke me longer than what I was expecting to be done with this book, since it was a bit uneventful at first. If you want to know my opinion here is my review. I also watched the movies in which this book was turned into and written a book to movie adaptation review that you can read here.







Then I read “The life-changing magic of tidying up”, an interesting self-development book about organizing. The truth is that for being a book I would have never chosen by myself it was really good. I am not used to read non-fiction books and that surprised me positively. You can check out my review here.

After this I tried to read the “5th wave” but I could not really get into it and as I was watching a reading slump approaching I decided to change and start “Caressed by Ice” the fourth book in the PSI/Changeling series by Nalini Singh, since I had gone really quick though the previous books. And I was not mistaken; I really got into the book quite quickly, and really enjoyed it. The review will be up soon.
And as I ended up this one I get into the “5th Wave” again to see if I could manage to finish it before the month was over, however I just managed to get up to the 50% of the book. And I am actually leaving it on stand-by.

As for this February’s TBR I decided I will go with a “romance” theme, even if not all the books will be classified mainly as romance.


First I will continue with the PSI/Changelling series reading the fourth book, “Mine to possess” by Nalini Singh. Is not just a romance series, however, romance is a big subject on the books.







Then, I will like to start two series which are paranormal romance and have been on the hype for a long time. The first would be the “Lux” series by Jennifer L. Armentrout, a series about aliens, from which I will be reading “obsidian” the first one. And also I will be reading “Sweet Evil” the first one in the “Sweet trilogy” by Wendy Higgins.






Apart from that following the romance theme I would like to read a contemporary I have been trying to get to for a long time, “Eleanor and Park” by Rainbow Rowell. I have only read one book by this author, “Fangirl” and I really enjoyed it, so I decided to go for another of this author’s books, and this is one of the most famous ones.

The other books that I want to get to are not really into the romance theme however I would like to read them. 
The first one would be Percy Jackson and the lighting thief, let's see if I can once an for all managed to read it.






The last one is the “Paper and Glam book club” book for the month of February, which is “Bad Feminist” by Roxanne Gay.





Thanks for reading,
