February Wrap-up & Book Haul!

Per usual I’m a little late posting this but… At least, it’s better than nothing, right? 😅

February was actually a slow month for me. I was doing (am still doing, actually) some heavy editing and revising with my own book, so I didn’t care too much for reading. Audiobooks are seriously a lifesaver, though. I also read a few eARCs this month, so I’ve been slowly checking off books from my semi-made TBR for February. March is looking pretty similar, to be quite honest… 😶

First up, the wrap-up!

The Belles by Dhonielle Clayton (eARC) – ★★★
Always and Forever, Lara Jean by Jenny Han – ★★★★
Gemina by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff – ★★★★★
Saints and Misfits by S.K. Ali – ★★★★
The Beauty That Remains by Ashley Woodfolk (eARC) – ★★★ 1/2
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas – ★★★★★
In Real Life by Cory Doctorow & Jen Wang (not pictured) – ★★★★★

My February favorite is Gemina with The Hate U Give as a close second. Both were audiobooks and absolutely fantastic!

February’s book haul is small, but that’s okay! I put myself on a bit of a ban since there are so many amazing releases coming out this month and the next few months… I’m also going on vacation next week so I needed to save my money for that obviously. 😛

Target had a Buy 3 for $10 each sale on books, board games, and movies around Valentine’s Day, so Husband took me there and let me get what I wanted. 🙂 I’ve already read American Panda as an eARC, and I’ve heard amazing things about the other two, so I couldn’t resist! Also, 3 brand new, hardcover books for $30? SOLD!

My plan is to not buy books impulsively for March and April. I’m not sure how well that will go since I’m going to two author events this month and a big book festival next month, but… We’ll see. 😉

To celebrate the release of The Astonishing Color of After on March 20 (and the fact that it’s my most anticipated release of March), I’m giving away a copy on my Twitter page. 🙂 It’s actually international as long as Book Depository ships to you (that’s important to remember!), and you can find all the rules and enter for the chance here.
