February Reading Wrap Up (great + disappointing reads)

[@laurendimke967]

mesmerized by this quilt blouse/cardigan thing you're wearing - what a statement

[@LexieMoon321]

I read about 10 books but that’s because I finished War and Peace this month. It took two months but it was so worth it!

[@jen1641]

I finally read Legends & Lattes in February. It was just as much fun as everyone promised.

[@ReadingNymph]

I want to get The Stolen Heir so much! Hope your reads for March carry on being great!

[@Katiedora122]

I had a really strong February! Say Nothing, Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries, Tress of the Emerald Sea, and Georgie All Along were all 5 star reads for me; and Bet On It, Origin: A Genetic History of the Americas, and The Loneliest Girl in the Universe were 4 stars. I picked up a couple of KU romances that didn't cut it for me, but I'm hoping I can keep the momentum through March.

[@themidwestlibrary]

I absolutely LOVED both Justice of Kings and Tyranny of Faith, it is such an underrated series, maybe it's the lawyer in me, but the combination of politics, law and fantasy is so well done!

[@marissadoty6061]

Just now getting into the shadowhunter world and reading city of bones. A little overwhelmed with how many books im setting myself up for, but your reviews of the last hours series makes me so excited to get into this world. Hopefully it doesnt take me too long to get there! Im trying to stay motivated lol

[@athirahaf244]

im so curious about how youre finding TMI!! I started with TID and really loved it so I wanted more from the shadow hunter world, so I went in for city of bones next. unfortunately, I couldn't even get past the 1st book :( I'm not sure if I should give TMI another try at this point

[@marissadoty6061]

@@athirahaf244 i thought about just skipping TMI all together but i really do want to get the whole experience of it and i know so many people who this is such a beloved series for them because they started in when they were younger. Hopefully itll be worth it! Im definitely doing the audiobooks for most of it

[@takshatangudu8736]

@@marissadoty6061 I like TMI too, mainly because it introduced me to the shadow world.I'm aware of the flaws and plot holes but it's nostalgic and fun !

[@a.b.2405]

I’ve been meaning to get back into this world! I read TMI and enjoyed it. I have the third book in The Infernal Devices to read. I’ll definitely look out for The Dark Artifices and the new series that is out.

[@ohobrenda]

empire of exiles and one dark window sounds so interesting, I'm adding to my tbr! I love your wrap up videos

[@KhushbuRai-or4lp]

I am not a Fantasy reader at all…But your videos make me want to so much!!! You just describe the books so well! I have my medical entrance in 3 months, but I swear I watch your videos to have my Shopping list once it is over! Love from India

[@notthemostread]

All the best for NEET! Hope you crack it! 💖💖

[@kimwicks5540]

Yaaas I'm so happy you are reading Gideon the ninth! It's knew of my favorite books and the audiobook is SO good. Idk if you've read Harrow the ninth yet, but it's a masterpiece, i wasn't ready for it

[@lieslherman]

Thank you for recommending The Smell of Other People's Houses--I grew up in Alaska (though in the 90s!) and that sounds right up my alley! I've never heard of it before. Hope Tyranny of Faith sticks the landing for you, I'm about halfway through myself!!

[@caitlin_w]

I'm so glad you read and loved The Smell of Other People's Houses! It's such a beautiful little book and so under rated imo

[@MizzInterpreted]

I read The Smell Of Other People's Houses a few years back and loved it. I'm planning on a re-read this year to see if it still holds up. Last year I listened to the author's Everyone Dies Famous In A Small Town and it was great. It has short stories that have sometimes have small moments of interconnection. It is different from 'The Smell Of.." but I really enjoyed it and I say that as someone who doesn't really love short stories.

[@cassidymeyer6251]

I absolutely love your videos!! Because of you I have branched out with my fantasy books and I’m reading Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson 😊 it’s really good so far!!

[@MariaMightReadThat]

I was let down by Bone Shard Emperor too and ended up DNFing 300 pages in. You have me so excited to read Empire of Exiles now!

[@nissasbookcorner]

just finished reading The Wall by Marlen Haushofer and currently reading harry potter for the first time!!

[@ZeeZeeDreaming]

Awesome wrap up as usual!

