Finally! January and February were amazing months because I started reading and writing reviews again 😭 If you’ve ever had a reading slump (and who haven’t?), you know how blissful it feels when it stops at last. So what were my favorite books during these two months? Fantasy novels, of course, but surprisingly, there are quite a few science-fiction books in my top ten list. Perhaps 2021 really is the year I’ll thrive with them? Let’s hope!
Before we start : I’m hosting an INTL giveaway on Twitter to win one of those amazing books (see at the end of the post for details)
But without waiting more, here are the novels that brightened the first two months of the year! For the books I didn’t review, I’ve linked to reviews written by amazing bloggers (seriously, I’m such in awe 😭).
- Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas : young adult fantasy → read Fadwa’s fantastic review
- Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson : young adult fantasy → read my review
- Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender : young-adult contemporary → read Chaima’s review, it’s wonderful!
- These Violent Delights (These Violent Delights, #1) by Chloe Gong : young-adult fantasy → I fell in love with CW’s review, go read it!
- The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson : adult science-fiction → read Chaima’s beautiful review
