It has been a great reading month thanks to the Take Control of Your TBR Pile Challenge. I blogged less but I read more and that is a win since I probably spend more time blogging than actually reading these days. It motivated me to read several books from my shelves which I haven't done yet this year. Some of these books were on the '1001 Children's Books to Read Before You Grow Up' list and some were books that I wanted to read before the movie adaptation comes out. Overall, I've made a huge leap in my goals in this month! I basically doubled the amount of books I read each month!

ABC CHALLENGE PROGRESS

I almost forgot to mention the #HidingReadathon hosted by Annika over at Hiding in Books that took place over Easter weekend!
I attempted to read more than usual, and I did read more pages a day than I usually do but I didn't actually finish a book since I was reading 2 books at once (one physical, one ebook, like usual.) I didn't think that warranted a separate wrap up so I thought I'd just make an honorable mention here!

How did you guys do on your goals this month? What was your favorite book?
Oooo, I so want to read both Room and The Girl On The Train. I have both books in my massive 'to be read' pile, but haven't read either one yet... I have sooooo many books waiting to be read it's ridiculous (in a good way)!!!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wish I could be paid to sit around all day long and read the books sitting in my 'to be read' pile. And of course, blog about what I read. Isn't there a career path for that?? ;-)
That's great! So many of those look good... I read The Girl on the Train and am curious to see the movie version. And I like the places you visited part- that's a cool challenge!
ReplyDeleteYou made such good progress in March, that's amazing!
ReplyDeleteMe Before You, Shadow Magic, and Ready Player One all sound so good and I can't wait to read those!
I hope you liked Room - I think it kind of upset me when I read it..
