Books Are Jazzy

 In February, I have a quite bit of reading to do for my courses so my "fun" tbr for this month is shorter than normal. I only put in 5 books that I really want to read this month, other than my books for uni work. 

Most of the books that I have on this list are fairly new releases I want to catch up on, and one is the first book in a book series that I'm buddy reading with one of my friends, so I'm very excited about all of these books. So without further ado, here are the 5 books I definitely want to read in February:

• Blood of Elves by Andrzej Sapkowski
• The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab
• The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow
• Concrete Rose by Angie Thomas
• The Kingdom of Back by Marie Lu

Have you read any of the books on this list? What are your reading plans for this month?

Until next time, 

Laura

As I mentioned in my previous post, I want to spend July trying to get caught up with my various reading goals (book club books, library books, Beat the Backlist challenges, bestsellers, and so on). So at the end of June I opened up a blank word document and started figuring out what exactly I needed to read in order to hit my goals, while also staying on top of other reading "commitments" I had signed up for such as ARCs and blog tours. The final count of books came out to be 81, which frankly I'm not sure I would be able to read during the rest of the year let alone in one month. This wildly high number was partially due to falling behind on my goals and partially due to me stupidly adding more goals for myself when I was already behind on the ones I had. Realizing that it would be impossible to get through the whole list, I went through it and chose 10 books I definitely want to read. The shortened list includes ARCs and books that fit the various goals, but also just includes books that I'm excited about and want to read sooner rather than later. Without further ado, let's get into the books!

The Damned is the sequel to The Beautiful, which came out last year and which I featured in my Best Books of 2019 post. I was overjoyed to receive and ARC of The Damned from the publisher through Netgalley and it's one of my most anticipated books this month. Keep your eye out for an ARC review of this later next week!This is another ARC that I have, but one I'm behind on as the book has already been released. From what I know, A Song Below Water is a contemporary fantasy featuring mermaids, and I am so excited to start reading it!Station Eleven is a post-apocalyptic book I have wanted to read since 2017. When I noticed it was available at my local library, I chose to pick it up for an upcoming post I have planned, so this is a high priority read for me!Where Dreams Descend is one of my most anticipated releases of the year and so I was super excited when I was invited to be a part of the blog tour for it! I won't be posting my review of it until August, but I'm hoping to read it with plenty of time to spare.
