This year has started off so good with reads!! I've started SO many good series and finished a few. It's nice to tie up some loose ends and start some new beginnings. Even though I've super late to the game, I'm super excited to have started The Covenant series by Jennifer Armentrout. Y'all know our love for JLA runs deep, and I just LOVE this series so far. I've only read the first book, but I'm planning on ordering the rest next month. Two other exciting opportunities I got this month was when two up and coming authors approached us to read their books: Broken Skies by Theresa Kay and Bound by Duty by Stormy Smith. I loved both of the books so much that they are instantly on my 2015 favorites list. YES, REALLY. I'm so excited for the sequels of both to come out. I loved reading books that are being made into and have been opted for movies. Paper Towns (seriously, can John Green write anything bad??), Miss Peregrine's, and Red Rising were all so good. I also got an amazing opportunity to receive an ARC of Charmed by Michelle Krys which doesn't come out until May. Thank you Brittany from Brittany's Book Rambles for the ARC! Y'all got check out her blog, it is one of my favorites! Angela and I also did another book swap, so I have loads of new books to read next month.

My absolute favorite for this month, though, was Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover. This book was absolutely amazing. Definitely one of my all time favorites. We have the opportunity to go to a book signing for CoHo next month in Savannah and I AM SO EXCITED THAT I CAN BARELY BREATHE. She is becoming one of my favorite authors.

  1. Great reading month, Leah! Nice way to kick off the year. :) I'm so glad to hear that Half Blood was so good. I am sooo excited to start that series! I know we share a love for JLA. <3

    I thought Love, Rosie was cute when I read it a couple years ago. I only recently found out there's a movie. Miss Peregrine's... meh. It was okay but I totally missed what all the fuss was about. Paper Towns... okay. Not my favorite John Green. Inexcusable... ugh.

    I'm totally excited to read Never Never! And speaking of CoHo, I about squealed out loud when I saw you read Maybe Someday. OMG, Leah, I can't even tell you how much I love that book and those characters and that story and even the music. Love, love, love. In fact, it was my top read of 2014... until I read Ugly Love. So my top 2 picks were both from Colleen. No surprise there! I just loved Ridge and Sydney so much and my heart broke at their situation. What got me, what Colleen did to give all the feels, was that there were no bad guys, and there were no good decisions. No matter what, people got hurt. Oh, it killed me. Tears, tears, tears. I was just listening to the song Maybe Someday over the weekend. :)

    My faves of the month were Hothouse Flower by Krista & Becca Ritchie (love their Addicted series!) and Leo by Mia Sheridan. It was my first by her but definitely won't be the last!

  2. I'm going to look up the ones you said were your favorites. I haven't seen either, so I'm going to check them out!

    I wish you could come to the Colleen Hoover signing in a few weeks! I know you share our love for her. Maybe Someday is one of my all time favorite books now. I love it so so much.
