Q: What was your favorite read of February?. *waves from under the abyss* Hello, I am in-fact still alive and did remember that I once did monthly wrap up posts! I haven’t one of these since -checks- October 2022….its been a hot minute. I’ve missed doing these though and am going to try and go backdate the previous months, but for now, let’s see how my February went! ✈️ I traveled to Atlanta, GA for 6 days for work, which was actually incredibly stressful and not at all fun sadly! I attended the book launch for Revelle by Lyssa Mia Smith at Books of Wonder in NYC, and I attended an early screening of Daisy Jones & The Six which included a talk with the cast/creators afterwards! 🎭 I attended 3 concerts and saw 3 Broadway shows. And last but not least – I read 4 books this month. Life isn’t slowing down anytime soon but I’m trying to fit reading in when and where I can! My favorite February reads: 💎 Revelle by Lyssa Mia Smith - If you tell me a story is inspired by Moulin Rouge, I’m immediately interested. Add a magic system and make it a historical fiction with fantasy – I’m sold! I’ve been eagerly anticipating Revelle and it did not disappoint! It sparkled like the jewels used in this story. 🎶 Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid (reread): Not to be dramatic, but this is one of my favorite books of all time and it’s truly perfect. I love music. I love books. I love books about music. This story is incredible and I’m so glad I decided to reread it! Why is it that Taylor Jenkins Reid’s best books will always make me cry at the end? SO MUCH EMOTION IN THIS STORY!! #FebruaryWrapUp #WrapUp #MonthlyWrapup #MonthlyReads #FebruaryReads #BookReviewer #BookBlogger #Bookstagram #Bookish #Bibliophile #Bookworm #BoostingYA #BookishLife #BooksOfIG #Bookstagrammer #boostingya #TenThousandDoorsofJanuary #Revelle #RevelleBook #DaisyJonesandtheSix #TheLuminaries https://www.instagram.com/p/CplCaecAKQE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
This was a good month for me reading wise (maybe not mental health wise but we're glossing over it)! This is gonna be a long one so hold tight. I hope we all got to read what we wanted to read this month! As always rating and reviews are under the cut.
Check content warning lovelies <3
Happy reading c:
Gild by Raven Kennedy ⭐⭐⭐(3.75/5) Finished in one sitting, made me cry, and actually want to read the next book. All in all a successful slump ender! Seriously the moment I almost put it down to go to bed the action started to happen and the only thing that was going through my head was it's not funny I have school
Glint by Raven Kennedy ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5) YOOOOOO I did not expect that ending talk about a cliffhanger. (Update I literally don't remember what happened why wasn't I more specific 💀)
Gleam by Raven Kennedy ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐5/5 Literally shaking after that ending. It was absolute prefection. Thought it was just a trilogy but now I have to wait for the next one so um when does it come out 😅
Deceived by the Gargoyles by Lillian Lark ⭐⭐⭐ 3.5/5 Love the relationship dynamic! Poly relationship btwn three gargoyles and a witch ❤️
Claimed by Cupid by Dana Islay ⭐⭐⭐ 2.5/5 read this before I knew anything about the recent scandal and I must say I'm so glad I got it for free and immediately undownload it. The book itself had good smut but I didn't read the series so the plot made little sense to me. Still won't be reading her again after what she did 🙃
Marrying Winterborne by Lisa Kleypas ⭐⭐⭐⭐4.75/5 At first I thought it would be like Evie and St. Vincent's story from the Wallflower series but how I was wrong. It was entirely it's own story and a beautiful one. I loved everything about it and despite the awfully cheesy cover and name, will definitely purchase for a reread.

Cold-Hearted Rake by Lisa Kleypas ⭐⭐⭐(3.75/5) The perfect book for a wonderful escape. The characters are beautifully written and unique. I have to say after a while I was more interested in Helen’s story than the main plotline.
Devil in Spring by Lisa Kleypas ⭐⭐⭐(3.5/5) Not my favorite in the series but it was still good. Lots of time skips but the plot was entertaining enough to make up for it.
Bound to You: Volume One by Vanessa Booke ⭐⭐(2.5/5) Enough plot but let’s get to the good stuff plzzz. Literally just plot not anything else. Weird ending for a book but okay ig

I didn’t meet nearly any of my hopes for February but oh well, it’s was an ok reading month I just wish I would have gotten more lengthy books completed.
But, I am only one book behind to meet my goal of 100 for the year, and I got some back logged review requests complete so I feel very good about that. I just need to up my page count.
Feburary TBR. Yes, The Raven Boys is still there. Not sure what the deal is because I really enjoy it when I pick it up, but I am not pulled to read it. Storm Born is the book I'm reading with my friends this month and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is part of a book club I'm part of. And that Cat Sebastian book is going to be a fun read if I just let myself get with it. #books #reading #tbr #februaryreads #readyforthese #ravenboyswillgetfinishedthismonth https://www.instagram.com/p/B8C0JX4nTkWGeHUtmpG3SRhxUO7WAkYYama7e40/?igshid=1cagf1tag42mc
Our Virtual Book Club has commenced! 📖 The first book on the agenda is our February title: Akarnae - by Lynette Noni Akarnae is the first book of the Medora Chronicles and I thought it sounded like a fabulous story to start off with! . . . #embracethewonder #lynettenoni #akarnae #medora #bookclub #2019 #februaryreads #goodreads #justcaley #books #reading #adventure #videoseries #magic #fantasy #community #yafiction https://www.instagram.com/p/BszrtVWBwok/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3mut34xo3oba
