 This is Julia and welcome back to my channel and for today's video I'm going to be doing my March reading, wrap up talking about all the books that I read in the month of March. So this month I read a total of seven books, some poetry, some novels and yeah I'm super excited to talk about them with you guys today. Next up here I read Orange Future by Ichigo Takano. This is a manga series. It does have a picture warning for suicide and if you don't know Orange is a manga series there's you you can buy the two big bindups and that's the end. Then they came out with this which is just a little line about what happens after and it was just so special and I missed this so much and it manages to talk about like serious subject matter but throw in some like cute parts and some like comic relief a little bit. I just love the story and the characters so like I was super happy to be back with all of them. Give this one a 4 out of 5 stars. Here I read one that I tabbed the hell out of and that is Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. I tabbed it so much it's color-coded the whole book is highlighted. Yeah so we had to read this for my English class if you don't know Frankenstein is about a man named Victor Frankenstein who creates a monster and has to live with the consequences and there's so much more of the plot of Frankenstein than that but I'm sure you have an idea of what this story is about because it is such a classic. I loved this so much and I loved being able to study it in class. I love the symbolism. I loved reading it. I read like a head of our reading schedule because I was so excited to read it. I loved the dark writing. I know her writing is probably not for everybody but I loved like the dark tone that this book had. She does use like the same words over and over again. Like the word anime got me so annoyed because it's used so often but that's not the point but it's so well written but she does like reuse the same words over and over again which is something that I noticed but it was so dark and symbolic and tragic and it was just I loved it so much. I was so happy with it. I didn't think I would love it as much as I did so I ended up giving this a solid 4.5 out of 5. Next up here I read faithful by Alice Hoffman. I actually listened to the audiobook of this one. This is about a girl named Shelby whose best friend is in a serious accident and she is left to deal with the guilt and the consequences and it's about her life from when this accident happens to like adulthood and all the things that come with that and her in a dark place and it's a very like serious book and it was for how short it was it really did peck a punch. There was so many things that this book had like it's there was dogs there was bookstores like there was dudes there was food there was like it was just a really interesting book and I'm really glad I ended up reading it this month. It's just a really like nice coming-of-age story and overall I was pretty happy with it. The audiobook was like a good call for me so if you see this around check it out. Next up here we have a release that everyone is talking about and everyone is reading but that is for Stormy by Tanara Moffi. This is the fourth book in the Shatter Me series. So book one Shatter Me is about this girl named Juliette whose touch is lethal and she's taken by the reestablishment and forced into isolation and then is used as like a weapon and it's about her in that situation so this is the fourth installment. The first three books came out a while ago I read them a long time ago. I loved them when I read them and then this came out. I like screamed when I saw it in the book store especially because they had it out early but overall I did enjoy this one. It's not my favorite. I'm still happy to be back but part of me is like maybe I would have been fine with the three books that there were which is kind of an unpopular opinion. The characters and stuff Warner was obviously Warner I love him and Kenji was everything in this book. Juliette pissed me off so bad towards the end of this. Like I wanted to just like throw the book across the room. I was like honey stop. Ending was also a big turn. Overall I did like it. It's just not my favorite but I gave it a solid 3.5 out of 5. I'm definitely gonna be continuing and I would suggest picking this up if you did if you do like the first three books. Next up here I read Reflected in You and this is by I didn't write the author's name down but it's on the screen. This book is an adult smite romance novel. It's the second in the Crossfire series which book one is basically just about these two people. They meet through a business. They work together. He's the boss of course because that's the way these stories go apparently. Impressed by book one because it was like 50 shades but done like 20 times better but like not good because like I don't know how to explain it. I was impressed with book one because I could not put this thing down for the life of me. Book two pissed me off so bad like I'm so done with this series. I was quick. I will give it that but it's 50 shades but this one was done worse and it was just too dramatic for me. Too much drama. It was just annoying. That's all I have to say. It just irritated me. The characters irritated me. The plot got on my nerves. It just wasn't great so I ended up giving this one two stars. Step I have the Wicked Deep and this is by Shay Earnshaw. I don't think I pronounced that right. Sorry. This book is so interesting and was... as soon as I heard about it I was super excited about it. Basically it's a YA fantasy-esque kind of book. It takes place in our modern world but it takes place in 1822 so it does have that historical element I guess. It takes place in origin and it's about the Swan sisters so it's about the witch trials and the three these three girls that were drowned in this town and every year they come back to take another person and the town has to live with this. It's a small town. It's one of those mysterious kind of books. It's very interesting and we follow like different perspectives and it was really nice. I did like I was... I thought it was really well done. I had like mixed feelings about the writing at times. I was like yes and then at times I was like okay like it's fine. Such a cool concept and like I loved the love interest and I loved like so many things about this but also at the same time it was really predictable. I figured it out. One part I didn't figure out but then the other thing that happened I did figure out but overall I think it does deserve the hype it's getting. I don't think it's like a five star read for me but it was like a solid 3.75 for me and if this does sound intriguing to you definitely pick it up. It's also beautiful. Like look. Last but not least we have She Felt Like Nothing by R.H. Sin. It's on this by Andrews McMeal Publishing in exchange for an honest review. They sent me an early copy so thank you so much to them. This book actually comes out in April so this month and it's a poetry collection. I'm sure you guys have heard of R.H. Sin before and I talk about it all the time. I love his work. For me this one was good but it wasn't as up to par with his other ones. I think it does have a different vibe than his other collections and his smaller ones always lack for me. I don't know why. Like this one in Ella Jodonic were like good but not his best and that's how I felt about this one. It was good but not great. I'm gonna give this one a 3.5 out of 5 stars. Definitely if you're gonna start with R.H. Sin I wouldn't recommend starting here but if you are a fan of his work give this one a try. It is still enjoyable and I did still like a lot of the poems in here. If you guys have it those are the books that I read in the month of March. Let me know your thoughts.
