Monthly Wrap-Up

Monthly Wrap-Up: March

Quote04/02/201909/02/2019 Elizabeth AguilarLeave a comment

March is by far my best reading month this year! On one hand, out of the eight books on my March TBR, I read seven. On the other hand, I read 25– yes, 25– books. Ten of those were five star reads and some of my absolute favorites for the year. I can’t wait to share my reviews for these books.

Out of the twenty five books I read this month, 12% audiobooks, 32% were e-books, and 56% were physical books. I had a goal last month of reading at least five physical books after noting that I missed the experience of lying in a couch and flipping through pages. Not only did I meet that goal but I exceeded it by almost 3 times!

TBRs have proven to be helpful in helping me read more so I intend to keep doing it for the foreseeable future. Check out this month’s reads and my ratings!

Happy release-day to THE ELECTRIC HEIR by @sosaidvictoria! . . Check out my ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review on my blog (link in bio)! It's a must read! #theelectricheir #feverwake #victorialee #amazonpublishing #skyscape #ya #fantasy #scify #lgbtqia

***GIVEAWAY*** . . . Do you prefer standalones, duologies, or series? . . I enjoy all of them, but I tend to gravitate towards series. But sometimes, like recently, I'll find myself loving standalones and duologies. Feverwake (The Fever King and The Electric Heir) are my recent reads and I can't say enough about how amazing the duology is. From the complex characters to the world-building to the heavy topics it explores, it's an underrated duology that deserves more love. . . The Electric Heir continues six months after The Fever King left off, with Noam at Lehrer’s side after sending a fever-mad Dara into the quarantined zone and forgetting Lehrer’s the true nature. Noam thinks Dara is dead. He isn’t, and he’s back in Carolinia to end Lehrer once and for all. Check out my full review by visiting my blog (link in bio)!

***GIVEAWAY*** . . . What's your most anticipated of 2020? . . . Ink in the Blood by @kimsmejkal easily became one of my top five-- if not THE top-- books of 2020. It has art, theatre, trickery, tattoo magic, questions of faith, and a goddess hell-bent on revenge. Plus, that cover? What's not to love? 5/5 stars Ink in the Blood is the story of Celia, an inkling in the service of the Profeta who seeks to escape the insidious religious institution she serves by joining a traveling theatre group. Yet in doing so, she finds herself in the hands of those she sought to escape from. Check out my full review by visiting my blog (link in bio)!
