February TBR

Hey Fellow Readers!

I thought I would do something I have yet to do and share my TBR (or my To Be Read) for the month!  I normally go to the library every few weeks or so to pick up more things to read.  This month will be no exception, I do plan on reading a couple more, but have yet to pick them up.
The first two books I have picked out to read are from the library.

The first one is:
between shades of gray
By: Ruta Sepetys

Here’s the synopsis from GoodReads.
“Lina is just like any other fifteen-year-old Lithuanian girl in 1941. She paints, she draws, she gets crushes on boys. Until one night when Soviet officers barge into her home, tearing her family from the comfortable life they’ve known. Separated from her father, forced onto a crowded and dirty train car, Lina, her mother, and her young brother slowly make their way north, crossing the Arctic Circle, to a work camp in the coldest reaches of Siberia. Here they are forced, under Stalin’s orders, to dig for beets and fight for their lives under the cruelest of conditions.”
I haven’t read a lot of historical fiction, but I have heard great things about this one so when I saw it I thought this would be a good place to start.

Next I have:
I’ll Give you the Sun
By: Jandy Nelson



Here is another synopsis from GoodReads.

Jude and her twin brother, Noah, are incredibly close. At thirteen, isolated Noah draws constantly and is falling in love with the charismatic boy next door, while daredevil Jude cliff-dives and wears red-red lipstick and does the talking for both of them. But three years later, Jude and Noah are barely speaking. Something has happened to wreck the twins in different and dramatic ways . . . until Jude meets a cocky, broken, beautiful boy, as well as someone else—an even more unpredictable new force in her life. The early years are Noah’s story to tell. The later years are Jude’s. What the twins don’t realize is that they each have only half the story, and if they could just find their way back to one another, they’d have a chance to remake their world.”


Finally one from my own unread bookshelf!

The Unnaturalists
By: Tiffany Trent


Very short description for this one from GoodReads.

In an alternate London where magical creatures are preserved in a museum, two teens find themselves caught in a web of intrigue, deception, and danger.

This book looks like it combines a little bit of steampunk with a little alternate worlds.  I’m pretty excited to get into this one.  I mean look at the cover! I’m such a sucker for a pretty cover.

Are any of these on your TBR?  Have you read these and wanna talk about them?  Let me know in a comment!  Thanks for reading!
