I had another great month, I read and reviewed 32 books which just reinforces my belief that I need to get a life! 😂 Sam at Clues and Reviews makes me feel more normal as she read thirty five! We’re demon speed readers, we’re even thinking of starting a biker gang with jackets and all. Long story, watch this space.
Let’s check in with my reading goals since I totally forgot to add this part to my February wrap up.
Tackle review requests:
It’s going, it’s never ending but it’s going.
Highlight more indie authors:
Yep, doing this!!
Netgalley:
Umm…well…yeah…don’t ask.
Personal TBR:
Yikes. The Breakdown was not a review copy so I’m counting that.
Piggy bank:
Slacking but I’m gonna fix it this week.
Discussion posts:
YES! I posted about blogger guilt and it was a success. It’s one of my most viewed posts EVER 😱 Part two is almost done, I’ll have it up this week. I even have another topic for April.
Goodreads goal:
I’m at 90 books and 30% so on track.
DNF:
Yeah I had another this month, The Fall of Lisa Bellow. I may even have had more than that?
Say No:
Several times but I’ve also said yes a few. Sigh.
TBC Challenge:
Still only 2/20. I’m thinking about not scheduling anything for July and enjoying the summer with my kids and reading from my personal TBR only. Hopefully I’ll make progress then.
Book of the month:
This was tough, I read some really fabulous books, but my winner for March is…
Six Stories was so original and exciting, I was blown away by this one.
How was March for you? If you have a wrap up post link me!!
Great list!!! This is really impressive. I love all of the thrillers, and I’d love to give you an ARC of my own thriller, if you’d be willing to squeeze it in 🙂

Okay, so I’m reading this post and scrolling down………and scrolling………and scrolling!
OMG, my mouth opened so wide my false teeth fell out when I FINALLY got to the bottom to see that you have read 32 books this month! I think I may have read 32 pages **cringes in shame** but I have added Six Stories to my TBR list as I’m seeing so many great reviews on this bad boy. Thanks for the recommendation!

I was thinking the same thing… Just kidding!! I was actually thinking that you are #ReadingGoals! It’s crazy that you have read 90 books so far this year as that is my goal for 2017.
Congrats on your first discussion! I loved it. Can’t wait to see part 2!
