March 2018
March is already over. It is really hard to believe. I feel like it rained the entire month. I am sure that it really didn’t but it kind of feels like it did. Quite a few things happened during the month. There were band concerts, prom dresses to buy, medical appointments, college visits, a book signing, kids to play with, dogs to walk, and a week away from work. Some days were relaxing while others were anything but. Overall, I think it was a pretty decent month and I have to admit that I am kind of surprised that I managed to fit 15 books into the mix with everything else going on in my life.
I am linking this post to the Monthly Wrap-Up at Feed Your Fiction Addiction.

How was your month? Do you have any reading or blogging goals for April?
What a busy and productive March you had, I wish I could say the same book review wise but I was a slacker and was away the last 2 weeks of March. I look forward to your review of The Good Luck Sister as I have this on my to read list.
Nothing wrong with taking a bit of a break, Cindy. I am really looking forward to starting The Good Luck Sister.
that's a good bilan there!
Thanks, Melliane!
which book is it that you DNF? Did I read the review? you hardly DNF so I am curious now
I gave up on Nights at Seaside by Addison Cole. I couldn't stand the narrator and I wasn't all that impressed by the story. I don't usually write reviews for books I don't finish. Of course, I rarely dnf – maybe twice a year or so.
It really was a fast moving busy month. Way to go on reading four blogger shames and getting through a nice stack even though you were busy.
Have a great April, Carole!
I was actually kind of surprised by the numbers when I totalled everything up for this post. It was a busy month for sure.
You always seem busy, so I’m impressed that you read so much. I’ll be interested to hear what you think of Only Human. I read the first book in that series and then failed to continue with the series. I hope you have a great April!
Aj @ Read All The Things!
I can't wait to get started with Only Human. I have read and re-read the first two books and can't wait to see what happens next.
Sounds like a busy month!! And wow for fitting in that many books too. I want to get to Good Luck Sister this month too. Have a great April!
It was really busy at times and quiet at other times. I am ready for some Jill Shalvis 🙂
Wow! Fifteen books, so impressive. I hope April will be an even better month for you.
I have my fingers crossed that April will be a great month.
How did you fit 15 books in with all that going on?! Amazing!
I listen to audiobooks at work which helps increase my totals 🙂
I can't believe how fast March flew by! 15 books is awesome though, wow! I really want to get to Lake Silence. And I might have to go back to the Sleeping Giants series, I've only read book one but now that two and three are out I kinda wanna go back. 🙂
I really have been enjoying the Sleeping Giants series, Greg. If you like audiobooks, the audios for this series are amazing. I hope you get a chance to read Lake Silence soon!
Oh wow. It's been so long since I've had a 15 books read in a month! You are on fire. ;D
Thank you!
That's a lot of reading.
Of course, I still want to read more 🙂
wow 15 books, I think that is amazing 😀 I might have read like 14 last month and that was actually quiet a bit for me.
Awesome stats for netgalley, super jealous
Thanks, Lily! I am really working hard on catching up those old NetGalley books this year. I have not been adding to the pile like I used to and I have a goal of bumping my percentage by 1% every month.
Looks like you have a very busy but productive month and I agree that it seems like all it has done is rain…lol.
Great job!!
Stormi
Thanks, Stormi! I am ready for some warmer temps and sunshine 🙂
I've only heard of a handful of these books, but they look good! I read 29 books in March and Jenn (My blog mate) read 46 and I want to beat her, or at least get close to her count for April.
Here's our wrap up: http://jennreneeread.blogspot.com/2018/04/march-monthly-recap.html
How I wish I was able to read that many books in a month!
Sounds like you had a great reading month! I'm very curious about Only Human.
I can't wait to get started with that book!
Woo! That is quite the busy month for sure. And some nice reading 🙂 Totally hear ya on the rain. We've had months like that where it feels like it's been raining for every and a week. lol
I just want to see some sunshine and leave the coat at home. That's all I am asking 🙂
I'm with you with the rain! Sounds like you had a super busy month though most of it fun. And 15 books is seriously impressive! Hope April is wonderful.
We definitely had some busy moments in the month. I hope April is a calm month.
I had a fantastic book month-my goal for April is to get alot more read and reviewed!! I won all kinds of wonderful books, plus bought a few. I did DNF one though!!

Congrats on all the wins, Joann!
I can't believe March has already passed. You had a very productive month, I'm envious because I slacked off on blogging in March. Have a wonderful day.
I tend to have my slower months during marching band season at the beginning of the school year. We all need a break from time to time.
Looks like you read some pretty great books this month. Hope April is a good reading month as well.
Thanks, Abby!
Wow! You sure had a busy month in March! I also can't believe that March is already over. It seems like it went by so fast! I hope you have a wonderful April!
Here’s my March Monthly Wrap Up!
Ronyell @ Rabbit Ears Book Blog
Thanks, Ronyell!
I need to read the rest of the Matt Wallace series…
I think I am going to stop after this first one. It just wasn't for me.
I think it has rained all month too.I'm ready for Spring. I hope you have a great April.
Melanie @ Hot Listens & Rabid Reads & Books of My Heart
It is April and it is snowing right now. Where is my spring?! This is not normal for this area.
That IS a lot of reading for a busy month. I agree that the weather has been so wonky lately—it's snowing here today!
Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
We had snow over the weekend but it seems like maybe this week will be better. I hope so!
15 books in a busy month is no small feat! Well done! XD
Thank you!
15 books– that's great! I'm impressed (only managed to eek out 3 books this past month).
Thanks, Anna!
