Epic Reading Challenge: February

This year, the TBG is participating in the Epic Reads Challenge 2024, where each month presents a different prompt to inspire our reading choices! We encourage the community to join in this challenge with us and participate in the prompt each month.

We're still playing catch-up, so February’s Prompt was… a multi POV book

A multi-POV book simply means that the novel contains chapters/content from the perspective of more than one character. This technique is often used in romance novels, with each individual in the love pair being given chapters from their own POV. It can even be used in tandem with third-person narration, which can often in high fantasy novels.

Grace's choice for February is Every Time You Hear That Song by Jenna Voris.

This novel is centered around two main characters, both of which get their own POVs throughout the book. Darren is a young journalist who is fascinated by the legendary country star, Decklee Cassel, and the mysteriously empty time-capsule that she left behind after her death.

Not only is this book told in two perspectives, it is told in two different timelines. The “present” is told through Darren’s POV, as she unveils clues in a scavenger hunt for the real time capsule. The reader can also enjoy flashback chapters, told from Decklee’s POV, giving the story of her rise to fame and shaky relationship with fellow artist Mickenlee. 

The novel blends an exciting mystery and two romances in this upcoming YA release. I thought that the two different POV’s kept me on my toes and made for a page-turning read!

Holly's choice was Restore Me by Tahereh Mafi

Part of the Shatter Me collection, Restore Me follows the perspective of Juliette Ferrars and Aaron Warner. Juliette has just taken over The Reestablishment and now everyone is waiting to see how she will rule. I really like the Shatter Me collection; it is a series of dystopian novels with romance, multi-pov’s, and twist-and-turns. The Shatter Me series keeps readers on their toes and turning the pages. I chose this book for February's reading challenge because it is a great series and it was connected to the challenge.