[@angelaholmes8888]

I also struggled in February reading wise here's what I read The bodyguard by katherine center Tough by terry crews memoir Chef's kiss by TJ Alexander Bloodmarked by Tracey deonn The blood trials Arcanum unbound by Brandon Sanderson Love on the brain by Ali hazlewood Ship wrecked by Olivia dade People we meet on vacation by Emily Henry Hunt the stars Honey and spice Steelstriker by marie lu

[@joannievh2071]

Feeling slump-ish so decided to continue my umpteenth reread of Harry Potter- Goblet of fire. Did not enjoy mistborn II (well of ascension) the slightest and wanted tontake a break before continuing. 🤷‍♀️

[@myrarucker7953]

I totally enjoyed One Dark Window!!

[@arden.0098]

i read the smell of other peoples houses back in 2018 and absolutely loved it ! knew it was gonna be 5 stars not even half way into it ! if you enjoyed that i really recommend "the agony of bun o'keefe" by heather smith !

[@feylights166]

I only read 2 books this month, which is unheard of for me (I usually at least get in 5 or 6): Chain of Iron and Chain of Thorns--and I share your thoughts on Chain of Thorns. From what I heard, the next trilogy is Wicked Powers, and I think it's about Ty and Kit. She still has the last Eldest Curses book to write, too. I started the Bloomsberry Handbook of Japanese religion. One of the reasons I only read 2 books was because I wanted to knock out my manga TBR, so I read a lot of manga.

[@elise85391]

I’m about 25% through Chain of Gold, I’m about to make a chart bc I can’t keep up with who’s who

[@joanafcps]

Hey! Some people got disappointed with the Cassie Clare book. Haven't read yet though but I'm looking forward to it still. Thanks for the recommendations! Last month I read 7 books and out of those, my favorites' ones were Sweet Bean Past, Playing Nice, Before the Coffee Gets Cold and Everyone in this room someday will be dead.

[@robindbankzzzz]

managed to read 3 books this month (This Winter by Alice Oseman, The First to Die at the End by Adam Silvera, A Forest of Vanity and Valour by AP Beswick) and TFTDATE is definitely my favourite of that month

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I need to read Stolen Heir 😤

[@kizzyneetyan]

I'm still waiting for my library to get The Tyranny of Faith in (it's been "on order" for weeks!!), I can't wait to continue that series!!

[@bookbuzzzz]

Well done!

[@MissAikaterine]

I’m itching so much to read ‘one dark window’ when I manage to reduce my tbr a lil bit 🙈

[@heatherparisi8250]

I dnf’d chain of thorns at 66%. I’m noticing that cassandra clare has a problem with continuity and completely disregarded the clockwork princess epilogue. also, could care less about the main characters and didn’t like any of the relationships and I don’t think there was enough of the characters from the infernal devices either.

So proud of you Regan you read amazing books in February! 💚❣️💝🤎💜💖🧡❤️💓💓🧡🤎🤎🤎🖤🖤📖📖📖💔📚🤍💙🤍💗📖📖🖤🤎📙📙🤎💝❣️💓💓❤️💖💜📚📚💔📖📖🤍💙🤍📚📚🤍💘

[@pstrokata7]

I stopped reading Cassandra Clare somewhere at the end of the first series as her writing was too chaotic and weak for me then. (Also not a fan of the main pairing there.) Is it worth it to come back to the later books?

[@cjanney3592]

Mortal instruments is her weakest set, in most opinions. Infernal devices is amazing and would be well worth the read. You could start there if you want. Dark Artifices is also a very strong trilogy, in my opinion.

[@pstrokata7]

@@cjanney3592 Thanks! Will give it a try~

[@nextpageadventure9160]

I'm the opposite with Gideon. One of the voices in the audiobook (I think harrow) sounded so high pitch and shrieking to me. I had to switch to the physical.

[@pattidoyle5102]

I can’t watch, too much is given away.

[@surpriseitsus9622]

How do you know if you don't watch? Can you be specific?

[@pattidoyle5102]

@@surpriseitsus9622 I am not trying to be a negative Nancy, it’s just that I like to find out about most things as I read the story. I watched enough of the video to see that it passed my personal limit…which I know may not be the same for others. I like her personality so much that I wish I could continue. I did not mean to be offensive, I swear.
