February Wrap Up + March TBR

Hi! It's getting toward the end of February, as in it ends tomorrow, so it is time for the Wrap Up and TBR!

February Wrap Up


Books
February was a pretty slow month for me reading wise. I read three books, but the good thing was, they were all unbelievably amazing!

Dorothy Must Die- Danielle Paige
This was so good. It kept you on the edge of your seat through nearly all the book. Here's my review.

Throne Of Glass- Sarah J Maas
Such an amazing book. It was such a good fantasy read. It did have some dull moments, but meh. Here's the review.

The Rest Of Us Just Live Here- Patrick Ness
I really liked this book. It was the last book I read in February and it was great. I just got More Than This out of the library and i haven't started it but it looks good. Here's my review.

Music
I've been listening to a few good songs in February.

Somebody That I Used To Know- Gotye


Alive- Sia

Runaway (U & I)- Galantis

Life
It was my birthday this month! I turned 11 and then at my birthday party I got hit on the head by a metal swing and nearly got concussion! Best. Birthday. EVER.

I went for a small orientation at the high school. As I start high school next year, the local high school lets all the primary schools around to do a class and have a small tour. I did science and it was so fun.

I have a new cousin! My aunt had a baby, so now I have a new cousin!

March TBR
The Hunger Games- Suzanne Collins
I have actually already read the Hunger games trilogy, but I've decided to reread it as I just bought the first one. 

Special- Georgia Blain
The funny thing about this one was that it hasn't been published yet. It's being published the 1st of April. The thing is, I found this uncorrected copy in the op-shop and saw that it hadn't been published... *nervous laughter*

More Than This- Patrick Ness
I got this out of the library and I'm completely nervous/excited.

On The Jellicoe Road- Melina Marchetta
I heard that this book is really good, so I'm excited to read it!

Birthday Book Haul

Hai! As it was my birthday party yesterday and my birthday last Tuesday, I received some money, books and vouchers. And guess what I brought with that money? Books! I brought 5 books for $20, one of them free and another for my mum, 3 books I got for presents and 4 I got on a voucher. Attention: I am not bragging in anyway. I am merely showing you what books I got for my birthday and I am SO grateful for everything I got. So, let's get started! Sorry for the quality of the photos, I had to take them on a phone.



  • Almost Sincerely- ZoĆ« Norton Lodge: This is one of my all-time favourite books, and I'm so excited to own it. It is the funniest book ever. I originally got it out of the library and read it but now I have it. *strokes book* MY PRECIOUS.
  • Deep Water- Debi Gliori: So, I got this one from my parents. I am intrigued by it and can't wait to read it. I have another of her books and they are quite interesting reads. Plus, there is a character named Titus, I mean, it's bound to be good.
  • Flora & Ulysses- Kate DiCamillo: I have been wanting to read this for a while now, so I thought I'd give it a try, seeing as it was only $5.
  • Red Queen- Victoria Aveyard: This book looks quite interesting and it will definitely be on my March TBR, I'm planning to read it after I've reread the Hunger Games.
  • The Hunger Games- Suzanne Collins: OK, I have to admit I didn't own this book. Don't get me wrong, most of the books I read are library books but the weird thing was, I owned the last two books of the trilogy as I had read the 1st one at school. I am so happy that I own the whole trilogy now!
  • Heat Stroke- Rachel Caine: I got this as a gift from my good friend Kylie. It looks very interesting, so that's also on my March TBR. How many books are on my March TBR list? 500+.
  • The Thickety #1 A Path Begins- J.A White: I love a story about a forest, and this one looks AMAZING! 
     
  • The Wicked Will Rise- Danielle Paige: Guess who got the sequel to Dorothy Must Die? Rose did. I am so excited. I can't even.
  • Dorothy Must Die Stories: And then guess what the other bookstore had this for $2? This book. It is three prequel novellas all rolled into one book. 


  • The Story Of Land And Sea- Katy Simpson Smith: I don't know what to expect. I guess we'll have to wait and sea.
  • The World Is Round- Gertrude Stein: This is the book I talked about with the girl named Rose and her Poodle in my birthday post. Oh and Cait @ Paper Fury is hosting a Mortal Instruments giveaway!
Well, thats all! Have a wonderlandaful day!

Birthday Events

Yay! It's my birthday!  I am officially 11 A.K.A 1+1=2.... Anyways, I just went onto Google and it knew it was my birthday. Kind of creepy if you ask me, but kind of nice. I made cupcakes for my class, with cat faces. It was also our substitute librarian, A.KA my friend's grandma's birthday. I also got to see my little cousin after school. My birthday party is on Saturday, but I'm only inviting 3 people, because my 'party' is just a picnic and a sleepover. I got some AMAZING gifts though. I even got a book about a girl named Rose and her poodle! Coincidence much? I am nearly finished Dorothy Must Die, I reckon it's one of my new favourite books, so that review is coming to you soon. W e are having takeaway Indian, we were going to go to the restaurant but I didn't want to miss one of my favourite shows, MKR (My Kitchen Rules). I a lot of people said Happy Birthday too me. My grandparents gave me some weird assortment of pig ornaments. I have had the best birthday ever and am very grateful for all my presents and day. Have a wonderlandaful day!
