I hope everyone had a great February! Mine was filled with work, tons of reading, trying to catch up on reviews and failing 😅😂
Books read this month:
All of this month I read spooky books. I started off with some Salem witch trial action, then I moved onto some ghosty action, and then I moved into the realm of nightmares! I really loved the first two books, and the Dreamfall duology was pretty good too.
Next came a book about demons and exorcisms (meh), then more creepy/wacky Tales from the Gas Station (loved!), a mystery/thriller with a classic premise (that I loved in the beginning, hated the plot twist, but was kinda okay with the end? Idk... I have mixed feeling about Alone), and then a haunted freaking Ikea (it was really funny and really creepy!)
And last, I binge read the entire Scary Mary series 😅 Don't love the direction the romance went, but I literally love everything else! Such a fun, interesting series!
This month I ended up reading 15 books, with the last 7 books being quite short at 200 pages and under, so that definitely helped.
Favorite book of the month:
I of course have to go with Volume 2 of Tales from the Gas Station! I love this world and the characters and the absolutely bizarre situations Jack finds himself in. Its' a great blend of horror and comedy!
Least favorite book of the month:
This book was meh, at best. I love horror movies, but some of my least favorite are exorcism movies because they're all the same and I don't find them very scary at all. I had the same issue with this book, unfortunately. Plus, I wasn't the biggest fan of the main character 🤷♀️

I read Horrorstör last year and I had SO much fun reading it. All the little links towards Ikea were so much fun.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked Cinder, I devoured the whole Lunar Chronicles series already, it's so good :)
Right? The idea of a haunted Ikea was just so much fun! I have also read the entire TLC series (it's amazing!)... I'm just really behind on reviewing it 😅 But what else is new? 😂
DeleteWow, you really were super busy!! Happy March!
ReplyDeleteThe short books helped 😅
DeleteThank you! Happy March to you as well! 😁
Ah, I had fun with Horrorstör, but going into an IKEA has never been the same since. :D
ReplyDeleteOh I bet! After all the creepiness in the book... yikes. Lol.
DeleteMy favorite for this month ended up being Two Steps Forward. I do enjoy ghost story books. Not to creepy that I end up stay up all night or just can not sleep at night. I already do that on my own. Check out my wrap up when you have time - https://nrcbooks.blogspot.com/2020/02/monthly-wrap-up-february-2020.html
ReplyDeleteI totally get that. It is very hard for me to get creeped out by books... or even movies. I guess I just watch so much horror that I'm almost desensitized to and I can sleep like a baby. Lol. 🤷♀️
DeleteHorrorstor was a funny, yet creepy one! I also loved How to Hang a Witch! You read some great books this month!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my February Wrap-Up at Lisa Loves Literature.
Yes! Both of those books were great! Thanks!
