I’ve made a lot of reading resolutions, and one of them is to be better about cultivating a monthly TBR. I know so many bloggers do beginning of the month TBR posts and I always LOVE reading them, so I’ve decided to post my own as well! I will include my physical, e-book, and ARC TBRs as well as a status update of where I am prior to starting my upcoming month’s TBR.
Reading Progress Prior To This Month: 7/100* Books Read
*Wish me luck as I try to read more books in 2020 than ever before!
I did OK in January but not as well as I’d hoped (was really hoping for about 10 books!) so I need to pick up the pace a little in February- even though it’s a short month! Eeek!
Library
Don’t Date Rosa Santos // This one has been on my TBR for a while, and I saw it was available through Libby with no wait for the audio book and decided to download it to listen to during some longer drives I have coming up. So far it’s really cute and actually giving me Jane the Virgin vibes (in a good way).
A Heart So Fierce and Broken // I enjoyed the first book in this Beauty and the Beast inspired series well enough that I’ll be continuing on with the series (plus the cover for the sequel is so gorgeous!) I’m interested in seeing how things play out in the mortal world.
Deadly Little Scandals // Little White Lies was my first read of 2020 and I really enjoyed the twists at the end! I decided to get the second book from the library since they did a mid-series cover change (the worst!) and I haven’t decided if I want to repurchase the first book to have matching covers!
Loveboat, Taipei // The cover for this one is stunning, and the premise sounds wild- the protagonist’s parents think they’re sending her off to a studious summer program but it’s actually more of a club that sounds like it’s prepping its members to be on reality tv shows lol. I think it’s going to be a lot of fun!
ARCs
Girls with Razor Hearts // I am SO THRILLED to have a physical copy of this ARC! I absolutely adored the first book in the series and have no doubt that this one will be great as well! I’m also slowly getting back into dystopian
Rainbow Try a Chapter Unhaul
If I’m Being Honest // So the color for the Rainbow Try a Chapter Unhaul hosted by Lauren for the month of February is light pink. I’ve been sitting on this ARC for a while and now seems like the perfect time to try it. I’ve heard a lot of really positive things about this story and I think it’s so cool that the authors are a couple!
Owned
American Royals // So I started this book shortly after it came out and though I’m really interested in the premise, I put it on hold about 80 or so pages in and haven’t returned to it yet. I think the timing was just off for when I was trying to read it, because I couldn’t get into it at the time. I’m excited to revisit this one again!
The King of Crows // So I actually don’t know how I’m going to get my hands on this book (the rest I’ve listened to on audio from Scribd or the library but I would LIKE to own hard copies of the whole series. Depending on how long the wait is at my local library for the audiobook (and when the get it!) I may have to just buy it. I was hoping to wait until they were all out in paperback in the new covers to buy a boxed set but we will see!
Are any of these books on your TBR for February? Let me know in the comments!
Girls with Razor Hearts is AMAZING! You are going to love, love, love it!
It was really good! I can’t wait for the next book though!
I just read American Royals in two days! Once I got into it (around the 100 page mark for me) I just could not put it down!
I finally finished it and agree it really picked up in the end! The alternate history elements were so fun!
Girls with Razor Hearts is also on my February TBR! American Royals was one of my top three reads of 2019, so I hope you enjoy jumping back into it!
American Royals was definitely fun! It’s not a favorite of mine but I am very excited to read the next book in the series after the cliffhanger that American Royals left off on!
American Royals was such a fun read! Hope it’s a better fit for you this time around!
I ended up enjoying it overall! I wasn’t expecting it to end on such a cliffhanger though!
I want to read the whole Diviners series on audio too!! I read the first book ages ago and would like to just start over. I’m really excited that it’s finished and I can maybe just read straight through the series!
That was the approach I took! Although to be honest I’m STILL listening to book 4 on audio two months later…but just a little under 10 hours to go now, haha!
I hope you’ll enjoy If I’m Being Honest, it’s one of my favorite reads last year!
It was quite good, I’m excited for the new release by the authors this spring!
