February is a short month and I packed it full of books! I had a couple of DNFs, but I’m not going to dwell on those. Pfft. Who needs that? Instead, let’s celebrate the fact that I scarfed down some highly anticipated books — like Lisa Kleypas’ hilarious Wallflowers sequel and the electric Beyond spin-off by Kit Rocha. Also? Gothics are coming back. I think the next few years will see a huge uptick.

Madly by Ruthie Knox (contemporary romance)
Ashwin by Kit Rocha (out 3/7, dystopian erotic romance)
The Star-Touched Queen by Roshani Chokshi (young adult fantasy)
Devil in Spring by Lisa Kleypas (historical romance)
American Queen by Sierra Simone (erotic romance)
Lost Among the Living by Simone St. James (gothic mystery)
