Rating the 8 Books I Read in February 2025

Books

I’m not sure I could have beat last month’s 12 books, but I’m pretty happy with knocking out 8 books in February! I’ve got a few non-fictions, 1 mystery thriller, and a bunch of romances to report to y’all on. And I’m currently reading Onyx Storm (newest Fourth Wing book), and it’s taking me a while, so I imagine that 8 books for last month will be a lot better than this month lol

12 Books I Read in January 2025

Liturgy of the Ordinary: Sacred Practices in Everyday Life by Tish Harrison Warren

I REALLY enjoyed Liturgy of the Ordinary. This is more of a faith-based book, but I do think people could get something out of it without being religious because it is SO well-written and is just a reminder of finding gratitude throughout the ordinary things of the day.

5/5 stars

Better Than the Movies by Lynn Painter

Honestly… this one is on me for blindly adding it to my TBR list without reading the summary closely lol this book is a high school romance which isn’t my thing as an almost 30 year old 😉 It is cute if you are a younger reader!

3/5 stars

Butcher & Blackbird by Brynne Weaver

Rating the 8 Books I Read in February 2025

This was the first… “dark romance” I’ve read in a while, but I really enjoyed this one! The FMC and MMC are both vigilante serial killers, so that’s where the gore and dark comes in. Still a fun read though!

4/5 stars

Fight Right by Julie & John Gottman

This book was amazing. I’ve been reading 10 pages or listening to an non-fiction audiobook for 10 minutes everyday as part of the 75 medium challenge, and I flew through this one. I found it to be so helpful in dissecting my own brain and the flaws in which I come at conflict. This should be required reading for anyone getting married!

5/5 stars

Potty Training in 3 Days by Brandi Brucks

I know I’m supposed to be rating all of these, but I don’t feel like I can give this one a real rating until I start officially potty training! I liked that this was a quick read, but time will tell if the advice of this book actually work!

TBD stars 😉

Lights Out by Navessa Allen

After I read Butcher & Blackbird, I saw this really popular other dark romance and thought, why not? Turns out I’m not a huge fan of the stalker romance genre! The banter in this book was fun, but the big conflict of this book could have been SO much more exciting if it had been drawn out a bit more.

3.5/5 stars

Confessions on the 7:45 by Lisa Unger

This one is a thriller-mystery type book and I wasn’t shocked by any of the reveals/twists of this book. It felt predictable and while I was mostly intrigued the first half, I was ready for it to be over the second half.

3/5 stars

The Ex Vows by Jessica Joyce

Really cute second-chance/forced-proximity/reconnecting romance book! In a sense, this book is also a big miscommunication (or rather lack of communication) book, which normally drives me crazy, but only made me a little crazy in this instance. I really liked the friend group dynamics and chemistry between the characters. It’s a fun read!

4.25/5 stars
