March might be a little rough for me, reading wise, because I am going to be in California for a week at the end of the month, and I’m not sure how much reading I will be able to get done. Yet, I still came up with a very ambitious list, which I really hope I can get through! Honestly? All of these books look beyond words amazing, so I hope I’m able to devour them all and to hopefully love them all, too! 💖
➽ Opal (The Raven Cycle #4.5) by Maggie Stiefvater:
This comes out March 1st and I’m beyond words excited! I hope this gives me the Pynch fix I need to hold me over until Ronan’s book! Also, give me all the Opal! I absolutely cannot wait for this short story! And by the time you guys are reading this, I’ve probably already devoured it.
➽ Furyborn (Empirium, #1) by Claire Legrand:
ARC via SourceBooks (Release Date: May 22nd, 2018)
Two girls, a thousand years apart, but somehow connected. This is a YA Fantasy that comes out in May, that showcases a bi main character, and completely has my full attention and all my hype! I am so excited! Buddy read with Jessica, Alexis, Destiny, Jules,
Jenn, Lilly, Imogen, Paula, and Rian! ❤
➽ Circe by Madeline Miller:
ARC via Netgalley (Release Date: April 10th, 2018)
This is honestly the only thing I truly want to read right now. I wish I could completely forget about this entire TBR except for this. This is an Odyssey retelling from Circe’s POV. Please, bless me and my favorite witch in existence.
➽ The Heart Forger (The Bone Witch #2) by Rin Chupeco:
ARC via SourceBooks (Release Date: March 20th, 2018)
This will probably be one of the first things I read, because of the early release date! Yet, I am so damn excited! I loved the first book, The Bone Witch, so much! And I just know that this sequel is not going to disappoint! Also, give me all the necromancer books, please. Plus, this is a buddy read with Lilly! ❤
➽ Grey Sister (Book of the Ancestor #2) by Mark Lawrence:
ARC via Penguin (Release Date: April 19th, 2018)
Lord, March is going to be such a blessed month! I am beyond words excited for this. Nona is one of my favorite protagonists of all time, and I can’t wait to see more of her journey in this sequel. I loved Red Sister so much, and it was one of my top ten favorite books of 2017! I just know that Grey Sister is going to make my 2018 list!
➽ Obsidio (The Illuminae Files #3) by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff :
I’m sure this one is on everyone’s TBR this month, but with good reason! The third and final novel in this series is going to be worth all the hype once it comes out on March 13th! You guys probably saw that I read and love Gemina in February, so I couldn’t resist adding this to my TBR! I hope I am able to get to it on release date! *shakes fist at mailman*
➽ High Voltage (Fever #10) by Karen Marie Moning :
You all know I’m trash for this series, and I can’t stop. I honestly can’t wait to read this next installment in my Ireland fae guilty pleasure, when it releases on March 6th! But I did order a signed copy from B&N, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it doesn’t show up for a few days! *shakes fist at mailman again, even though it is not their fault whatsoever*
➽ The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid :
I know, I can’t believe my gay self hasn’t read this one either? But I will be buddy reading this with May & Alexis this month! ❤ And I cannot wait!
➽ The Trials of Morrigan Crow (Nevermoor, #1) by Jessica Townsend:
This is going to be a readalong for the BooktubeSFF Awards and a buddy read with Sue & Lourdes! ❤ People are calling this the next Harry Potter, so hopefully this new middle grade novel lives up to the hype! And… hopefully I have a new book world to obsess over!
➽ The Barrow Will Send What it May (Danielle Cain #2) by Margaret Killjoy:
ARC via Tor (Release Date: April 3rd, 2018)
Tor was so kind and sent me both book one and two in this series, so I can’t wait to read and fall in love with both of these this month! Plus, these are supposed to be super queer novels that have some amazing representation inside of them! And… summoning demons is always my aesthetic, let’s be real! Plus, this is going to be a buddy read with Destiny! ❤
Whew, okay, I think that is everything! Again, I really hope to get to all this! And I honestly think I will. I actually can’t remember the last time I was think excited with a TBR! Seriously, perfection! And I’m saying this knowing that March is going to be a very busy month for me! But I wish you all the happiness and all the good books this March, my loves! 💗

I’m in the minority on this one, but Furyborn was a DNF for me – got about 45% through it, but just couldn’t connect with the characters. So jealous you got The Heart Forger!
