February: What I read

So, this post is going to be about the books that I read in February. I have never posted anything like this before so I hope people enjoy it!
Before I start, I would like to say that I have not read that much this month, for the past week I have been in France to study world war 1, which was a great experience! I also have had quite a bit of course work and things to do... Basically I have been busy! But I will tell you what I have been reading in the order I read it in.


Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
This was the first book I read in February and I really loved it! I wrote a blog post recommending books at the beginning of the month and Fangirl was on that list! If you want to know a bit about it then go and check out that post to see!
This book is extremely well written and cute, if you are looking for a book to warm your heart, this is definitely it! I found this book so uplifting and sweet, I would recommend it 100%. Fangirl did not take me long to read and I read it on my Kindle, I hope to pick up Eleanor & Park very soon, I haven't read it straight away because I hear it is very sad... But I will definitely get to it as soon as possible!
Rating- 5 stars

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K.Rowling (re-read)
This is obviously a re-read! I really wanted to jump back into the world of Harry Potter for a re-read at the beginning of February, so I did ofcourse. If you don't know what Harry Potter is or what it is about then...
Do you not live on Earth?
I don't think I need to tell you what it is about. If you haven't read it yet, then what are you doing?! GO, GO, GO! 
I always love re-reading the series, it just brings back so many memories and you notice things you may not remember from the last time you read it... I just love Harry Potter, really.
Rating- 5 stars (obviously)


 In Bloom by Matthew Crow
I won this book in a giveaway on Goodreads, which was exciting. I have put up a review for this so you can check that out! The book is about a boy with Leukaemia and I found it very real, touching.
If you have read my review for In Bloom, you will see that I don't think I connected with the book that well, but I do still recommend it highly. I finished this just over a week ago and found it to be a very enjoyable read!
 I would like to see more people pick up this book as I had never heard of it before spotting it on Goodreads.
Rating- 4 stars


Cinder by Marissa Meyer
OH MY.
Why haven't I read this book before now? I finished this two days ago whilst in France and absolutely loved it! The plot, characters and world building was fantastic and I can't wait to get onto the second book in the series, Scarlet.
If you have not yet read this book, then you definitely should because I recommend it to you. Cinder is a Cinderella retelling, but Cinder is a mechanic... And a cyborg. The whole idea of the book is extremely interesting and I have seen it recommended on so many different occasions. 
I was sat on the coach in France and was giggling and 'ahhh-ing' quite alot, my friend sat next to me was a bit confused but oh well. Whilst reading the book I felt like I was in the world, which is a quality in books I find awesome.
Rating- 5 stars

So, those are all the books I read in February and I know it really isn't much. But one thing is, I have started or am half way through quite alot of books at the moment and didn't finish them before the end of February, so they will be on my March wrap up!

One more thing, I have just found out that I won a book in a Goodreads giveaway which is Panic by Lauren Oliver! I am so pumped to read this book anyway and it will be coming in the post soon so yay! *Celebrates*
Thankyou for reading always,
-Darcy
