Today I want to share some of the books I would like to get to in March.
I say “like to” because whenever I make TBR or post want to reads, I never end up sticking to them. Maybe this will be the time that I do!
Hearstopper Volume 3 and 4
I would like to finish my Heartstopper reread this month. I’m really excited to continue my reread and get back with this squad!
Chain of Iron
I read Chain of Gold in February and absolutely loved it, so I can’t wait to continue on. I definitley want to read a few shorter books first because this one is a beast and I need to prepare myself!
Five Survive
I think this sounds like it’ll be a good read. I really enjoyed her Good Girls Guide to Murder series, so I’m looking foward to another story by Holly Jackson!
I also plan to throw in some ebooks as well, although I’m not quick sure what book I will be in the mood for. Most of my kindle books are romance, so something from that genre!
I finally got around to reading this book. This is the first book in The Last Hours trilogy. I was completely surprised by how into this book I was. Even when I wasn’t reading it, I was still thinking about it, and couldn’t wait to pick it back up. I absolutely loved this book and am so excited to continue on.
The Lost Book of the White by Cassandra Clare and Wesley Chu
Next I read the second book in The Eldest Curses series. These books follow Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood. This particular book also had the other characters from the Mortal Instruments along for the ride as well. I enjoyed this one more than the first book. It was nice to be back with these characters, and I enjoyed the plot. I’m excited to see where this ends!
Heartstopper Volume 1 and Volume 2 by Alice Oseman
I did ANOTHER reread of Heartstopper. At this point it just seems like it might became an annual thing. I tend to find myself wanting to read this series at the beginning of the year. This is my third reread of this book and I loved it just as much as the previous times! This series is just sooo good!
As with the first two volumes, you get all the aboslute adorable-ness and loveability that is Nick and Charlie, and of course the rest of the squad that we have fallen in love with! But we also delve into some deep, serious topics as well. Topics such as self- harm, mental illness, and eating disorders. It’s a lot, but it is dealt with in such a mature way.
In Volume 3 we find ourselves in Paris with the squad! Nick and Charlie are sharing a room with Issac and Tao. Nick is not completely out yet, so they have to still be careful about their relationship. We see relationships develop, and friendships grow.
Volume 4 really focused on Charlie’s mental health and eating disorder. Nick is nothing but supportive and thoughtful to Charlie throughout this entire book. He encourages Charlie to speak to his parents, and even goes with him when he does. And I loved every minute reading this! WE LOVE SUPPORTIVE PEOPLE IN OUR LIVES!!!
As much as I adore Nick and Charlie, I truley believe Nick’s mother had the best moment in this book! Sarah is an absolute angel, a gift, and someone that everyone needs in their lives. AND in my opinion, she had the best speech in the entire book.
I love how Alice Oseman addresses that as much as Nick and Charlie care and love each other, they can’t always depend on one another for everything. They need other support systems around them, like friends and family because it is just as important! And with that I will end with the AMAZING, BEAUTFUL, WONDERDFUL speech by Sarah Nelson!
“Maybe you can’t help him, darling. I know you love him so, so much. I’m sure he loves you too. And I know you feel like it’s your job to “save him”. I know it feels like you are both each other’s whole world, but that dependency isn’t healthy for either of you. Charlie needs help from someone who isn’t his sixteen-year-old boyfriend. He needs help from a doctor or a therapist, someone who knows about eating disorder and how to treat them. Love can’t cure a mental illness. There are lots of ways to help him, you can just be there. To listen. To talk. To cheer him up if he’s having a bad day. And on the bad days you can ask what you could do to make things easier. Stand by his side, even when things are hard. But also knowing that sometimes people need more support than just one person can give. That’s love darling.” Sarah Nelson (Nick’s mum)

A few books that I really want to get to this month!
There’s Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie Perkins
I’ve had this on my TBR for quite some time now and I’m in the mood to read this type of story! So I’m hoping to get to it this month!
The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green
This is not a genre that I read a lot from. But I do enjoy John Green works. And I’ve heard good things about this one! I’m hoping to get the audiobook from my library!
Heartstopper Volume 1 by Alice Oseman (reread)
This is a reread for me. I read the first two volumes earlier this year and absolutely loved them. My library FINALLY got volume three in, so I plan to reread the first two volumes again!
Charlie, a highly-strung, openly gay over-thinker, and Nick, a cheerful, soft-hearted rugby player, meet at a British all-boys grammar school. Friendship blooms quickly, but could there be something more…?
Oh my God this book! What can I say? I can honestly say I had a smile on my face the entire time I was reading this book. It’s the most heartwarming, sweetest book.
Hearstopper deals with friendship, romance, acceptance, coming out, and more. This story follows the relationship between Nick and Charlie.(I’ve heard these characters are mentioned in other books by Alice Oseman, but this was my first read of hers.) We follow the meeting, friendship, and growing feelings between the two of them.
You will end up flying through this story. Not just because it is a comic/graphic novel, but because you will be so invested in this story and these characters.
Also how can I not mention NELLIE! Oh my God, NELLIE!(Nicks dog) She’s the absolute best! We love her!
I also want to add that Alice Osemans book deal with serious issues, and I found a list of the trigger warnings on her website. So I would like to list them here for any of you who are intesrested in checking this story out. These are taken from her website! https://www.aliceoseman.com/content-warnings
