March Wrap Up!

Hey everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today I'll be wrapping up all the books I have read in March.


Much like all of 2017 so far, I didn't read as much as I wanted to. Thankfully, my spring break is this month and I'm getting my wisdom teeth out, so I'll have plenty of downtime to read. As of right now, I am 7 books behind my schedule. Earlier I was 9 books behind, so it is a slight improvement!

Without further ado, here are the books I read in March, from worst to best.

5) Not His Girl

Not His Girl doesn't have an author name because I can't find anything at all! The book is written via wattpad, and is essentially a story where a girl kisses a mystery boy, and the mystery boy eventually moves in with the girl because he's the son of a family friend. Just less than a week later, and I barely remember any details of the book. While I had fun reading the book, it wasn't memorable at all. I wish that the characters were more expanded on so that they didn't feel one-dimensional. 

4) Black Ice by Becca Fitzpatrick

Black Ice was my first audiobook of this year! Let me tell you, I am so glad that I got back into audiobooks this year. Becca Fitzpatrick was one of the first YA authors I have read, but i know that what I loved four years ago is not what I would love now. So I set my expectations very, very low, and they were met. The book was silly and predictable, but I had fun. There was a for sure case of Stockholm's syndrome though, and I wish that the romance took a back-burner or was nonexistent. Why does the main character even need a man? 



3) The Edge of Everything by Jeff Giles
I had the awesome experience of buddy-reading this book with Clare over at Dual Reads. I haven't buddy read in such a long time, and I loved getting back into the experience. Clare and I shared a lot of similar thoughts and I liked complaining and praising the same things. My biggest flaw with this book was the insta-love. After one day, the main characters have fallen in love, and it added an aspect of silliness that made the story falter. I wrote a mini review of this one here on my blog if you want more details!

2) Did I Mention I Miss You? by Estelle Maskame
Did I Mention I Miss You is the last book in Maskame's DIMILY trilogy, which was first written on wattpad. With serious editing and growth, this series has come a long way. This book has some great themes about forgiveness and doing whats right, and I really appreciated it! However, this wouldn't be my favorite book just because there wasn't enough sexy times! It seems inconsequential, but I was hoping for more than just 2 kissing scenes in a finale. If you want to know more of my thoughts, check out my mini review of it!

1) Dark Tide by Jennifer Donnelly
Dark Tide and DIMIMY was a hard pick for best. At the end of the day, they are tied. They're completely different stories. One is a NA romance while Dark Tide is a fantasy novel about romances. I wrote a whole review of Dark Tide if you are interested. There are huge feminist vibes and I dig it so much. There is so much girl power and political intrigue as well as budding romances and AH it was so good. While I did love the first book, this is becoming a stand out series for me. 

Have you read any of these books? What books did you read in March?
