February Wrap Up and March TBR

March starts today and that means it is time for my wrap up and TBR post. This month hasn’t been a bad month reading wise, since I almost met the number of books in my TBR. However, the reading pace hasn’t been constant and I had to push myself to be able to meet this goal.



The month started good because I started by reading the next book in the PSI /Changeling series by Nalini Singh, a series that has the ability to capture me and make me want to read more. This fourth book, “Mine to possess” was not different from the previous ones. I really enjoyed the book and I definitely recommend it. I gave it 4.5 out of 5.






Then the month started to get slower in the reading frame. I started reading “The lightning thief” by Rick Riordan, and although I ended up liking it, it was really hard for me to get into it at first. The beginning was quite introductory and tedious for my taste. I ended up giving it 3 out of 5, although I hope the series gets better as it progresses.



It toke me a while to finish “The lightning thief” and it was almost the 15th when I started “Sweet Evil” by Wendy Higgins. I was expecting to like this book but not as much as I did. I read the book in practically one sitting and I could not do anything else than reading anytime I had a little spare time. I gave it 5 out of 5. I liked it that much that I ended up picking up the next one right away, “Sweet Peril”, which I also loved and read in no time. At this point I thought that I should finish the series right away since I have already read the first two books and I only had one left. Therefore, I started “Sweet Reckoning” and finished it in two days. This one was a little cheesier but liked it nonetheless. I gave “Sweet Peril” 4.5 out of 5 and “Sweet Reckoning” 4 out of 5.  


  


At this point, the month was almost over; however I decided to start “Bad Feminist” by Roxane Gay. It is the book for the “Paper and Glam book club” for the month of February. I am still reading it, but I am surprisingly enjoying it. Non-fiction is not really my thing, none the less I am finding these books quite interesting.
Now it is time for my TBR. First I want to finish “Bad Feminist”. Then I want to keep going with the PSI/ Changeling series by Nalini Sight by reading the fifth book in the series, "Hostage of pleasure"
Then I want to move into the next book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan, “The sea of monsters” and hopefully like it a little more that the first one.
 

After this I want to finish two books I have started and have not yet finished, “The fifth wave” by Rick Yancey and “Siege and Storm” by Leigh Bardugo. I stopped reading these book almost have way because in both cases I was not in the mood for them, so hopefully I will finish them this month.
 

And last but not least, I want to read the “Paper and Glam book club” choice for March, which is “Girl on the train” by Paula Hawkins

I know it is an ambitious TBR, but I will hopefully make it.
Thanks for reading,
