Hi! March was CHAOS and I did only read 6 books. Here they are…
This Is A Love Story by Jessica Soffer – This was the February “Read with Jenna” pick and I dragged through it… I’m 0-2 on the 2025 picks I’ve read, so I’m hoping that the March pick turns this train around for me! This felt like the Notebook but you didn’t like either character. Jane is dying and Abe is recounting all their time together in her final days. I just didn’t like either of them but I did appreciate the storytelling and the writing.
Wild Side by Elsie Silver – This girl could write a research paper and I would read it. This was maybe my least favorite of hers, just due to a small ick on my part, but I still flew through it. We follow Rhys and Tabitha, who are fighting over custody of a young kid after his mom passes. This was a bit more emotional than her usual stories which I actually really liked. The ick I mentioned would be a spoiler so I will just leave that there.
The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah – My third Kristin Hannah! The Four Winds covers the Dust Bowl, a part of U.S. history that is not mentioned often in textbooks. I learned SO MUCH in this book and could not put it down. Hannah’s books are so well researched and educational without ever being boring. This was maybe my least favorite of the three I’ve read but still such a wonderful story – sad ending warning!
I Will Teach You To Be Rich by Ramit Sethi – I will be so honest – I quit this halfway through but I’m still going to count it. This book felt like I was being yelled at for money mistakes I hadn’t even made. I am really trying to learn as much as I can about finances simply to ease anxiety in that aspect. This increased my anxiety and I learned nothing. I would so recommend Rich Dad, Poor Dad over this book.
From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout – I’ve officially started this universe! The Blood and Ash series is currently being officially published and my friend Lauren said that this was a must-read for me. I really liked this book! This felt like an adult version of Throne of Glass for me – more questions than answers, such an interesting world, and a badass female main character. Definitely recommend!
A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire by Jennifer L. Armentrout – I immediately jumped into the next one! Obviously no spoilers, but I just felt like the adventure just kept getting better. This one was pretty spicy and had an overwhelming amount of new characters, but I just flew through it.
That’s all for March! Post-grad life is kicking my booty and I fear I just kept falling asleep everytime I picked up a book regardless of how good it was. TBR keeps growing though! See you soon!
