March 2022 Wrap Up

Happy April!

Happy Spring!

With all of my March reading plans, things didn't go so well. I got quite a bit slumpy and didn't read near as much as I both wanted and planned. That's okay though. I've learned to just roll with it and not try to force myself to read more than I want. While it's weird in the slump to not be enjoying reading or even just wanting to at all, I at least have enough other interests that I don't end up feeling completely adrift. Well, there's not too much, so let's get into it!

💗 I read 10 books for 3,066 pages

💗 I averaged 1.50 days per book

💗 I read 2 historical romances, 2 urban fantasies, 1 paranormal romance and 5 contemporary romances.
💗 For contemporaries I read 1 small-town and 4 normal.

1. The Tyrant Alpha's Rejected Mate by Cate C. Wells ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

2. The Opposite of You by Rachel Higginson ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

3. The Difference Between Us by Rachel Higginson ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫

4. The Problem with Him by Rachel Higginson ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

5. The Something About Her by Rachel Higginson ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

6. The Proposal by Mary Balogh ⭐⭐⭐💫

7. A False Start by Elsie Silver ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

8. Burn by Suzanne Wright ⭐⭐⭐

9. The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

10. The King of Fire by Ilona Andrews ⭐⭐⭐⭐

💗 This is a hard choice since most of the books I read this month were really good, but I think my favorite would have to be The Tyrant Alpha's Rejected Mate. I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I did and it's been a little bit since I've read not just a paranormal romance, but a werewolf one! My lease favorite would be my lowest rated, Burn by Suzanne Wright. I just had a lot of issues with the hero character.

So far I've read a couple books for April and it seems like my reading will be picking up. I'm hoping that I'll be able to make better progress for both the Love Has Sprung and Taylor Swift reading challenges. I also am starting another readalong which will be an author that's highly popular and has been on my tbr for a while, but still haven't picked up. I'm excited for that so stay tuned!

How was you reading in March?

Bookishly Yours,

Stasi🍎
