February TBR



I thought February was going to be an easy month, I'm ahead on my ARC reviewing, and I don't have that many books to review this month or next.  Then I wrote down all the stuff plan on reading and it is a little daunting.  I have a ton of stuff I want to read this month and I didn't even list out all the audiobooks I hope to get to.

I talk alot about the challenge prompts I'm working on and which books fit what prompt in my TBR and wrap-ups.  If you are interested in the prompts or want to participate along with me, the links to the challenges are below.  I'm working actively on the Popsugar and Read Harder challenges.

Books/Ebooks/ARCs

  • The Last Life of Prince Alastor by Alexandra Bracken
    • I've been reading this for 2 weeks already but I've been very distracted.  Not the books fault, I've just been kind of in a slump.  I'm hoping to finish it this weekend before it releases. This comes out February 5th.
  • The Dysasters by Kristin Cast and P.C Cast
    • I was really excited to get an ARC of this.  It looks really awesome.  This comes out February 26th.  This sounds like Twister meets X-Men meets Smallville.  Sign me up.  I love all of those things.
  • Erased, Volume 4 & 5 by Kei Sanbe
    • I read volume 1 for the Read Harder challenge and proceeded to read volumes 2 and 3 in January.  Now that I understand how to read the manga style of the book, I'm really interested in the plot.  I have these 2 volumes and hope to binge read them once I finish Prince Alastor.  I really enjoy this series and plan to review it as a series when I'm done.
  • In an Absent Dream by Seanan McGuire
    • This just came in at the library and I'm next in line on the hold list.  I'm anxious to get back to this world and see where the next door takes us.  They are so creative and usually fast paced.
  • Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve
    • I thought the movie trailer for this looked really cool, and the movie is 99% of the time better.  I thought I'd read this before I saw the movie.  I have no idea what this is about.
  • The Queen's Resistance by Rebecca Ross
    • This is the sequel to The Queen's Rising.  This comes out March 5th.  This is filled with political unrest, feuding families, star crossed lovers, and long lost magic.  The main character must work with the rightful queen and her resistance (hence the title) to help restore things to the way they should be.  I really loved the first book and I'm looking forward to getting to this one.
  • Before She Knew Him by Peter Swanson
    • This comes out March 5th.  This is a psychological thriller.  The main character is bipolar and begins to suspect that her neighbor may be a murderer, but she isn't sure of herself or if she is an unreliable narrator in her own life.  I've been really into thrillers lately and I'm looking forward to this one.  

Audiobooks

I have about 10 audiobooks on hold but I have the first two listed checked out already.  After that it is all up in the air on what comes in when.  I also recommend a bunch of new releases for purchase and I never know if and when those will show up.
  • Firestarter by Stephen King
    • This fulfills my read a book with the same title prompt.  I already started this and I'm well over halfway done with it.  I am really enjoying it.  I hope to finish it this weekend.
  • Queen of Air and Darkness by Cassandra Clare
    • This is another challenge book, Read a book by and author whose first and last name start with the same letter.    I enjoy Clare's books.  This one is fairly long, and will likely take me 2 full weeks to complete.  This is the conclusion of The Dark Artifices series I believe don't quote me on that. 
  • Bloodwitch by Susan Dennard
    • This comes out February 12th, and I've already read an early excerpt of this and I like what I've read so far. I can't wait to get the full copy, it picks up where book 3 left off and all of our favorite characters are present and on their own journeys.  I've listened to the entire series on audio so I'm going to continue on that way.  The narration is excellent and I'm excited to see where the various storylines go.  I hope to get this right away in February, but you never know with library holds.
