So February was an OK month. I was able to read 12 out of my 20 #BookSpinBingo pics for the month, plus 1 reread. I got one bingo this month, read both my #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin for the month. I also read two out of my three #Roll100 for the month, though I do plan to read the one I missed this month.

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Fantastic month!!! 3w

House of Sky and Breath | Sarah J. Maas

5⭐️ yes I‘m a Sarah J. Maas fan, sue me! 😁However, up until recently Throne of Glass was my favorite series. And while Manon is still one of my top-tier characters of all time, I freaking love the Crescent City series. I love all the characters, but I live for the power couple that is Bryce and Hunt. I really can‘t enough, and while I can‘t say for certain book 3 will be read by next mont, it will be read before the end of the year.

3⭐️ this one is a re-read. To be honest, it‘s not really good. If I could put it down, I would give it a lower score, but for some reason it‘s corny weirdness brings me some kind of comfort. It has to be the only reason I keep going back to it.

3⭐️ this book belongs in the category of “ what in the hell did I just read?”. It was graphic and pretty gory and really gross. But it had the affect the author wanted it to have so there you go. #BookSpin #BookSpinBingo

4.8⭐️so I had decided to read a bunch of short books in December to meet my reading goal; however, it didn‘t happen. So I moved a lot of them to January, and I still needed to move some over to this month. This was one of those books, and it‘s much better than some that I have read recently. While not a five star, it was excellent and looking forward to reading book two next month.

4.1⭐️ it was good, not quite what I expected, but that‘s OK. What drove me crazy with the continuous amount of the times the question “do you understand” was asked, because no, no, I really kind of don‘t. I mean, I get why it ended the way it did, and why certain events happened. However, I still don‘t understand the cause of some of the events, the decisions that were made, or why everything is being confessed now.

Pogue Ohh I loved this. I think the “do you understand “ was just her speach pattern because of who she was. 1mo

Oh, how I love this book. I have read it so many times. It is a little corny and cheesy but I‘m OK with this as this book, to me, has it all. It deals with betrayal, addiction, trauma, abuse, and healing, all wrapped up in a spicy little shifter romance. I will continuously reread this one over and over again! #LuckyInLove #FaceBodyOnCover

3.6 ⭐️ this is a pic, but barely. This was my #HometownBookClub book choice for the month, so it was read using Audible as this has been the groups preferred method. However, I wish I had the book in my hand so I could‘ve thrown it across the room several times. The primary love story was super cute, but the background story had me up in arms the entire time.

2.8⭐️WTF did I just read??? I don‘t even know how to describe this one, but seriously 🤮. I wasn‘t really a fan, and I will be unhauling this one from my shelves for sure. But it made me uncomfortable, which is what I think the author had in mind, so it did what it was supposed to do.

4⭐️ this is a strange, brutal and bloody retelling of the little mermaid. It‘s not a book that‘s going to be for everybody, but it does the job and being somewhat creepy and making you ill. It‘s bizarre and this authors writing can be, while very very poetic, unnecessarily sesquipedalian.

4.8⭐️ there was a lot of hype connected to this book, so I went in with the expectation to be let down. Two chapters in, I was like great, here is more of the same thing. But I was wrong, and it was so good and so worth the hype. However, I refuse to read the next one until at least book 3 is out and we know when book 4 is coming. #BookSpinBingo #DoubleSpin

Choosing my top read of January was a little tough this month. I had three 5 ⭐️ reads that are each incredible in their own way. In the end, I choose Weyward. Not because it was better, more powerful or stronger writing then the other two, but because I felt a little more connection to it. #BookBracket #BookOfTheYear. FYI… I don‘t know who created the bracket, but thank you 😊

It was nothing like I had imagined it to be, but I was pleasantly surprised by the direction it took. I truly enjoyed it and I will will be on the lookout for other books by this author. #Roll100 number 78.

5⭐️ this is a political, dark, epic fantasy, and it was freaking amazing. It was violent and bloody and brutal and sad. I honestly don‘t have the words to express how much I loved it. I will, however, be a little controversial, and say, I think this was so much better than a very well-known popular book, turned into TV show that everybody‘s obsessed with. My opinion only of course. I‘m looking forward to finishing this trilogy.

5⭐️ I loved this story! There are some trigger warnings, but it‘s such a powerful witchy feminist story. It follows three women who go through so much adversity but power through it. It‘s just beautiful! And while I thought the ending could‘ve been a little stronger, overall, the story was just wonderfully told. This was also my #BookSpin completing both books for #BookSpinBingo this month.

3.5⭐️ you don‘t understand… I so wanted to love this. And I know a lot of people loved it… Like a lot! It had the makings to be my 80s fantasy horror story come true. But for me, it just fell short. It‘s only saving grace with some of their bizarre circus performers, and one character who made you feel. Everybody else kind of suck. I don‘t know, I was just a little disappointed, but that‘s just my opinion.

5⭐️ for this 30 page incredible poetic story. It was just one of the most exquisitely, brutal stories I‘ve ever read. Utterly heartbreaking yet so so empowering. It‘s the first book I‘ve ever read by this author, but definitely not the last. If you can take an hour to out of your day, and you like dark fantasy, get this wanna try. I don‘t think you will regret it. This is awesome my #DoubleSpin for my #bookspinbingo.
