Hello, March! Here are all the books I read in the month of February:
1. The Unfailing Light by Robin Bridges: In this book of the Katerina trilogy, the tsar has decided against Katerina attending medical school in Switzerland. She is sent back to her old school where she is practically a prisoner, forced to stay there by a powerful spell that is meant to keep all magic out and all magic in. While The Unfailing Light wasn't as great as the first book in the series, but I enjoyed it anyway!
2. The Morning Star by Robin Bridges: I can't really say much because you need to read the first two books in the Katerina trilogy! What I can tell you is that I liked this book and I was satisfied with how the series ended! (As you can see, I liked The Morning Star better than The Unfailing Light.)
3. Say Yes to the Marquess by Tessa Dare: This book was wonderful! I love that Tessa Dare's heroines are always so intelligent and strong and Clio is no exception. She finally decides to end her long engagement (8 years!) to Piers Brandon, but his brother, Rafe, has something to say about that!
4. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon: I actually tried to read Outlander 7 years ago when it was recommended to me by a friend. I remember reading a few chapters, but not being able to get into the book. Last month, I saw the first episode of Outlander and I fell in love with it. So, I decided to give the book another try and this time, Outlander did not disappoint! I recommend both the book and the TV show!
5. These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner: Omg...I loved this book! I flew through These Broken Stars because it was just so amazing. The dynamic between Lilac and Tarver was fantastic; I loved the growth of both characters as the book progressed. The plot was entertaining and unlike any other book I have ever read. I cannot wait to get my hands on the sequel, This Shattered World!
6. Misery by Stephen King: This was the first - and only! - book I will ever read by Stephen King. Usually, horror books do not scare me, but this one creeped me out so bad! Misery reminded me of the TV show Criminal Minds times infinity - that's how scary it was for me!
7. Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas: I freaking love the Throne of Glass series! Heir of Fire was my favorite of the three books that are already out. I can't say much without spoiling the first two books, but you need to read them all!
8. The Importance of Being Alice by Katie MacAlister: I really like Katie MacAlister's books because they are funny, quick reads. This book was everything I hoped it would be. I don't know anyone else who could write a humorous story about a woman being dumped by her fiance and then stuck on her pre-honeymoon cruise with one of his friends!
9. The Madman's Daughter by Megan Shepherd: What an interesting book! It's been awhile since I've read a dark gothic novel and I enjoyed every minute of The Madman's Daughter. It was surprising and well-written and the second book in this trilogy is already in my possession!
10. Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor: This is my favorite of the ten books I read this month! Karou has no family, save for the mythical creatures who give her wishes and hugs and love her unconditionally. Her life is going great, until black hand prints begin appearing on doorways around the world and Karou comes face-to-face with the creature responsible for this. Daughter of Smoke and Bone was entertaining and fast-paced and I'm glad that the other two books in this trilogy are already out!
There you have it! I read some pretty darn good books in February and I can't wait to see what March has in store for me!

January 2015 Wrap-Up
February is here and it is monthly wrap-up time! I have some pretty awesome books and some not-so-awesome books to talk about today.
1. Wicked by Jennifer L. Armentrout: JLA has done it again! I seriously love everything that she writes and this book is no exception. In Wicked, there is a mystery, gorgeous guy, aka Ren, and a heroine named Ivy, who is about to have her world turned upside down. If love any of Jennifer's books, then you will love this one, too!
2. I Adored a Lord by Katharine Ashe: So, this book is a lot of romance with a little mystery thrown in, which I usually like, but I had some trouble really getting into this book. Basically: clever lady + handsome lord = perfect match. So, I guess I Adored a Lord wasn't anything great, but it wasn't awful either.
3. Midnight Thief by Livia Blackburne: In this book, Kyra is a thief who is more than she appears and Tristam is somewhat of a knight-in-shining-armor. I have to say that I was disappointed by this book. I had heard some pretty good things about it, but Midnight Thief didn't live up to my expectations.
4. Hereafter by Kate Brian: This is the second book in the Shadowlands series and I really enjoyed it. I can't go into too much detail because it would ruin the first book, Shadowlands. Basically, Rory, her sister, and her father are the newest arrivals to the island of Juniper Landing and strange things are happening. I do recommend this series and can't wait to get my hands on the third book!
5. The Bane Chronicles by Cassandra Clare: I really enjoyed this collection of short stories about my favorite warlock, Magnus Bane. The stories were witty and sarcastic, especially what I'd expect from Cassandra Clare. I enjoyed learning about what makes Magnus tick and why he is the way he is.
6. Magic Hour by Kristin Hannah: What a fantastic book! I've only read Winter Garden, which made me laugh and cry and want to hug everyone I love. Magic Hour was the same way; and I want to read more! This book is a must read if you're a Kristin Hannah fan.
7. Mortal Heart by Robin LaFevers: This is the final book in the His Fair Assassin trilogy and it was pretty darn good. Mortal Heart is about Annith, who is impatiently waiting for her chance to leave the covenant and become the assassin she has been training to be all her life. What Annith encounters along the way changes her for the better. This series is fantastic!
8. Never Judge a Lady by Her Cover by Sarah MacLean: I feel like I can't tell you too much about this book! The identity of a certain character in this book has been a secret since the first book in the Rules of Scoundrels series and telling you what Never Judge a Lady by Her Cover is about would ruin the surprise! However, you won't be disappointed if you read this series!
9. A Little Night Magic by Lucy March: This book is about Olivia, a young woman living in a small town, who finds out that she is magical and that someone wants her dead because of that. I thought this book was entertaining, funny, and a little dark, too. I recommend it if you're looking for a quick read!
10. Desire by P.T. Michelle: I am a huge Nara and Ethan fan, so I was super excited to read this book! Desire is the fourth book in the Brightest Kind of Darkness series, which is about Nara and Ethan, who share an intense connection and paranormal/supernatural powers of sorts. I love these books; they just keep getting better and better!
Feel free to share in the comments below the books you read in the month of January!
