Monthly Wrap Up - February

I wish I had had a more exciting month reading-wise, but nah, it was pretty boring and uneventful. Insurmountably, The Heir of Fire was the best book that I read this month. Funny story though, I started reading it the day it was published in the UK (September, 2014), and even though I loved the beginning and I was so happy to get the book in my hands, I left it unfinished for several months.  'What', you may exclaim and I concur. WHAT??! How could I just leave it unfinished when it was so good?? Well, I have no answers for that question, but I think  that the fact that there was so much build-up for the future books, making the third book so different from the previous two, that I was a bit taken back by it. No excuse, though.

    1. Thanks! Even though I mainly read YA books, I try to read from all the genres because I like to think it makes me appreciate different characteristics of different genres more. :) Thanks for stopping by!

  8. Red Queen, A Darker Shade of Magic and The Last Time We Say Goodbye sound awesome! I've read Red Queen and I LOVED it but the other two, I've only read reviews. Unfortunately, I'm part of the small group of people that didn't like Sin Eater. However, I hope you have more luck than I did.
