Happy end of February!
February flew by for me. It feels like yesterday that I was celebrating Christmas with my family. Now, we’re heading into spring and I cannot wait! Nothing super exciting happened to me during the month of February. I applied for a job I really want, so fingers crossed! 🙂
During the month of February I read 10 books! The only goal I had for the month was to read more books by people of colour for Black History Month. The books I chose were incredible, so I can’t wait to read more by Octavia E. Butler and Candice Carty-Williams.
As usual, I feature my top two books of the month from differing genres.
The Blood Mirror brings character twists you won’t see coming while setting up an incredible finale that will be The Burning White.

Kennedy is easily one of the best writers of new adult sports romance.
