The only new book coming out this month that I really want to read is: I also recently download the entire famous 5 series (a series I loved to read when I was younger) so I plan to read a least 2 of those this month: Other books on my TBR are: And of course the books I didn't finish in February: What's on your TBR pile?

Wires & Nerve - Marissa Meyer Review

Image
This is the first volume in the Wires and Nerve series which follows Iko in her quest to to hunt down the Wolf-hybrid soldiers which are terrorising Earth. This volume follows after the events of the Lunar Chronicles but before the 'Something Old, Something New' novella in Stars Above. I felt this graphic novel was really beautifully done but at the same time I wish it had been longer. I felt just as the story was starting the novel ended. You do not need to have read the Lunar Chronicles series to read this as most of the book is a quick catch-up of the events from the series past but in my opinion you should totally read it. It's amazing and you won't regret it. I really enjoyed getting to read more of Cress and Thorne as they do feature quite a bit in this novel and I hope the next volumes will have more of the other characters as well. Iko was one of my favourite characters in the original series as she was hilarious and I am really glad that

By Your Side - Kasie West Review

I loved this book! You have no idea how much! I read this book the day that I got it, the entire thing - that's how much I loved it. The storyline, the writing, the charcters, honestly everything about this book, I loved. The main character (Autumn) accidently gets locked in the library after hours. That right there is a dream come true for me. However, she soon discover that she isn't alone and that a boy (Dax) that she kind of knows from school is locked in with her. The both learn that people aren't as they seem and a friendship starts to grow between them. Autumn suffers with anxiety and learns throughout the book that you should take care of yourself first and not worry about what others think of you. Take mental health days when you need them. I think that is an important lesson to be learnt by everyone. I enjoyed the characters immensely, especially the friendships formed and how extremely real they seemed. This was a quick read for me as it was engaging
