First up is Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. This is a re-read for me. I am almost finished and will probably finish it by tonight or tomorrow. This book. This freaking book. Being a freshman in college myself who also occasionally writes fanfiction, Cath is literally one of the most relatable characters I've ever read. She is trying to navigate her freshman year with so much change and so much newness that I completely identify with how she is feeling. If you guys haven't picked up this book yet, do it. It's fantastic!
Next is Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare. I just want finish this book! I've been reading it since probably October and about 100 pages from finishing it. I was told that I needed to read the Infernal Devices trilogy before I finished The Mortal Instruments because of some major spoilery things that go on in the last two books (which I know, I've yet to read, I'm horrible I know) so I've been trying to do that as fast as I can but other things keep getting in the way! I do really like this book, I'm not entirely sure why people like fawn over William Herondale because literally I'm Team Jem all the way but my opinion might as I read the rest of the trilogy. I had a similar opinion of Jace until about City of Glass so who knows!
Third is Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas. I literally plowed through both Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight and then I hit a reading slump around the same time I was reading this. I don't know if I got burnt out on fantasy or what but I don't think it was specifically because of this story. Every time I pick this back up and read a little bit of it, I fall right back in love. The world is just amazing and riveting and I just want to be there (maybe as a princess because the rest of the land seems pretty gruesome to be a peasant in). Celaena is just one of the greatest female characters I've read and her discovering herself after all the drama that happened in Crown of Midnight is just perfect. I just really want to dive back into this as I'm typing!
Next we have The Spiritglass Charade by Colleen Gleason. This is the sequel to The Clockwork Scarab which I read back in about October of last year. That book was fantastic and I've read about ten pages of this and it's looking about the same. I am so interested in the Steampunk feel of this book and it's got craziness in the form of time travel and secret societies and a very handsome man from the future who I picture as Chris Hemsworth every time he's in a scene (which is totally not a bad thing either). This book I've heard deals a little more with supernatural elements than the last one so I'm excited to see how that goes, I'm sure it will be executed well and there will definitely be a review on both books once I'm finished so stay tuned for that.
Fifth is Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. This book was a bit of an impulse buy for me. I had heard a lot, and I mean a lot of hype about this book and it seemed pretty interesting. It fit along the same lines of the type of fantasy I typically read so I picked it up one day while I was at Target (but to be honest, when am I not at Target?) Anywho, I'm not too sure what this is about. I've heard like people are born with either silver or red blood which at first made me think that oops all the silver blood people have a bad case of Mercury poisoning or something but apparently they're like the elite class and the red blood people are the peasants. This girl, the main character, has red blood but I think becomes queen anyways? I'm not sure, but it does sound interesting.
Sixth and finally we have Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead. I know. I haven't read this yet. To be honest, I read Twilight in sixth grade and it completely ruined vampire books and tv shows for me until now. I rented the movie (I'm a bad reader, watching the movie before the book, I know) and I loved it. I'm not sure how different it is from the book BUT if the book is even better than the film, than that's even more reason to read it. I got the box set off of BookOutlet for like dirt cheap and so I kind of took that as an incentive to start the series. We shall see.
Okay guys, that's it for my March TBR. We'll see how I do. Spring break is all next week so I'll have the time, it's more so getting the motiviation.
Until next time!
