Bookish Posts and Books Read of Week of February 19th through February 25th
I really jinxed myself last week when we were getting warmer temps, because this week we got like at least a foot of snow haha It has not stopped! While we need all the snow, we are also not used to such a wet winter, although come spring and summer time, it will be awesome! So this week was a good week of reading! For some reason, I got in the mood for Keir and Lara, so I might have done a reread on most of the series. If you love epic fantasy romance, these are my favorites, and they are so underrated and deserve more love. So if you love authors like C.L. Wilson, Jeffe Kennedy, Amanda Bouchet, then these books are for you! Just trust me. I did grab up some books not on my weekly TBR, which was different but good. I had a great mix this week and was a solid week at 9 books. Which is really good considering I wasn’t able to listen as much this week with work being a lot busier.
(All my books read and their reviews are on Goodreads, I have linked for you)

Book reread-Warprize by Elizabeth Vaughan—This was such a great reread. This is the first book in the Warlands series, and man this book is so beautiful! LOVED it.
Book ReRead-Warsworn by Elizabeth Vaughan—This book is a hard one to read, but is still powerful and relevant to what happens in the finale So it was so good revisiting this.
Book ReRead-Warlord by Elizabeth Vaughan—This is where the love is tested in such a great way and seeing the characters really grow and find how strong their rleationship is. I loved seeing what these two are made of and find themselves
Book ReRead-Warsong by Elizabeth Vaughan–This is the finale and I really loved getting back to this one, but most specifically for the side couple because them finding coming back together after it being built up was so fabulous!

Current Reads
I honestly don’t know what my reading mood is, so this is my current reading lineup haha I did neglect my TBR last week, so lets try it again. My Audiobook is going to be Harmony of Lies although I may switch back and forth with the ebook, I originally got a ARC of this and I just have never been in the mood to read it lol Only You is at the top of my lineup for today, its a feeling of bittersweet knowing this one is the finale. Lately I have been wanting something dark so I need to pick up Even If It Hurts by Sam Mariano. I have Pure Surrender up next, because yeah I really need to get this series finished (hint I REALLY NEED her dragon books haha), then I have Red Lily, I have been meaning to get back to this series.

My Weekly TBR
These are books that I have a rough TBR for, I normally don’t like a super strict TBR as I tend to be a mood reader, so I might get to these books but depending on my mood, I might not get to all of them, but I will endeavor to try with these. I have some great books lined up this week!

I guess work from home comes in handy when there weather like that. I hate traveling in the snow and am so happy we have (so far) been spared the winter storms.
I must confess that every time I see Aja James ‘s cover my jaw hit the floor LOL Also I have seen the snow storm in the US, it’s so huge!
It’s crazy to think you’re dealing with all that snow when it’s 85 here right now. Nine books in one week boggles my mind. lol Rereading favorite books is such a comforting experience.
I’m so jealous of everyone getting snow! It was in the 70’s here last week. I miss snow. Have a great week!
I really enjoyed reading the latest Eden. It was very good. I also want to read the new one by Jennifer Snow.
Oh wow, that is a lot of snow. Surprisingly, we haven’t had a lot of snow this year. It looks like you read a lot of great books this week. I also grabbed Bookshop Cinderella and am looking forward to it. Have a great week!
We’ve had a lot of snow these past few days and it just keeps coming down! It’s nice being inside by the fire.
Sounds like you had a nice reading week with 9 books. I think I read that Olivia Cunning a while back. Enjoy your reads and stay warm, Renee!
It sounds like you had a nice week and you got snow. I keep hoping for snow but we still haven’t had any recently. Hope you have a great week and happy reading!
We’ve got a little bit of snow here in the past week, but nothing like everyone else seems to be getting. I guess I won’t complain about it anymore! At least you have some great books to keep you company.
