March Wrap Up

So March was not a fantastic reading month for me. Highlight is I started to really like audio! Low point is that I barely read compared to what I’m usually like. Too many long fantasy books.

 

Best books of the month:

Wild Country by Anne BishopHarry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. RowlingHarry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. RowlingHarry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. RowlingHarry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling

 

I also did a lot of re-reads so I can catch up on my favorite series.

Skin Trade by Laurell K. HamiltonWritten in Red by Anne BishopCrimson Death by Laurell K. HamiltonFlirt by Laurell K. HamiltonScythe by Neal Shusterman

 

Lows of the month

Serpentine by Laurell K. Hamilton

This was just generally a horrible way for the series to end for me. I invested 15+ years in this series! 😡

Look ahead into April

So April I have both a small goal and a maximum goal of books.

 

My minimum goal is 8 books. 4 audio and 4 physical. Preferably ARCS.

 

My maximum goal is 60. 30 audio and 30 physical. Mostly ARCS.

 

I have gotten quite a few audios since my last post. I will post some of the newer ones here.

 

I have almost all the Red Queen (Red Queen, #1) now.

I also have all the Shadow and Bone (The Grisha, #1) in including Six of Crows (Six of Crows, #1) and King of Scars (Nikolai Duology, #1)

I am also going to try my first adult audio! Moon Called  (Mercy Thompson, #1)Cry Wolf (Alpha & Omega, #1). I tried to find one I had read before that wasn’t too sexy. Didn’t know if I would like to listen to sex scenes.

 

I also completed buying The Demon King (Seven Realms, #1)

 

and the first book of the spin off Flamecaster (The Shattered Realms, #1)

 

I also have the Blood Rose Rebellion (Blood Rose Rebellion, #1) series

Also the Shatter Me (Shatter Me, #1) series

and finally the Storm Glass (Glass, #1) series.

 

I have a few pre orders as well

Wicked Saints (Something Dark and Holy, #1)The Devouring Gray

April Challenge

I am doing a challenge with some friends Goodreads. We are all going to try to listen to as much audio as possible to see if it increases how much we are able to read. Right now I average 8-12 books a month. I’m hoping to increase that to 15 or maybe even 20!

Plus with a puppy coming audio will be a lot easier while taking care of her!

 

We don’t really have any rules. I guess just listen to audio? lol.

 

The books I’m hoping to read I’ll post soon. I have a lot. lol.

 

Shadow and Bone (The Grisha, #1)Siege and Storm (The Grisha, #2)Ruin and Rising (The Grisha, #3)Six of Crows (Six of Crows, #1)Crooked Kingdom (Six of Crows, #2)King of Scars (Nikolai Duology, #1)

State of the ARC February and a look ahead to March

So again I didn’t do well. I think I only read one ARC? 🤦‍♀️

 

I’m going to really try again in March. But who knows. I’m in two constrictive challenges so it will depend on what I can read.

puppypuppy 1

 

She’s mostly black with some tan and some white.

I’m so excited! I’m thinking of names although I still like Rose, Rowan or Ruby.

So happy I will have a new member in my family!

 

Edit: I’m also thinking of the name Amie!

 

Oh and here is a bit of a blurry pic of the mom with the puppies
