Another month is behind us (already). I was pretty good with my February to reads. I ended up reading a book that wasn’t on my list, The Riverman, which had me skip one that was, Dear Killer. I also only made it mid-way through Let the Storm Break. This book is taking me forever to read.
This month’s books:
Half Bad by Sally Green, The Shadow Prince (Into the Dark #1) by Bree Despain, The Edge of Falling by Rebecca Serle, The Tyrant’s Daughter by J.C. Carleson, Sekret by Lindsay Smith, She is Not Invisible by Marcus Sedgwick, Dark Eden by Chris Beckett, Unspoken by Sarah Rees Brennan, Dear Killer by Katherine Ewell
Sadly, looking at my to read list I’m less than enthusiastic about some of these titles. A lot of them were requested when I was on a frenzy of requesting books because of hype I’d heard. Now looking at early ratings I’m less excited. Of course, there are some scattered in there I’m very excited about. We’ll see how this turns out. I could see this month going much different than expected. We’ll see.
There is only one title up there that is not for review- that being Unspoken. I’ve heard great things about this series so I’m excited to try it out.
I have a couple of interviews in the works but I don’t have a clear idea of when I’ll be posting. There will be more Lego Cover Art and reviews of course. I have a discussion post I’m excited to share as well.
Woot, we should read Shadow Prince and Dark Eden together since I still need to read those!
You have Dark Eden? Yes! Let’s read them both together. I need to finish Half Bad and Let the Storm Break but then I’ll be read to start one 🙂
I reeeally want to read Dear Killer! I haven’t heard fabulous things about it yet though… :/ Which is worrying me! I hate it when I get hyped up for a book and then it falls sort of flat. I’d like to read Half Bad too, so I’m totally keen on seeing your thoughts. 🙂 It looks like a good haul…I hope they turn out to be awesome for you! Also: more Lego covers is GREAT news!! 🙂
I’m with you about Dear Killer. I’ve heard pretty bad things so far but maybe it’ll still be good?? We can hope. I finished Half Bad so should have a review soonish. I’m debating between two different covers for the next Lego…once I decide we’ll get started on it 🙂
The Shadow Prince: BLEH. I hated it but curious of your thoughts.
Half Bad: Eep! I want that one badly.
Dear Killer: Reading this one this month as well I think.
Awesome list and happy reading! <33
Yep, I’ve heard a lot of negative about The Shadow Prince and Dear Killer. I’m scared! I can’t wait to see what you think of Half Bad when you read it.
I’m reading The Shadow Prince right now, and it’s kind of MEH for me too. BUT I can’t wait to hear what you think about Unspoken. I thought it was marvelously clever 😉
All I’ve heard about The Shadow Prince is that it is meh. This really bums me out because I wanted it to be amazing. I guess we’ll see. I am so excited about Unspoken 🙂
I’m really excited about Sekret and Dear Killer! I’m kind of taking a break from ARC’s this month so I can catch up on some library reads. Good luck with the not-so-exciting titles!
I hope I’m surprised by some of them and enjoy them more than I expect. I have heard some pretty bleh things about Dear Killer…I’m just a tad scared tor read it. Have fun catching up on your library books!
Aw. I’m sorry that you haven’t gotten farther on Let the Storm Break. But fingers crossed you will finish it soon. <3 And hoping you'll get to read all these books 😀 I read Sekret, and I did not enjoy it much :\ Sniffs. But hoping you might 🙂 Happy reading Kristen. <3
I finally finished LtSB 🙂 I attempted to load my copy of Sekret and it had expired so I guess I’ll be marking that off my list. I need to go and read your review and see why it didn’t work for you.
You are going to LOVE Unspoken, but you are also going to want to punch it in the face a little bit, too. Totally worth it, though.
Because of this comment I decided to start Unspoken last night! I’m already intrigued 🙂
What a great reading pile! Unspoken has a great cover – I’ve been meaning to pick up a physical copy!
I’m curious to hear what people think about Dear Killer – it seems too dark and twisted to be YA…
I hope you enjoy your reads this month 🙂
I love the cover for Unspoken too. I’m sad that the second book has a different styled cover…but that happens. I agree about Dear Killer and to be honest I’ve not seen good things so far :-/
Ah! That are some great books, as I have heard. I haven’t read any of them yet though. I hope you enjoy all of them 🙂
Thank you Sandra!
Great list! I have The Shadow Prince to read too! I’ve already read Unspoken, but I need to get on it with Untold, haha. Hope you enjoy them!
Thank you Cyn! Did you enjoy Unspoken? I’m surprised that though it uses a lot of typical YA tropes I’m enjoying it.
I have Dark Eden and can’t wait to dive into it. I hope it is good!
The Tyrant’s Daughter looks good! I had not heard of it previously.
Oh! I’m so glad to hear you have Dark Eden too. I don’t know many people that have it. I can’t wait to hear what you think. I’m reading The Tyrant’s Daughter now and enjoying it.
