What an odd month. Life as we know it has changed for now, and I think we’re all still trying to adjust to the new normal. I know it took a toll on my mental health, so it definitely affected my reading.
I don’t know if that affected my ratings or not, but I read a lot of meh books this month. They weren’t great but weren’t bad either. Here’s what I read:
- Lovestruck by Kate Watson ⭐⭐.5
- Don’t Check Out This Book! by Kate Klise ⭐⭐⭐
- Brief Chronicle of Another Stupid Heartbreak by Adi Alsaid ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- The Queen’s Assassin by Melissa de la Cruz ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- All the Stars and Teeth by Adalyn Grace ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- We Are the Wildcats by Siobhan Vivian ⭐⭐.5
- Music From Another World by Robin Talley ⭐⭐⭐
- Hungry for Your love by Lori Perkins ⭐⭐⭐
- All the Pretty Things by Emily Arsenault ⭐⭐⭐
I didn’t really have a favorite this month. The middle of the month was best reading wise. I liked Brief Chronicle of Another Stupid Heartbreak, The Queen’s Assassin and All the Stars and Teeth. I liked that I read more fantasy this month. I may try to read more next month. It’s a great way to forget about the real world and get lost in a made up one.
My least favorite was We are the Wildcats. I was just so disappointed. It was my most anticipated this month and it was just a total let down.
✔️ Stats✔️
- Goodreads Goal: 30/120. I lowered my goal this month. I’m not really reading a ton of audios, and my eyeball reading just isn’t cutting it. I read 9 ebooks this month, which is more than last month, so at least I’m improving!
- I read 3134 pages, which is a little less than last month. But I did read one more ebook than last month! I didn’t do any audios this month. My average rating was 3.22⭐.
- I consumed 1 romance, mystery, and horror, 2 fantasies, and 4 contemporaries.
- For audiences, I read 1 middle grade, 1 adult and 7 YA.
- I read seven ARCs, which is one more than last month! I am trying super hard to get through those and get caught up.
✔️ Yearly Goals Check In ✔️
- Monthly Goal of 15 a Month: I read 9 this month. I think I will lower this goal to 10. Ten books a month is definitely doable, and I think I would have hit that had this month not been so weird.
- TBR Goal: I kept doing the posts every Sunday, along with a bonus post. As far as reading 20 this year – well, I am at 4. But there is still time! And I’m only 28 away from getting it below 1800! I’m excited to see where we are at the end of the year.
- Words & Whimsy: I did a chat with Eric Smith this month which was so much fun! Don’t Read the Comments is still my favorite book of the year! We also did an overhaul, added more mods, and started our own reading game! I’m excited to see what Words & Whimsy Reading Challenge looks like in April! It’s going to be a blast!
- Book Battle: Words & Whimsy and Book Battle have parted ways. As I mentioned, we have our own reading game now!
- Mithah Reads: I didn’t post as much as I wanted to this month, but I am determined to get back on track with April! I am going to do a couple blog tours next month that I’m really excited about!
- I am still keeping up with my three reading spreadsheets, so I’m pretty proud of myself! I do love finishing a book and adding it to the sheet. It’s so satisfying!
