February TBR


Hello everyone!

As promised I am here with the books I plan to read during the month of February.
This month I have been sent quite a few books from various publishers so I will put all the details about whom I received the book from and when it's being published and when my review of that book will be live on this blog.

The first book I am reading this month is:

Wishbones by Virginia Macgregor




I was kindly sent this copy of Wishbones from Harlequin for an honest review. I have already started reading this book and I'm about 111 pages in, and loving it so far!

It's about a girl called Feather, who comes home on New Years Eve to find her morbidly obese mother in a diabetic coma.
After overhearing the nurses talking in the hospital, about her mothers condition, she realises something has to be done to help her.
I don't want to say anything else as the review of this book will go live on this blog at 9am GMT on the 9th March.
Being overweight myself I am relating to certain aspects of this book and I can't wait to see where the author takes the rest of the story.

The second book I am reading this month is:

Carnivalesque by Neil Jordan




I was kindly sent this copy of Carnivalesque from Bloomsbury for an honest review. I am starting this book this week and cannot wait to delve into it.

Here is a little excerpt to pique your interest like it did mine... 

It had its own little backstreets, its alleyways of hanging bulbs ad ghost trains and Punch and Judy stands...And at the end of one he saw the Hall of Mirrors. There were looping strings of carnival lights leading towards it, and a large sign in mirrored glass reading 'Burleigh's Amazing Hall of Mirrors' and the sign reflected the lights in all sorts of magically distorted ways.

To Andy and his parents, it looks like any other carnival. But of course it isn't. 
My review for this book will be on the blog at 9am GMT on the 23rd February. I have never been to a circus in my life so I'm really excited to visit one in my imagination!                                                                                           
The third book I am reading this month is:

See you in the Cosmos by Jack Cheng



I was kindly sent an E-copy of this book by Penguin Random House. Here is the synopsis..

11-year-old Alex Petroski loves space and rockets, his mom, his brother, and his dog Carl
Sagan - named for his hero, the real-life astronomer. All he wants is to launch his golden
iPod into space the way Carl Sagan (the man, not the dog( launched his Golden Record on
the Voyager spacecraft in 1977. From Colorado to New Mexico, Las Vegas to L.A., Alex 
records a journey on his iPod to show other lifeforms what life on earth, his earth, is life.
But his destination keeps changing. And the funny, lost, remarkable people he meets along
the way can only partially prepare his for the secrets he'll uncover - from the truth about
his long - dead dad to the fact that, for a kid with a troubled mom and a mostly not-around
brother, he has way more family than he ever knew.

I have never read anything like this before and it is aimed at a middle grade audience. With me being a child at heart this story is going to be a perfect read and I cannot wait to get to it!
My review for this book will be live on here on the 2nd March.

So those are all the books I'm planning to read during February. If I managed to get anymore I will update this page and you will also see in my February wrap-up post.

Until my next post...Happy Reading Everyone!
