Reading Roundup

February has come and gone sooo quickly. I've spent most of it chilling, thinking "It's cool, my deadlines aren't until March," and suddenly March is a weekend away. I guess I better get my head down. Before that though, since I tried out a pretty in-depth TBR for February, I'm going to try a little roundup, summarise my thoughts and linking you all to the reviews if you missed them. Anyway, here's how my February has gone:


Slated

Rating: ★★

It kinda pained me to give a book such a low rating. I get super passionate when I love a book, and super passionate when I really don't, but when it comes to writing the latter kind of passion in a review, I'm constantly thinking about the author whose work I'm being critical of. I've got to be honest though, that's what reviews are for, and I've tried to balance my negatives with the positives. Find it here.



Will Grayson, Will Grayson

Rating: ★★★

Not my favourite John Green book, but it was good. After having it sit on my bookshelf for months, it was a little bit disappointing. I mean, all I was really expecting was good old John Green, but I guess meaning to read something for so long just builds expectations from nothing. You can find my review here.



The Heir

Rating: ★★★★

I got pretty dresses. I got royalty. I got romance. I had my issues but I got what I wanted. Plus, I read it in 48 hours max. It must have been good. I'm aware that my review might not quite match up to my rating. But I did love it. I just chose to put a lot of focus of the problems I did have. You can read it here.




We All Looked Up

Rating: ★★★

I loved the concept, and the apocalyptic feel. The friendships were slow to get going which, at first, I was disappointed by, but now that I've finished the book, I realise that it made it realistic. People don't normally just instantly become friends, and that stood in this book. You can read my full review here.




All I Know Now

It's this month's LUCKY BOOK!! All that means is that it wasn't on my TBR but I finished all the books that were. It's probably going to carry over and I'm enjoying it so far. Being only a few years younger than Carrie, I'm reading it having finished school, but so much of it is still so relevant.
