I Did Really Good This Month | March Haul 2022

I Did Really Good This Month | March Haul 2022

Mar 27, 2022

I actually had a really good month. If you have been a while you know that I always buy so many books each month. But March was very toned down for me. In my defence I buy a lot of books for many reasons, the main being that I manage a bookstore and I’m in it 5 days a week, sooo. It’s hard. 

Anyway, let’s get into it. Today I’m sharing the books that I bought and received in March. There is a mix of books this month. From romances as normal to some young adults and even some special editions of books. There is also a range of books I bought myself or received as arcs and reading copies Enough talk, let’s get into it. As always these are in no order. 

The Agathas by Kathleen Glasgow and Liz Lawson | League of Liars by Astrid Scholte | I Must Betray You. by Ruta Sepetys | A Lady’s Guide to Fortune-Hunting by Sophie Irwin.

And there we go! Those are the books that I bought and received this march. What did you get this month? Have you read anything on my list? Let’s Chat!

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?
