February Wrap Up & March TBR (2021)

Hey everyone! It’s that time of the month where I’m sharing with you all the things I’ve been up to in February and the books I plan to read in March.

1. SHEETS by Brenna Thummler // 🌟🌟🌟🌟
2. THE UNHONEYMOONERS by Christina Lauren // 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
3. DELICATES by Brenna Thummler {eARC} // 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
4. HALL OF SMOKE by H.M Long {eARC} // 🌟🌟🌟

My favorite book of February was THE UNHONEYMOONERS! I was suddenly in the mood for a fun romance and despite never read adult romance before, this book delivered and I immediately got sucked into the story. It has great chemistry, a big warm family, and fun holiday outing. It’s just the perfect pick me up!

1. DOWN COMES THE NIGHT by Allison Saft{eARC}

Maybe I should just remove this part for the whole year? 😅 With how unpredictable the workload is, I don’t want to put too much pressure on myself and actually relies more on my mood rather than a planned TBR… I hope I can start my Clockwork Angel reread this month though!

I hope you guys were having a fantastic February because personally, it’s been a great month!

First, of course, the unexpected GOT7 comeback. It came as such a pleasant surprise as I thought it’s going to be forever before we see the 7 of them together again, with them being busy with their respective activities and the upcoming enlistment. But they already prepared something for us :’) I’d be lying if I said I didn’t cry, especially seeing the lyrics and seeing the end of the video. It was beautiful and really showed the strong relationship between GOT7 themselves and with ahgases 🥺

Also, them releasing the song under Warner and have all Warner accounts globally promoting the release? What a flex.

Speaking of agencies, Yugyeom is finally confirmed to join AOMG! I love the announcement and the fact that it shows Yugyeom’s dance skills 🥺 And the memes have been amazing 😂 Like the fact that Yugyeom is trading one Jaebeom with another, or the fact it’s Jay Park 😂 I’m high-key expecting AOMG to sign the whole GOT7, it will be the best twist lmao. But regardless, I think all the agencies the boys signed to are really supportive- they posted about Encore and have been giving us so many contents! Like… have you seen Youngjae’s content Sublime has been blessing us with??? It makes me really happy to see them flourish 🥺💚🌺

There’s also SHINEE’s comeback, WayV comeback, and suspicious amount of SuperM content 👀 I think Baekhyun is going to enlists early this year, so I’m predicting a comeback really soon! I’m so excited for SHINEE’s comeback as well as the upcoming ones, especially WayV since their songs are always such a hit for me 👏

As a whole, February was a better month for me. I felt more relaxed– maybe because I already passed all the deadlines, maybe because I bike every weekend, maybe I’m getting better at this adulting and work-life balance thing. I had more time to read and watch movies, and I reconnected with a couple friends. In fact, a group of us is creating a biweekly chat, kind of ~career support group~ since we are all starting out with jobs and trying to figure out what we want to do and how to navigate this work life. I hope I don’t jinx it, but it was a great month and I hope it will last for the rest of the year ✨
