A Really Late February Wrap Up

First I'd like to say sorry that this is so late and that I did not put up a TBR for this month. I am also currently in a reading slump, which is really sad because I had a bunch of review books I was going to read this month. Although I am going to try to get out of it by watching way to much Netflix. :D Also I am just getting over being sick. So anyway on to the really late wrap up...

Last month I read a lot of books and I am extremely happy. :D In total, I read nine books and I enjoyed most of them. Some were not so good.

The first book I read was Chestnuts: A True Story About Being Bullied by Gilbert Ohanian. I gave this a 2.5 stars out of 5 stars. I have a more in depth review and I will leave the link below.
I picked up Einstein's Beach House by Jacob M Appel next. I really liked this book. It was quirky, entertaining, and heartbreaking all at the same time! Also I wrote a review for this and I will leave the link below as well.

Then I read The Shinning by Stephen King, which was absolutely amazing! I loved this book. The characters and plot were amazing. I would read this book over and over again and I probably will! I gave this a 5 out of 5 stars and if it was possible I would give it more and I cannot wait to read the sequel, Doctor Sleep! Next I read Bobo by Richard Schiver, which is a short story that I downloaded on my kindle. I gave this a 2 out of 5 stars. I just didn't like it.

I finished The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare by reading the last two books, which are called City of Lost Souls and City of Heavenly Fire! Oh my god, this series is freaking amazing! I can't get enough and I wish it didn't end! I gave both books 5 out of 5 stars! Ugh I can't wait to re-read the series. It also made me want to read the Infernal Devices or the Bane Chronicles. (I cannot get enough of Alec and Magnus...just saying.)

Then I started Rising Tide: Dark Innocence by Claudette Melanson, who is so sweet. I really liked this book. It was really good and it put me in the mood to read more vampire books. I gave this book a 4 stars out of 5 stars. :D Also I did a review for this one and I will leave the link below. :D

The Patmos Deception by Davis Bunn was the next book I read. I thought this was good and I gave it a 3 out of 5 stars. I posted a review for this book and I will leave it below if you'd like to know more about how I felt.

Lastly, I finished my TBR jar pick for February, which was The Warrior Heir by Cinda Williams Chima. I highly enjoyed this book. I really liked the main character and the plot. I will definitely go on to read the sequel, which I believe is the Wizard Heir. I could be wrong. Haha

That is all I read in the month of February. Leave a comment telling me what you read in February. Happy Reading

Severance by Michael Pristsos and Jessica Mastroakos

My Rating: 3.5/5 Stars Average Rating: 3.67 Stars Pages: 380 ISBN-13: 9871500392710 *I received a free copy of Severance in exchange for an honest review* "To be born Gaian is to be born gifted. That wasn’t always true, but as more infants were born with special talents of the mind, what was once considered abnormal became the majority. The ungifted were sent to Thalassa, an island chain off the coast of the mainland. These orphans grew up in a vassal kingdom forced to pay dues to its overseers.  In Severance, the first book of The Sovereign, a Thalassan soldier and orphan gets wind of a plot against his island home and wages war against its oppressors. A captain’s daughter fights for a love across the cultural divide. An assassin’s need for power takes him on a bloody journey throughout both lands. And a princess tells the biggest lie in her nation’s history, protecting her family’s right to rule."- Goodreads  Severance was a good novel about the struggles tho...

Lost Time: The Adventure Begins by Norbert Monfort

⭐️ My Rating: 1/5 Stars Pages: 70 ISBN:  9781500391904 *I received a free copy of Lost Time: The Adventure Begins in exchange for a honest review* " Robert Ridgely was a young professional living a rather mundane existence, but one he enjoyed. One day, Robert awakes to find he can't remember how he arrived at his destination. The more he finds out about what happened, the more confused he gets and the more time he realizes he's lost from his memory. As Robert persists, eventually he is drawn into an adventure that would change his life forever and place him on a path that he could never have imagined." -Goodreads I really wanted to like this book, but I ended up actually hating it. The biggest problem I had was that there is no character development and very little world building. Due to this, I couldn't connect or grow to like the characters.  In fact, I kinda disliked them all and didn't care about their lives. If this story was longer and made...
