Challenge 1: Most Anticipated – Down Comes the Night by Alison Saft

I took this off my 2021 Most Anticipated list! It releases March 2nd and I absolutely cannot wait to get into this one! It’s a snowy, gothic YA fantasy romance set at secluded (and possibly haunted) mansion.

Challenge 2: Recommended – Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers

Not only was this a Book of the Month pick for February (so I’m counting this a recommendation from them), but I’ve been seeing tons of reviewers give this 5 stars! Including Mina from Mina Reads.

Challenge 3: Pull Again (That means I have 7 prompts for March)

Challenge 3 (again): Historical – A Lady’s Formula for Love by Elizabeth Everett

I first pulled the “Pull Again” prompt which means I needed to pull an extra promo this month (there’s only 1 of these in the jar so I’m never at risk of having more than 7 pulls).

Then I pulled historical and I knew right away I wanted to read this! This was February release that I was crazy excited for but never managed to pick up. It follows a female scientist in Victorian London who falls in love with the man hired to watch over her.

Challenge 4: Set in the Present – Lost in the Never Woods by Aiden Thomas

Another book off my Most Anticipated list! This March release is one I’m desperate to start asap. It’s a Peter Pan retelling from the author of Cemetery Boys (which was one of my favorite books of 2020). It also has a magical woods which is another huge buzzword for me!

Challenge 5: Paperback – Blood of Zeus by Meredith Wild & Angel Payne

Spoiler alert for a future post – but this is also going to be my first read for Becca’s 48 hours Bookoplathon! It fits both prompts so it worked out perfect!

This is a paranormal/fantasy romance following the decedents of the gods. That’s literally all I know.

Challenge 6: Young Adult – Namesake (Fable #2) by Adrienne Young

I’m so excited to pick up this sequel/conclusion to the Fable duology! This is a nautical/pirate-esque fantasy with an amazing friendship/found family. I can’t wait to be back in this world and see what happens!

Challenge 7: Favorite Author – An Unexpected Peril (Veronica Speedwell #6) by Deanna Raybourn

This is one of my favorite series of all time and I can’t wait to be back with these characters. This Victorian mystery has the slowest slow burn romance ever and it’s finally (maybe) coming to fruition. And I NEED it. This releases right away on March 2nd so I need to get it read and reviewed asap.

Sweet and Bitter Magic by Adrienne Tooley

Release Date: March 9th

My review for this will be coming super soon because I’m reading this book this week! It’s a debut YA fantasy with witches and a sapphic love story.

That Way Madness Lies: 15 of Shakespeare’s Most Notable Works Reimagined by Dahlia Adler

Release Date: March 16th

A YA anthology all about Shakespeare retellings!

ToG-Along – Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass #2) by Sarah J. Maas

It’s the 3rd month of ToG-along and that means we’re onto Crown of Midnight! This was my least favorite in my initial read of this series so I’m curious to see how I feel about it this time around.

Faes And Gays Book Club – A Dark and Hollow Star by Ashley Suttleworth

This is a late February ARC but I’ll definitely be picking it up this month for the Fae’s and Gay’s book club. It’s a YA queer fantasy about Fae. That’s literally all I know. I have started this but I’m only like 6% in.

Bridge of Souls by Victoria Schwab

Release Date: March 2nd

I love this creepy middle grade series and I can’t wait to get my hands on this 3rd book! I have an Owlcrate edition coming but I always read these via audio. So I’ll be doing that right away this month.
