Reader Rayna

Goodbye February, hello March! Can you believe we’ve already gone through another month? I had a pretty good reading month overall, I think, even if I didn’t get to all of the books I had listed in my February hopefuls. Let’s jump into everything I read and talked about for the month!

What I Read

• Every Spiral of Fate by Tahereh Mafi – This fourth installment was filled with soooo much tension, and was action packed, but it also felt like it went on a bit too long, you know? I still enjoyed it, though, and cannot wait for the finale book! Check out the review here!
• A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas – I had started this book 8 years ago when it first came out and just… never finished it… and then started it last year! … and never finished it… UNTIL NOW! I forgot how much I adore these characters and this series, and I’m glad to have finally read this installment. Check out the review here!
• A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Maas – I honestly thought this was a nice bridging novella between ACOWAR and ACOSF. I think it gave a nice glimpse into the life of the Night Court after the war, and what we could expect to see in the next book. Check out the review here!
• A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas – I loved this book so much. I honestly felt like I saw a reflection of a lot of stuff I went through, personally, a few years ago, and it was just nice to see the progression of love and acceptance of self and others that Nesta went through. Check out the review here!
• The Merciless Ones by Namina Forna – I did a mix of physical and audiobook reading for this one and had a good time! It was a fast-paced read with lots of reveals in it. Check out the review here!

The Stats

What I Talked About

• TTT: Typography That Fits the Vibe of the Covers – This Top Ten Tuesday post was honestly more challenging that I expected because I look at the cover as a whole and not just the typography, but these still have lovely fonts! Check out the post here!
• Get to Know My Reading Taste Tag – A fun tag I saw on YouTube that I wanted to take part in! Check out the post here!
• TTT: Books for Armchair Travelers – This Top Ten Tuesday post is for the armchair travelers, aka people who like to travel the world from the comfort of their own couch. Since I read mostly fantasy, this has a lot of fantasy recs inspired by real places! Check out the post here!
• TTT: Quotes From Books I Love – We all have quotes that hit us in the feels, and these just happen to be some of mine. Check out the post here!

Catch Up Reviews

These are reviews for books I read in 2025 that I’m posting about now (as long as I can remember how I felt and thought about them lol):

• Deep End Review – I read this back in 2025, so this was a catch up review! I enjoyed this more than I was expecting, though it did kind of drag on a little too long for me. Check out the review here!

I meant to do more of these this month, but I just kind of ran out of steam to blog for a bit, but I’ll hop back to it in March!

And that’s that for February! Overall, I’m pretty happy with what I did manage to read, though I’m also kind of disappointed that I didn’t at least get to my prompt books I had picked out. It’s alright, though, this is all for fun, and as a mood reader, the likelihood that I’m going to read everything I set out in a TBR is kind of small anyway. I’m excited for what I’m picking up in March, and I hope that I’ll have just as good of a reading month as I did this month!

How was your reading month in February? Did you find any new favorites? Let me know in the comments!
