I’ve been slaying it with the reading this year so far. I’m currently reading The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn. Yes, I’m officially a Bridgerton fan. I’m also rereading Rock Addiction by Nalini Singh. I always forget how much I love Fox and Molly.

I’ve been listening to Archangel’s Blade by Nalini Singh on audio. Holy crap is the narrator amazing. I feel like she has Dmitri spot on.

I finished The Wages of Sin by Kaite Welsh and Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. I didn’t love either of them, but I enjoyed aspects of both. The Welsh was a very somber, bleak tale, however. I’m not sure I’ll continue on with the series. I listened to One Fine Fae by Molly Harper, a Mystic Bayou novella available on audio only. I really enjoyed the story. I love that series.

I’m currently listening to Make Mine Magic by Shanna Swendson and reading Her Wicked Marquess by Stacy Reid. I should be finished with both by tomorrow. I’m not sure what I’m going to start next.

This week was a really slow reading week for me. I started Training Camp by Wesley King and Kobe Bryant but I’m still reading it right now. It’s not a bad book by any stretch but I’m just distracted with other things right now. The state of our country, some family stuff, and TBH, TikTok. LOL. I blame TikTok. When in doubt, blame TikTok. I’m hoping to finish Training Camp over the weekend so that I can jump into some other books that I’ve been itching to read. The Rosie Danan books to be exact. Wish me luck!

Holly: I read more books this week! Hooray! I finished Protect the Prince by Jennifer Estep, then read Crush the King, the next book in the series. I also read The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle Jensen, an Audible Escape book that came up in my recommended reads. I ended up really enjoying it. I got impatient with the audiobook so I downloaded the Kindle version and only listened when I couldn’t read. Fair warning, it ends in a cliffhanger and while the second book, The Traitor Queen, is available in audio, the ebook won’t be released until September. I also re-read a couple books.

I’m listening to The Traitor Queen by Danielle Jensen now. I’m not sure which book I’m going to read yet.

Rowena: Considering the kind of reading weeks I’ve been having lately, things are starting to turn around (fingers crossed). I read one book this week but I made a concentrated effort to get back into a reading schedule and it’s working! I finished Magic Shifts by Ilona Andrews last night and I have already started on Magic Stars. I’m ready for Derek to be front and center of a story, even if it’s a short one. I love me some Derek! I only read a couple of pages because I was tired but I’ll finish that one up today and then jump into Magic Binds and I can’t wait!

Casee: This hasn’t been a great reading week for me. I still have all the time, but I’m not reading all the books. I reading Golden Trail by Kristen Ashley. She’s like my comfort author. If I ever want to read a book that I know I’ll like, KA is where it’s at.

I’m listening to Say You’ll Stay by Corinne Michaels. This is my first book by her. I’ll report later on my thoughts.

Holly: I read books this week! New to me books! Oh happy day! I finished Sin and Spirit by K.F. Breene, then read Sin and Lightning. I’m bummed I have to wait until July for the next book. I really like the series. I also listened to Always Be My Banshee by Molly Harper. I didn’t love the male narrator, but the story itself was really good. Molly Harper’s books are a lot of fun.

I’m currently reading Protect the Prince by Jennifer Estep.

Rowena: Happy Friday, everyone! It’s been a good week for me because…I finally read finished a book. I finally finished Magic Steals and then I went on to read Magic Breaks. Oh man, there’s a lot going down in the Kate Daniels world for me right now and I’m thrilled with every single page that I’ve been reading. I’m so thrilled that I’ve already jumped into the next book, Magic Shifts. Happy reading, everyone!

Casee: Self-quarantine has boosted by reading time tremendously. I’ve read four Christine Feehan books. Her writing sure has changed over the last several years. I’m now reading The Sinner by J.R. Ward. I’m actually enjoying it, which is somewhat surprising.

I’m listening to Kiss the Stars by A.L. Jackson. I love this author and I love the narrators. I’m looking forward to getting further into it.

Holly: I reread Getting Schooled by Emma Chase this week, thanks in part to my Sunday Spotlight post. I also re-read Dragos Takes a Holiday by Thea Harrison and something else I can’t remember at the moment. I started Dragon Unleashed by Grace Draven, but I’ve only managed to read a couple pages. It seems I don’t have much brainpower for reading during this pandemic.

Rowena: So you would think that since I’m bored in the house, that I’m in the house bored, I’d be reading a whole lot of books. Well, you’d be wrong because I’m not reading a hot damn thing. I’m watching a whole lot of Korean dramas though. I watched Itaewon Class in two days, followed by two days of Crash Landing on You, and now I’m watching What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim. I have loved every single one of these shows and am already making a list of what I’ll be watching next. I’m hooked. So what am I reading? The subtitles on my Netflix screen and that’s it. Maybe next week I’ll pick up a book. Wish me luck and Happy Friday!

Rowena’s Monthly Recap: March 2020

Posted April 15, 2020 by Rowena in Features | 2 Comments

The Monthly Recap posts are a way for me to take a look back and reflect on my previous month in books. From the books that I read, the books that I got, and the books that I need to read. I always lose track of what I have, what I need to read and I need these posts to keep me honest with myself because I be forgetting shit. I also need a list of the reviews that I wrote/posted each month because one of my goals is to write a review for every book that I read. Listing these out every month helps me.

So here’s what my March 2020 month in books looked like.

Monthly Book Stats

What I Got for Review

Nothing. I haven’t touched my review pile in about a month so I wasn’t looking to add anything to it. Right now, I’m all Kate Daniels, all the Kate Daniels time.

There you have it, the month that was March in books for me. How did your month look? Did you read any good books? Any bad books? Share with me in the comments!
