2016 February Wrap Up

Well another month has flown by and I've read a total of 8 books.  And sadly only one was a actual physical book.  Kind of sad I know.  But it is so much easier to read e-books since I have the kindle app on my phone.  I'll try harder to read more of my physical books in the coming months.

1. The Blood & the Roses by Callie Hart is a complete series that I downloaded a few months ago.  This series had well over 800 pages and had so many twists and turns.  I thought that the plot was well thought out, and I felt for the characters no matter how messed up they were.  I believe that the series has 6 or 7 books to it, but it was only around $0.99 to download the whole series.  Side note: there are spin offs that I really want to purchase and read, because I liked the authors writing and how her plots seemed to move so well.  I started to read this book at the tail end of January and finished it up in February.
2. The Island by Jen Minkman is a dystopian young adult novella that is a little more than 100 pages long and the first in the series.  It was a nice quick read, and I plan on downloading the other two in the series to see what happens with the main character.
3. Gypsy Brothers: the complete series by Lili St. Germain was another complete series that I downloaded.  While the book by Callie Hart was descriptive, this one was a lot more focused on sex and violence.  You feel for the characters, but you're also cringing as you find out was is happening to them.  This is another book that has sequels and spin offs.
4. Toughened by Ophelia Sikes is the second story in the Vegas Nights series.  I downloaded this right after I finished Hardened and again it was short, sweet and left off with a freaking cliff hanger.
5. At Any Price by Brenna Aubrey is the first book in the Gaming the System series and is a full length novel (around 350 pages).  I really enjoyed it.  I loved the characters, while there wasn't a whole lot of action in the way the a couple of the books had, there was a lot of back story and understanding.  This book did a good job of setting up for the next book since this one had a lot of unanswered questions that need to be worked out.
6. Love, Lucy by Lucille Ball is a autobiography/memoir written by the legend herself.  This is the third biography that I have ever read in my life (the first two were autobiographies by Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Tony Stewart that  I read probably 10 years ago).  But I have to say, I loved this book.  And made me love and admire Lucille Ball even more.  When I got to the end, it left such a nice warm fuzzy feeling in me and made me realize that this should be required reading for young girls in high school, so that they know how to act like a classy woman.
7. At Any Turn by Brenna Aubrey is the second book in the Gaming the System series.  This starts off where At Any Price finished and it is loaded with drama and romance.  I really enjoyed the series and once I finished I immediately downloaded the next book in the series.
8. At Any Moment by Brenna Aubrey is the third (and essentially the last book that follows the two main characters) in the series.  When it comes to romance stories, I'm a sucker for happy endings, and for the two main characters they got one.  Since both of the characters ended up on a roller coaster of drama, it was nice that they finally had what deserved.  There is 2 other stories in the series, that follow other characters that were a part of the first three stories in the series.  And yes I plan on downloading those as well.

Well that is my February wrap up, I think I've read more full length novels instead of novellas this month, but unfortunately only one was a physical book.  I plan on catching up on those in the next couple of months.
