two friends and too many books
**Disclaimer: I received a free copy of Legendborn by Tracy Deonn through a Goodreads Giveaway. Thank you to them.
Legendborn by Tracy Deonn is a YA Fantasy novel that deals with Arthurian legends. It’s about a girl named Bree who attends a pre-college program after the death of her mother. While dealing with her grief, she gets caught up in a greater conspiracy that might have something to do with her mother’s death. I loved it, and rated it 5 stars.
After a stellar reading month in February, I’m excited to jump into the month of March and to see what books I’ll read then. I’m participating in the TBR Tackle Challenge once more, and I’m definitely excited because it’s made me check off a lot of books from my TBR even two months into the year.
February was an unexpectedly good reading month for me. I ended up reading 32 books, which is amazing considering it’s more than there are days in the month. I’m really impressed with myself, especially since I hit my goal of 50 books minimum this year. I also picked up some really exciting books this month. You’ll find them all below the cut!

**Disclaimer: I received a free advanced readers copy of The Initial Insult by Mindy McGinnis through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this opportunity.
The Initial Insult by Mindy McGinnis is a young adult contemporary mystery novel. However, it is also a retelling of one of Edgar Allan Poe’s classic stories. It revolves around two girls, Felicity and Tress. Felicity was with Tress’ parents when they went missing seven years ago, and Tress has plans to figure out what happened to them. The Initial Insult is set to be published on February 23rd. I rated it four stars on GoodReads.
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue was one of my favourite books of 2020. I got it as an eARC, and I was absolutely obsessed with it. It was really beautifully written, and I really loved the story. Overall, it just really worked for me. So when I finished reading it, I knew that I had to try and get the OwlCrate box. I was lucky enough to have gotten a box, and overall I was really pleased with it.
January marked the start of a brand new reading year. I’m excited for a fresh start and to read some really good books. I’m hoping to be able to tick more books off of my physical TBR, so I’ve joined a TBR challenge through bookstagram. Five of the books I read this month are from that.

***Disclaimer: I received a free early access copy of Star Wars The High Republic: Into the Dark by Claudia Gray from NetGalley through Disney Lucasfilm Press for review purposes. Thank you so much for opportunity.
I’ve been in such a Star Wars mood lately! All thanks to my husband, who is making his way chronologically through every Star Wars book. We also watched Clone Wars and Rebels rather recently and the stories in those really got my hooked as well.
I haven’t had the pleasure of reading Claudia Gray’s other Star Wars books, however, this one has definitely sealed my fate.
