Thank you to Fierce Reads and NetGalley for the e-ARC! Lately, I’ve been enjoying books written in verse, so I’m really looking forward to reading this story in this format. I’ve heard incredible things about the author’s writing as well, so I highly anticipate reading this one!
The Monarchs by Kass Morgan and Danielle Paige
The Monarchs is the conclusion following The Ravens, following the sorrority witches at Kappa Rho Nu when rivals threaten their place on campus and their past comes back to haunt them.
This is another ARC from NetGalley that’s been in the queue for a bit! It doesn’t release until January but I think I will read it soon regardless. I enjoyed The Ravens and am curious to see what new elements arise (as well as old conflicts) in the second book.
Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim
Six Crimson Cranes follows Shiori, the only pricess of Kiata, who secretly wields magic. But after her magic is revealed at her betrothal ceremony, Shiori is banished by her stepmother, and her brothers turned into cranes. And if Shiori speaks of this to anyone, her brothers will die. Shiori sets out on a quest alone to find her brothers, destrou the curse, and save the kingdom.
I’ve been hearing such incredible things about this book (as well as Spin the Dawn) and look forward to finally reading Elizabeth Lim’s work! Lately, I’ve been enjoying retellings and incorporations of fairytales and folklore into books, so I can’t wait to see how it’s executed in this book.
Dial A For Aunties by Jesse Q. Sutanto
Dial A For Aunties follows Meddelin Chan, who calls for the help of her aunts after accidentially killing her blind date. But disposing of the body becomes difficult when it’s inadvertenly shipped in a cake cooler to a luxury wedding that her family is working at, the biggest wedding for their business yet. And the chaos continues when Meddy’s college love makes a surprise appearance.
A Gathering of Shadows by V.E. Schwab
A Gathering of Shadows takes place four months after A Darker Shade of Magic. Red London is preparing for the Element Games when a pirate ship draws near the coast, bringing old friends back into port. And while Red London prepares for the competition, another London is returning to life. And for one London to come back, another London must come down.
It’s time to continue with the Shades of Magic trilogy! I really enjoyed the first book and have high hopes for the rest of the series.

March 2021 TBR
Believe it or not, I did actually plan for my March TBR to be small this time! I want to have a short TBR every now and then so I can both focus on my physical TBR and pick books up on a whim. However, that did not happen. Maybe one day I will keep to a short TBR, but today is not that day.
There are just too many new releases I’m excited for this month! Plus, there are a few books on my physical TBR that I’d like to get to. And if March is anything like February, then I have a feeling I’ll be reading a lot this month, too.
So without further ado, here are all the books I plan on reading this March!
February 2021 Wrapup
With February over, it’s time to share my reading wrapup. To be honest, with the shorter month I wasn’t sure I would be able to read as much as I did. However, I still managed to read thirteen books! I did take part in both the #24in48 readathon and spent one weekend reading A Court of Silver Flames, so that’s probably what did it.
But quantity aside, I feel like the books I read this month were really good reads as well! So overall it’s been a pretty good month – I hope yours was the same, and you found lots of great new books as well.
2021 Reading Goals
February might be more than halfway over, but…better late than never, right?
I actually intended to post this in early January, but obviously, that never happened! As a result, this has been sitting in my drafts for quite some time now. I set these goals in December of last year but I really wanted to share them, and I also want to do some check-in blog posts throughout the year.
Speaking of goal check-ins, before I share what my reading goals are for 2021, I want to share how I did with my 2020 reading goals.
I’m reading Six Crimson Cranes right now, and so far, it’s wonderful! All of Elizabeth Lim’s books are great, so you really can’t go wrong. I highly recommend the Spin the Dawn duology!
Great TBR! I hope you will continue to enjoy the Shades Of Magic books and I love the sound of Dial A For Aunties.
Thank you! Dial A for Aunties has been really fun. I’m going to finish it today!
I absolutely 5-star adored Six Crimson Cranes. I hope you do too! ❤️
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
