March Wrap-Up and April TBR!

Well this month is finally over. It did not seem like it was ever going to end! Thankfully we are on to the start of a new month and hopefully it does not feel as long as March did. With all the craziness of moving back home and doing online school, I still managed to get an immense amount of reading done. Here are all the books that I managed to read this month!

(Any books that are italicized are books that I had read for school)

(Any books that are underlined are NetGalley ARCS)

With all of the insanity of the world right now, I somehow managed to read a grand total of sixteen novels! I am honestly amazed and shocked by the sheer amount of books that I managed to read.

Since I am home most of the time now, as basically everyone has to be, I have a lot planned for this month as well. I still have a bunch more to read for school, but I want to take this time and start tackling my ever growing TBR as well. As always, I am not confining myself to this list, but here are the books that I anticipate reading this month!

(Any books that are italicized are books for class)

(Any books that are underlined are NetGalley ARCS that I acquired)

April TBR

  • The Lucky Ones by Liz Lawson
  • Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare 
  • Henry IV, Part One by William Shakespeare
  • Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murikami
  • The True History of the Kelly Gang by Peter Carey

I know it seems like I am taking on a lot here, and in all honestly, I am. However, under the intense circumstances that everyone is under right now, I truly want to get a large chunk of my TBR knocked out so that I can start making way for series and the books that are coming out in the coming months. There are so many books on my TBR that are either a part of a series or still have yet to come out, so I want to take the opportunity to knock out the ones I have access to reading while I have the chance. As stated, my TBR is subject to change since I am such a mood reader, which is also why I have a wide variety of books on the list.

Let me know down in the comments what you read in March and what you plan to read on April! Have you read any of the ones that I have read/plan to read and have your own thoughts on them? Comment your opinions on them!

As always, happy reading! 🙂

Overall, I am happy to be back in my little bookish corner on the internet and I hope you are happy that I am back as well.

As always, happy reading! 🙂

Overview of 2018

365 days, 93 books, I would say I was fairly successful. While I was sadly unable to reach my goal, I am still very happy with all that I was able to accomplish. Hopefully I hit 100 in this year of 2019, but we still have 362 more days and a lot can happen there.

 

Were you able to hit your reading goals of 2018? How many books did you read? What are your reading goals for 2019?
