March 2018 Wrap Up

Hello lovelies! Welcome to another Wrap Up! I guess it’s just that time of the month for this, eh?

Last month was an exceptionally good reading month for me. This month I still managed to read quite a few books. I even wanted to try and read about 5 or 6 ARCs, since last month I read 10(!!). I need want to catch up on them (I have so many *stress-cries*). While I’m glad to say that my feedback ration on Netgalley has gone up, that’s only because the ARC’s that I tried to read just weren’t for me. At all..

 

Books I read:

• Us (Him, #2) by Elle Kennedy & Sabrina Bowen
• No Game No Life, Volume 01, by Yuu Kamiya
• (Re-read) Shatter Me (Shatter Me, #1) by Tahereh Mafi
• (Re-read) Unravel Me (Shatter Me, #2) by Tahereh Mafi
• (Re-read) Ignite Me (Shatter Me, #3) by Tahereh Mafi
• (Re-read) Unite Me (Shatter Me, #1.5, & #2.5) by Tahereh Mafi
• Whisper by Lynette Noni (ARC)
• Restore Me (Shatter Me, #4) by Tahereh Mafi
• Noragami: Stray God Volume 03 by Adachitoka
• Dreamin’ Sun Volume 02 by Ichigo Takano
• Blue Exorcist Volume 02 by Kazue Kato
• The Assassin’s Blade (Throne of Glass, #0.1–#0.5) by Sarah J. Maas
• Nowhere But Here (Thunder Road, #1) by Katie McGarry
• Rock & Release by Riley Edgewood
• Assassin’s Heart (Assassin’s Heart, #1) by Sarah Ahiers
• Dreamin’ Sun Volume 03 by Ichigo Takano
• Perfect World Volume 01 by Rie Aruga

I DNF’d (Did Not Finish) a lot of books this month.

The first one that I DNF’d was Arena by Holly Jennings. I wanted to finish reading the story, but I lost interest after I put it down. I read far enough into the book where I could get a sense of where the story was heading, so I quit while I was ahead. It was easy to fall into the story though, which was great. — I stopped reading at page 142.

Arena is the only book I find that is worth talking about. All of the rest of the books which I marked DNF are books that I would honestly prefer to forget about, ahaha.

Books I Acquired:

• The Demon in the Wood: A Darkling Prequel Story by Leigh Bardugo
• Us (Him, #2) by Elle Kennedy & Sabrina Bowen
• Birthright (Legacy, #1) by Jessica Ruddick
• The Queen’s Rising by Rebecca Ross
• The Wicked Deep by Shea Ernshaw
• Restore Me (Shatter Me, #4) by Tahereh Mafi
• Twice Dead by Caitlin Seal (ARC)
• The City of Brass by S. A. Chakraborty
• The Heart Forger (The Bone Witch #2) by Rin Chupeco
• The Swedish Prince by Karina Halle
• Emergency Contact by Mary H.K. Choi
• A Conjuring of Light (A Darker Shade of Magic, #3) by V.E. Schwab
• Perfect World volume 01 by Rie Aruga (ARC)

I had 13 new books enter my life (aside from the library books I’ve borrowed) this month! I think April is going to be the month where I DON’T buy any books. I’m going to try and ban myself from buying books In April since I’ve run out of room on my shelves, and I’m flat broke. Ahahaha.

March Diary

Mar. 03 — HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM!! I love ya and hope you had a great birthday.

Mar. 07 & 07 — Turns out I’m really good at having anxiety attacks lately, as well as freaking out over time.

Mar. 26 — My motivation this month went downhill incredibly fast. Right as I’m typing this, I’m feeling like I just want to go to sleep for a few days and not wake up. However, a factor could be that I might be getting sick. My throat has been bothering me for the last couple of days..

Mar. 28 — I’m so glad that I finally found a book that I could finish reading.
