Wow! This year is absolutely flying by! I cannot believe that we are already a quarter of the way through the year and spring is here already! I have done a ton of reading this month, even though most of it was Middle Grade books. I also managed to really sort through a lot of my books and Unhaul a bunch on my TBR which I am very happy about too. All in all a rather successful month.

March Reading Stats:
I read a total of 32 books this month
3,629 pages read and 1 days, 13 hours and 28 minutes of listening
Resolutions Check in:
1. Read Less Books: I read 40 books in the month of March last year and 32 this year so - Check!
2. Be More aware while reading: I made a ton of notes for the readalongs, especially Frankenstein - Check!
3. Read More Chunky Books (12 books over 450 pages in 2018): I did read one book over 450 pages this month, squeaked it out at the very end - Check
4. Use Library & Overdrive more: I have borrowed a bunch of books but only one I hadn't already purchased, I do have a couple on hold though. - Check!
5. Purge & Re-organize shelves: I DNFed 3 books and pulled 3 more off the shelves for donation. I also used Try a Chapter go to through all my subscription box books and added 11 (at least at the time of typing this) to my Unhaul pile - Check!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I read nearly all the books I set out to read last month, except the big chunky ones, so that will be one of my focuses this month. I also really need to buckle down and read some of my RI author books.

How did your March go? What book did you not get to in March that will be top of your TBR for April?
Way to meet your goals! I’m impressed! I didn’t have any reading goals but read way more than I thought I would. That’s good, right?
ReplyDeleteI am so happy I have been meeting my goals, not only the TBRs I set out but also the annual goals. That is awesome that you were able to read so much this month, hope you get to keep going!
