Every first Wednesday of the month, I’ll be posting a roundup of the month just gone, including discussing books read that month, challenge progress, and a summary of all posts for the month.
Last month I read a total of fifteen books: Red Sister (Book of the Ancestor #1) by Mark Lawrence, How To Be Bad by E. Lockhart, Lauren Myracle & Sarah Miynowski,
Life and Death by Stephanie Meyer, Glass Sword (Red Queen #2) by Victoria Aveyard, Drakenfeld (Drakenfeld #1) by Mark Charan Newton, The Named (Guardians of Time #1) by Marianne Curley, The Dark (Guardians of Time #2) by Marianne Curley, The Key (Guardians of Time #3) by Marianne Curley, The Strain (The Strain #1) by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan, A History of the World in 100 Objects by Neil MacGregor, Galactic Pot Healer by Philip K. Dick, A Man Lies Dreaming by Lavie Tidhar, Bastard Prince by Beverley A. Murphy,
Magus of Stonewylde (Stonewylde #1) by Kit Berry and The Still Point by Amy Sackville.
March was an odd month for reading. Before I moved, I wanted to read a load of books from my pile of ‘read then donate’ books – these are ones that I’ve probably bought second-hand and don’t reckon I’ll love enough to keep. I was definitely right, and found myself with quite a few disappointing reads. However, this did mean that I got quite a lot of reading done, and managed to squeeze fifteen books into the month!
As I mentioned in a previous post, I’ve now moved and started a new job. This is one of my first posts in two weeks or so, and posts might be slow for a bit, just while I’m getting used to everything. However I’ve got some recently read review copies, so hopefully I’ll be sharing my thoughts on those soon. 🙂
Challenge progress:
- I have currently read 44 books towards my Goodreads goal of 52. Still unsure whether to raise this when I hit it, or not…

Wow, you’ve read a lot, such a good job 🙂 I’m still behind xD raising might not be a good idea because you just got a new job and will probably be busy at least for a few more months till you settle? 🙂 but 44 already is an awesome number. I’m still somewhere around 20.
Thanks 😉 I actually manage to read a lot at the moment, on my commute and at lunch. So it’s all good! But I’ve beaten my yearly goal, and I don’t think I will raise it. I don’t want to pressure myself, if I do have reading slumps etc.
Anyway, the challenges are set by ourselves. Silly to make ourselves feel stressed over something like that, right? 😉
Yeah, you’re right. But then there’s all that [indirect] peer pressure 😀
