My Reading Progress
Get the Book: 🇨🇦
The past week was a mess of stress – I had a midterm due, which unfortunately necessitated me pushing off my review of The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett and my February Book Haul. I also didn’t post anything on my Instagram, which helped free up a lot of time. The step back from my Blog and Bookstagram made me miss posting – I have some great ideas that I’m excited to get started on! Also, I discovered a new contemporary reverse harem romance that’s also a retelling of Rapunzel: Extra Credit by Autumn Reed. It was adorable, although I found the ending a bit rushed.
Up Next Shelf Progress
A reminder: my Up Next Shelf is comprised of all the unread books I want to read and have purchased.
The total number of books on my Up Next Shelf has decreased from 103 to 102 books. The Wrath and the Dawn by Renée Ahdieh, which I DNF’d, was on my Up Next Shelf.
Net Progress = Books Added – Books Read
My Net Progress increased to 13 books which means I added more books than I read last week. I added 3 books to my Up Next Shelf this past week!

The Upcoming Week
To Be Read
I’m not just behind in my posting but also my TBR list! I’m currently reading:
- Kingdom of Souls by Rena Barron
- The Body Is Not An Apology: The Power of Radical Self-Love by Sonya Renee Taylor
- Memory Serves by Lee Maracle
I recently started reading multiple books at once and really enjoy juggling a nonfiction and fiction novel at the same time. I’ve just started Kingdom of Souls and am really intrigued by its premise. The world-building is also excellent, so far.
To Look Forward To This Week

March is finally here! I am SO excited! I’ve been counting the days until When He’s An Alpha by Suzanne Wright is released. I honestly felt so much joy knowing I had this book to look forward to in March. (Also, I low-key cannot believe it’s already March – how is 2021 moving so fast?). The first week of March also has another anticipated release: Senseless by Crystal Ash. The cliffhanger from the last book was jaw-dropping – I cannot wait to find out what happens next in the Steel Demons MC series.
I have a lot to catch up on this week! My February Wrap Up will be posted on Thursday. I think I’m going to postpone my review of The Vanishing Half until the second or third week of March so that I can post my February Book Haul. I have so many great books to haul, and I love that I’ve found so many awesome Kindle Deals. I’m also thinking of changing how I keep track of my Up Next progress; I’m no longer digging the graphs.
