March Challenge Update & April TBR

Yup so we are a quarter of the way through 2017 already and my goal of reading slower this year has gone completely out the window. I had probably one of my best reading months ever this last month with a total of 40 books!

 

So here are the books I read this month along with the challenges. (I have decided to just list the books read this month instead of full lists because it gets a little long towards the end of the year. If you want to see all the books I have read this year you can check out my challenges page).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think I managed to read all but 3 or 4 of the books I had picked out for March (and I am in the middle of 2 of those books now).  I am nearly prepared for my RI Author month, at least in reading and reviews, so I can start focusing on other challenges and Children's Book Week coming up in May.  I will also be participating in the Tome Topple Readathon from April 7 - 20th and then Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon is scheduled for April 29th, I don't know if I will be participating or not it really depends on Munchkin's Tball schedule and our upcoming construction project. So I guess the spring is already kicking off my busy season! With that said here is my TBR for April!
