March 2019: Monthly Recap

Welcome to my monthly recap post, in which I highlight the books I read in the last month, bookish items I acquired, book events I attended, bookish news, and/or subscription boxes I received this month.

With a Kindle Unlimited subscription, I once again binge read a lot of contemporary romance this month. But here are a few of my favorite books I read in March.

★★★★★
Gah! This story was perfection. I was swooning so hard over Rory and Nash’s relationship. I loved their banter and their chemistry was so sweet and steamy. Just thinking about Rory’s fierceness and Nash’s foul mouth makes me want to fall in love with their relationship all over again!

★★★
Check out my full review here.

★★★★★
This was a reread for me. I adore Jenn Bennett’s books, and I wanted to fall in love with this story all over again. Check out my full review here.

★★★★
This is the last book of a series (a series I have not fully read yet…oops…I’m reading books out of order, lol). But the synopsis caught my eye and I was told I could read the books out of order or even just as stand-alone. The love story is very cute and I enjoyed all the cute banter.

★★★★

Thank you to Imprint Books and Fierce Reads for sending me a review copy of Symptoms of a Heart Break. I look forward to reading and reviewing it.

I should have a review up soon. This book was such a cute contemporary.

★★★★
Gah! I loved this book. I’m still on the fence between a 4 to 5-star read, but you guys, the SWOONS, and the PIE, and realistic relationship awkwardness was just perfect. I will be posting a full review at the end of February.

As a lot of you may know, I am a huge fan of Jenn Bennett and her contemporary books. A few weeks ago, a publicist at Simon Pulse emailed me regarding an early copy of Serious Moonlight and I freaked out and immediately said “yes, please.” You guys, I devoured this book and I cannot wait to share my thoughts soon. 

Books for Trade on Twitter came to the rescue again. I adored Margaret Rogerson’s An Enchantment of Ravens, so I was so excited when someone offered to trade their ARC of Sorcery of Thorns through the hashtag. I cannot wait to read it.
