February Wrap Up

Did you read anything this month?  I have started tracking what I'm reading not only by year but also by month and have been having so much fun seeing what I end up reading. Some months are busier than others but I was able to read quite a few during February!  I have soccer coming up for the next few months so I know my book number will probably be lower but that's okay! It's about having fun reading not the amount that you read. 

This month I read 15 books, and am still currently reading 5.  I mayyy have been a little overzealous with my current reads but honestly I just couldn't decide and kept switching it up between dark, romance, and fantasy. If you don't use Storygraph, it's a fun way to track moods, pages, format, and genre. Maybe it's the math teacher in me but I love all the graphs it shows you where you can break down what you are reading. If you get it add me because I love seeing what other people read along with Goodreads!  I definitely have read more romance but a lot of that was dark romance/fantasy romance as well.  It's so cool how you can click on each bar and see what the books are classified as!

I think the format feature is also really cool because it shows what format you read more of.  For me this is intriguing because when I bought my Kindle and KU I wasn't sure if I would really use it as much as I said because I love having a physical book, but as you can tell I def spent a lot of time reading digitally this month! 

And now to the good stuff!  Here are all the books I read and if you want a specific review leave a comment and I can send you my full review and rec for each of the books!

Court of Tricksters S.L. Prater - KU- Fantasy about fae and witches, left me wanting more!
​Fangsters Jo-Ann Carson - Pre-order is $.99 released on 4/4/23- Clever vampire tricks a with into creating a school for the worst kind of vampires around
Kingdom of the  Cursed Kerri Maniscalco - Fantasy - This is the second book in the series, twin sisters who are witches have been kept in the dark and are learning the truth about the Wicked and the Feared
Kingdom of the Feared Kerri Maniscalco - Fantasy-  This is the final book and now I cannot wait until the next book is released in this series about envy! 
​Blood & Snow (Novella) Lizzy Prince -KU-  Fantasy/Romance - I LOVE a good fairytale retelling and this Snow white one was so good. If you like vampires, shifters, witches and more this novella is for you. Plus you can easily read it in a day! 
​A Court of Thorns and Roses Sarah J Mass - Fantasy -This was a re-read for me. I am obsessed with this series.  It's supposed to be similar to a beauty and the beast retelling but honestly after this book I don't see it.  This fantasy world is amazing, the characters get you hooked and you just want to keep reading.  I have already recommended to multiple friends who are borrowing my books because I keep telling them they HAVE to read it! 

Wilder at Last Serena Bell - Romance, the last in the Wilder Adventure series but can be read as a stand alone.
Taco Bout Love Lily Kate - KU- Romance, grumpy sunshine, he takes care of everyone
​Icebreaker Hannah Grace - Sports Romance - I enjoyed this one but if we are being honest the main saving grace of this book is the MMC Nathan Hawkins. 
Mr Wrong Number Lynn Painter - Romance - Brothers best friend, cute read about finding romance in the unexpected
Secretly Yours Tessa Bailey - Romance - Second chance romance with a hot mess and a hot professor who is very strict with his schedule. This one was okay for me, you can see all my February Romance Reviews here too! 
Misfit Elle Kennedy -KU-  Romance/Drama - This is a series about a reject prep school with forbidden love and secrets.  I enjoyed it again for mainly the MMC and will read the second because I have to know what happens because you get left on a cliff hanger!
​Quarterback Sneak Kandi Steiner - Sports Romance -KU-  This is part of the Red Zone Rivals series, but you can read it as a standalone. Apparently I'm just here for all the MMC because Holden is the best and you will want to read this story for him because you will fall in love. 
Hail Mary Kandi Steiner - Sports Romance - KU - Enemies to lovers, and also part of the Red Zone Rivals series.  Honestly was disappointed in this one because I liked Mary better from how she seemed in QB sneak. But, once again the MMC aka *daddy Leo* made me keep reading because we love him.

The Housemaid's Secret Frieda McFadden - KU- Thriller - OMG this will keep you on your toes. You will not want to stop reading this story. Frieda is amazing and has so many twists and turns If you didn't read The Housemaid first I would highly suggest it but you can read it as a standalone.
