 It's a little library and welcome to today's video, but before we get started I would like to remind you to click subscribe down below as I do make videos every Sunday and Wednesday. But welcome to my February TBR. It might be a little messy, but here it is. The video is going up a little bit later in the month and it's only, I'm filming this like one week into February and I've already finished two books on my TBR, so I'm not going to include those in this TBR because now I've already read them, but I will include them in my wrap-up. But fun fact, like half of the books that I want to read this month all have red spines, so it's probably gonna be the thumbnail and this is what I'm probably gonna concentrate on before Valentine's Day because some of them are romance or have romance elements to them, but they also just happened to have a red spine, so that's really, really fun. I've created kind of a bigger TBR for myself than what I meant to because each month I will set about six books for me to read, but then what happened this month is, so I've got those six books. I got audiobooks that I put on hold a long time ago that are just now coming in. I'm like, oh now I want to like read them, so it's gonna be a little longer than what I was planning for it to be, but hopefully I can still get them done considering I've been on a really good reading kick recently. Anyway, so let's just get started talking about the specific books. So the first one is a romance and this is So My Are Between Better and Sweet and this is by Lea Kinsey and I wanted to pick this one up because I mean partially because it's a romance, but also partially because I've been reading so many like baking and cooking themed romances and I thought, you know, while I'm sitting here reading them and enjoying them, why don't I just finish all the ones that I want to. So this is one that centers around two main characters, one who her father owns a Nacho's Harko place, but she really wants to osa pastelaria or like a little bakery or another shop right next to her father's, but that conflicts with her parents idea of a perfect Mexican daughter that they have for her, but we also follow our male main character and he gets a job at her father's Nacho place and he is facing issues not only just with the restaurant but also with his own immigration status and I think this could be a very heart-wrenching read and but it's also again centered around Latinx food like a Mexican food and I am excited to continue to read more. Then we're just gonna continue with the red spine so it's not gonna be in any sort of order, but I have Ruin and Rising by Lea Bardugo. It's the third in the initial Grisha vs Trilogy. I yeah I read Season Storm in like December slash January. I read it recently and so now I just kind of want to finish the trilogy maybe even before the second season comes out because it'd be nice to just have the trilogy finished and then I can move on to the Six of Crows duology, but I thought oh how funny has a red spine. There is a main romance plot in here that I currently hate but we'll see how it goes so I hope to pick up this one pretty soon. And then one that I have just started reading is it ends in fire and this is by Andrew Schwarz and this is much more fantasy. I don't even think there are romance elements in it but that's okay. Not everything I read needs to be romance in February. This is about our main character who is a sorcerer who is a wizard but her parents were rebels and they didn't like the institution of the magic society and how it rules over everything and so she goes to infiltrate the magic school and just burn it all to the ground and kind of live out her parents rebel dream in a way. I like the catchphrases for this. They came to learn she came to burn like this will be an interesting read. Then the last red spine that I have is one that I started last year. So a new goal that I am just now kind of studying for myself is I had about like four books on my good reads currently reading that have just been living there. Like I started it and I just put it down but I'm not DNF-ing it. I want to pick it back up. I just haven't yet for whatever reason. So like January I finished Anna of Cleave which was I was currently reading for two years. I was finally able to include my January wrap-up. I finally finished it. I was so excited. So I decided that the next one that I'm going to try and get off of my currently reading that's been there for a little while is How We Follow Apart by Katie Zhao and again Red Spine, How in the World. But I have started reading this. I'm about a hundred pages in It's Dark Academia. I want to read this really badly. I just don't know why I haven't picked it back up. Like I guess I just I've been so excited to read the next book that I forgot that I'm currently reading this book and I'm enjoying it. So this follows a friend group where one of their friends has just died and now everyone's like vying for the top spot in the school but also like did one of the friends do it and then there's someone who's like sending out little texts to everybody being like some one of you did it. I know that and I'm gonna make your lives miserable. So by exposing all your secrets it's not a long book. I think I just need to sit down and read it for like a day or two and just get it done. I've got two more romances that aren't red colored spines that I do want to read this month. Oh my goodness this is becoming such a big TBR but the first one that I really want to read is Loveboat Reunion by Abigail Hing when I was so excited when this book came out. I bought this the day it came out. I went after work to Barnes and Noble and I bought it and I was so excited. This is like the sequel slash companion novel but like takes place after Loveboat Taipei and I very much enjoyed that and so when I heard that this was coming into existence I was very excited. So I picked this up and I thought you know it's the perfect month to read it. It just came out and it's romance. So I will be hopefully picking this up soon as well. And the last romance that I want to pick up this month is called Sway with Me and this is by Sayeed Emasud. This is a YA romance. It has to do... It takes place in South Asia. I'm not sure if it's specifically India but it has to do with matchmaking and someone I believe breaking up a match upon a parent's request or something like that. And so I believe that our main characters do a dance at a wedding that is like so it caught my eye for many different reasons both the cover and when I actually knew the summary I liked it. Plus yeah I just thought it could be a fun like mischievous romance contemporary book. So hopefully I will be getting to this somewhat soon as well. Now let's move on to some of the other books where like they're not necessarily romance or they're not books that I had planned to read this month but now I have the audiobook and I've been wanting to read them so like yeah let's do that. The first one is Caravall by Stephanie Garver. I've been wanting to read this trilogy for a long time and I know people who just love this trilogy so I finally got the audiobook. I'm finally gonna sit down and read this book. I also started reading Curse of the Specter Queen. I'm not super far in. I started reading it so it'd be kind of cool to finish it. I think there is a romance subplot in here that I'm going to enjoy. Who knows? This is like a female Indiana Jones but they're also dealing with Irish and Celtic mythology which if you know me that is my passion that it's what I live for so I need to hurry up and finish this because I think I think the reason I haven't finished it is because I don't want it to end. I don't want to have read it and then be done with it. I just want it to constantly live on. I also have The Ten Thousand Doors of January. This is by Alex E. Harrow and this is just an audiobook that I picked up randomly like there was a prompt for a read-a-thon and I was like oh this book that's it oh I didn't get it and now all of a sudden I have it and I'm like well now that I have it I'm gonna read it. I'm not gonna just give it up so I don't really know much about what this one was but I think it was very moving for a lot of people so we'll see and then oh back to romance I do have one more romance that I am going to read that I will mention here and I'm going to be starting the romance book club this is by Lisa K. Adams. I've heard lots of like good things about the first one and then maybe about the one that just came out but I just think the concept sounds adorable it's these men going to a romance book club to kind of learn how to I don't know if it's like impress their women or be in a healthy relationship or just help them with their relationship problems but it just sounds adorable and it sounds exactly like what we need. Finally I do have one more book that I am reading it is Fantasy Romance but I'm not gonna mention it because I am doing a secret reading vlog that should be going up sometime next week before Valentine's Day because it has romance as the main theme so I thought it'd be a lot of fun and so I'm not gonna mention what it is because I would kind of spoil it it is a blind date book that I'm doing so keep an eye out for that blind date reading vlog that will be going up soon after this ish but it's a lot easier to keep an eye out for if you subscribe so click down below to subscribe as I said I post every Sunday and Wednesday otherwise feel free to like this video let me know in the comments if you've read any of these books or if you want to read any of these books or even if you have a recommendation for February for me like I'll always take recommendations but otherwise I do have a bunch of bookish social media down below that you can follow me and I will follow you back and we can talk about books together it'll be grand and until I see you all in the next video I wish you happy reading
