My January & February Reading Recap

Starting 2025 off strong with 13 books in two months—some hits, some misses, and one book that had me questioning everything (looking at you, Wicked). Here’s the rundown:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Onyx Storm – Absolutely devoured this one. No notes. Perfection.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wicked (huge WTF, and much darker than I expected but it kept me hooked), Throne of Glass (Books 1-4), The Ministry of Time, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue – Fantasy girlies, I see you. TOG has me in a chokehold.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Windsor Knot, The Queen’s Men, The Lost Bookshop, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Funny Story – Enjoyable and cute, but they didn’t rock my world.
