March Wrap Up

This wasn't a great reading month for me in terms of quality and I was in a slump in the beginning of the month but I did still manage to get a decent amount of reading done! :) Hopefully I will do better next month but it is nearing the end of my final semester so I am really not sure :/

Speaking of final semester, I only have 2 weeks of school left!!! It is really surreal and it feels like I just entered uni not too long ago. Now I feel like a real adult, having to think about jobs and moving out etc. I am really excited though, its a brand new chapter! :D Uni was fun while it lasted but I am ready to be out in the real world, I am ready for the challenge~

I am currently making good progress on my current Goodreads challenge so I decided to extend it from 50 books this year to 80! :) I've never read more than 50 books in a year before but I really want to try and push myself. This seems pretty doable at the rate that I am reading. Wish me luck!

I READ 7 BOOKS THIS MONTH

Total: 6 Full Length Novels & 1 Graphic Novel

In reading order:

      

Favourite book: Falling Kingdoms was amazing!! It exceeded my expectations.

Best Cover: All of the covers are actually pretty good! :)

Wish I did not Read: The Program was a real disappointment, I didn't like how depression was portrayed in it and it seemed to be using the interesting topic of mental illnesses just to increase it marketability. It is really just a typical YA dystopian with a focus on the romance.

Most Surprising: The Graveyard Book Volume 1 - I was expecting a dark and creepy story but it is so much more than that!! I loved this and savoured every page of amazing art and storytelling. Can't wait to get my hands on the sequel!
