Monthly Wrap-Up: February 2018

Ah, after long time I’m not behind schedule. I finished all books that I planned to read in Feb. So, I’m feeling pretty good right now and I’m hoping March also turns out great. No life updates. It’s just usual and same, nothing exciting.

Books I read and reviewed ∼

Urban Fantasy—

Inspired by Susan Schaefer Bernardo

Stars: 4/5

I finished reading this in January but reviewed in Feb so I’m not counting it in this month’s read. This was middle grade book on the Greek Muses with mythical stories and creativity. few things were confusing initially but otherwise it was awesome.

Paranormal Romance —

River (A Stranger in the Woods #2) by India R. Adams

Stars: 5/5

Second in series, gripping, fast paced, magical elfish romance with loads of twist and turns. If you haven’t read any books by this author before, this series is best to start with.

Mystery / Adventure—

Kitty Hawk and the Tragedy of the RMS Titanic (Kitty Hawk Flying Detective Agency #4) by Iain Reading

Stars: 4.5/5

Thrilling adventure of Kitty in Ireland and London with exciting treasure hunt mystery to solve.

Historical Fiction—

Prithviraj Chauhan: The Emperor of Hearts by Anuja Chandramouli

Stars: 4.75/5

Fabulous history of Prithviraj Chauhan, a famous warrior and king of the Indian history with brilliant detailed point of view of character.

Non-Fiction / Self-Help—

Stepping Out of Time by Renée Paule

Stars: 5/5

This Non-Fiction was so motivational and inspirational that it will make every single person to think over their life and help to change way of thinking. It was more of philosophy than self-help that encourages to help yourself by changing perspective and observing yourself.

Romance—

Stars: 4.5/5

Riveting, fast paced, thought-provoking, life journey and love story of Amolika and Raehan, covering many issues and many messages that any age group would love to read.

Stars: 5/5

Science-Fiction—

A Way to the Infinity World (The Left Roof #1) by Narendra Singh Nathawat, Vishvendra Singh Nathawat
