March 2018 Book Haul

 

I know this will be a shock, but I ended up with a pretty large haul for March.

 

Physical Books:

 

Purchased at Anderson’s Bookshop

 

 

I went to three book signings at Anderson’s in March.  I purchased these books.  Children of Blood and Bone, Heart of Iron, Obsidio, and Ice Wolves.

March 2018 Blog Stats

 

I wasn’t able to add my stats to my wrap up post since I made it before March was over.  So this is just a quick post to share my blog stats for the month.

 

Bingo & Word Search Wrap Up

 

I mentioned early March that I was doing two challenges.  I did ok on both, but didn’t finish either card.  There were books I read that just didn’t really fit into the remaining spaces.  But I had fun trying with both of these.

 

First up was the Women’s History Month Bingo.  We were allowed to use two books per space.  Here is my final (messy) card.

 

March Netgalley & Edelweiss Challenge Wrap Up

 

 

I joined the Netgalley & Edelweiss Challenge hosted by Bookish Things and More.  This is my update for March.  I have a couple reviews that are scheduled, but not up yet.  All are reviewed on Goodreads already and some are already posted here on my blog.

March 2018 Wrap Up

 

March was a pretty good reading month for me.  I’m writing this on 3/29, so I won’t have my blog stats to share yet.  I’m hoping to add those to another post once the month is over (yes, this post is up on 4/4 because I had other stuff already scheduled).  As of this writing, I’m one follower away from 750 and March was my best month for visitors so far.  So thank you all so much!

I read/listened to 11 books in March.  I liked everything, but there were a few huge standouts for me.   These are all in reading order.

March 2018 LitJoy Crate Unboxing: Poor Unfortunate Souls

 

 

The theme for March’s LitJoy Crate box was “Poor Unfortunate Souls”.  I love mermaids and anything ocean themed, so I knew I had to buy this crate.  I absolutely love it!  There will be spoilers from now on, so please stop reading if you don’t want to know what was in the box.

March 2018 FairyLoot Unboxing: Memorable Moments #FairyLoot123217

 

 

It’s been a little while since I’ve gotten a FairyLoot box.  I’ll be honest and say that this isn’t my favorite one they’ve sent, but there were a couple items I loved.  There will be spoilers after this, so please stop reading if you don’t want to see anything. 

March OwlCrate Unboxing: Across The Galaxy

 

 

 

The March Owlcrate was packed full of great items.  The theme was Across The Galaxy.  There will be spoilers now, so if you don’t want to see, please stop reading.

Joining two challenges/games for March

 

I have decided to do two challenges for March.  I’m not really changing my books to fit the challenges.  I’m just hoping that I can do ok with what I need to read and review.  I think that most of the books will fit in these challenges anyway.

 

 

First one is from Life & Lit on facebook.  This is a women’s history month bingo and each book can count for 2 squares.

Most Anticipated Releases for March 2018

 

March looks like it might be a slower book buying month for me, but there are still quite a few really good books coming out.  These are the ones I’m most looking forward to.
