So, at the beginning of February I said that I was back from my break.

As it turns out, I lied.

Sorry about that.

But I am actually back this time, I promise.

So, what happened in February?

Books were bought:

Lambington the Second was born

Lambington

His birth happened right outside my bedroom window…at 6am…

We called him ‘the second’ because it sounded better, not because there is a Lambington the First.

I had a birthday

Birthday

As always, I got a valentines day cake from woolies…it had the word ‘Love’ written on it, so as I cut the cake I was yelling “DESTROY THE LOVE”.

It was a great day.

So, what’s going to happen in March

As I said earlier, I had fully intended on starting back blogging regularly at the beginning of February.

Evidently, that didn’t happen.

And uni starts back today, so I’m going to be super-super-busy (two third-year maths subjects *shudders*), but that also means PROCRASTINATION!

Which means more blogging.

Hopefully.

I have it. I’ve had it since November. Now I just need to read it.

3. Illusions of Fate, by Kiersten

Anderson, Sally Green, Shannon Messenger, Spellbound, The Girl in the Steel Corset, The Interrogation of Ashala Wolf, Top Ten Tuesday, Ultraviolet, Underrated YA

Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish

This Week’s Topic: Top Ten Underrated books/series in YA

So, basically I interpreted this as ‘books/series that are not as popular as they should be’.

1. All Our Yesterdays, by Cristin Terrill

2. Ultraviolet, by R.J. Anderson

3. Elementals (series), by Brigid Kemmerer

4. Masquerade, by Kylie Fornasier

5. The Interrogation of Ashala Wolf, by Ambelin Kwaymullina

6. Let the Sky Fall, Shannon Messenger

7. Crash, by Lisa McMann

8. Spellbound, by Cara Lynn Shultz

9. Half Bad, by Sally Green

10. The Girl in the Steel Corset, by Kady Cross

Now, this one was hard, because I find it hard to tell what’s popular, and what’s not. So, basically, my rule was to look at the number of ratings on Goodreads. If it had under 20000 ratings, it made the list.
Interesting note: some series had a high number of ratings for the first book, but books 2 and 3 often had significantly lower numbers.
