Monthly Reads - Blog Posts
Fourth Wing and Iron Flame was definitely the highlight of the month for me, with parts of us a close second.
But I had a great time with all the books I read for sure.

February was a bit of a re-read month for me, though I did get in a few new to me books too.
Enjoyed all the new ones I read which is always great, cause you never really know. Sometimes it’s been more missed than hits, you know. E M Lindsey is usually a safe bet for me though. I haven’t read a book of hers I haven’t enjoyed yet (I have not read all her books, so that might change, who knows🤷🏻♀️).
What was your favorite read in February?
January Reads (forgot to post)
Took this from my instagram, but these were my reads for January. All 5/5 for me. Loved them.
I discovered Lily Mayne at the end of December and I devoured these two series of hers in January.
Can’t wait for Lyri to come out and continue the monstrous series!
Have you read any of these?
April's harvest. Not much, but honest work.
Beware of Pity was an easy, effortless winner. What an amazing book, and a great introduction to Zweig. It inspired me immensely—I have pages and pages worth of notes and quotes, and I'm so very excited to read more.
Possession can easily count as two separate works, and, therefore, was twice as taxing to read. It was alright, really, and the author was brilliant for coming up with so much "lore," but it was simply not my cup of tea. Where people see great romance, I see a self-centered man whose actions are destructive to the point of ruining lives. I understand that humans are flawed, I do! But I don't like a story full of bad actions and worse consequences of those extremely flawed beings to be presented on a plate with gold rims and called something it's not.
I have the most to say about Daisy Miller, but, perhaps I'll save it for later—a long thinkpiece, likely. It's a short story, but I just adored it. I love love love a tragedy, and it really scratched all the right spots. It's a very thought-provoking piece; it had me thinking and pondering on its meaning for days.
O Caledonia was recommended to me by positively everyone, and glazed from every angle, so I will just say that I went into it with expectations raised a bit too high. It's good for what it is, but I can't call it a revolutionary work. It's a cute coming-of-age story with a great setting that I, personally, couldn't relate to, but I know many people did and will.
