This month was pretty great! š
Of course, I couldn’t not include a Beauty and the Beast gif in this wrap-up. I mean that movie was perfection and probably the highlight of my month. I took my mom and little sisters to see it and during the library part they all turned to me and said, “You would never leave that room.” Which, I wouldn’t. š Have you guys gotten the chance to see it yet? What did you think? Anyway! Besides that, I participated in my first Goodreads Q&A this month that one of my favorite authors was doing. Safe to say I got nothing done that day but it was completely worth it. I also got more blogging done this month than I have since the end of last year and read two incredible books. Plus, it was my one year blogiversary! *throws party* Outside of obsessing over Beauty and the Beast, reading, and blogging I had a relaxing month which was a much needed and nice change of pace.

I ultimately decided against reviewing The Struggle because I needed a mini breakĀ from reviewing and also because I read itĀ way too fast. I devoured this book in less than a day because I couldn’t put it down. I loved it! Seeing how much Seth has grown since the Covenant series and just all the twists and turns. Seriously, I need the last book now!

I’m in such a toss up over this month’s favorite read because bothĀ The Struggle andĀ A Darker Shade of MagicĀ were incredible in very different ways. However, in the end,Ā A Darker Shade of MagicĀ wins simply for the fact that I am still in awe over the world building. I’ve not even finished the series and already I want to go back and reread the first book just to experience the introduction to the world all over again!

I’m not entirely sure what April will hold for this little book blog. I do know that I plan on trying to get back into posting two to three times a week. I also plan on keeping up the monthly recommendation posts I’ve been doing for the past few months because I have so much fun with them. And due to the great response I got on the discussion I did this past month I’ve decided I’m going to try to do monthly discussions now as well. I’ve never been the best at coming up with discussion topics but I have a short list at the moment that I’m really excited about. Beyond that, I’m just winging it like always. š
Oh and at the beginning of the month I’ll have my blogiversary Q&A response posts up, it’ll most likely be in two or three parts. So, be on the lookout for that!

In March, even though I said I couldn’t, I deviated a bit from my TBR. *hangs head in shame* I just couldn’t get into Blood Rose Rebellion at all. This month, however, I’m so excited about my TBR. I’m finishing up the Shades of Magic books, which I’ve been loving so much, and then I’m finally going to readĀ The Night Circus. Let’s just say this fantasy binge is going strong and I don’t see it stopping anytime soon. (Also, I love how the books in my TBR for this month match color scheme wise. š)
I hope all of you guys had an incredible March full of great books and that you have an even better April! š
P.S. Only a little over a month until ACOWAR! *does happy dance*
Ā What books did you read in March? What was your favorite?Ā Did you have a good blogging month or just a good month in general?Ā What do you plan on reading in April? š

Great recap for this month Melissa. I am so beyond excited you finally got around to ADSOM, and the fact that it was your favourite book of the month is even better in my opinion! I know you’re currently reading AGOS but I am so so excited for you to finish that book so we can talk more about the story and the cliffhanger. Also I definitely can’t wait for you to get started on ACOL either! š
Your book haul is amazing, I love how you have This Savage Song on there as well, also your to-read list for next month could pretty much be a list of my top three favourite books. Obviously I feel I’ve mentioned enough time how much I love the Shades of Magic series but I also really really love The Night Circus! š
I haven’t seen Beauty and the Beast yet. I’m going with my sister in a couple of weeks and I am so excited. Everyone who’s seen it so far has said it’s amazing so my hopes are sky high!
Again great recap, and I hope you have a great blogging and reading month in April as well! š ā¤

Thanks so much, Beth!! š Cliffhanger aside, I am still kicking myself over the fact that I waited so long to read ADSOM. I’ve had it on my Kindle since the middle of last year before I knew about the AGOS cliffhanger. Makes me wish I would have read it sooner lol. I’m about 30% into AGOS at the moment so only 70% to go! I’m determined to get it finished and move onto ACOL this coming week since I have it off work. I need to ban myself from Netflix because I got distracted by this show today and where I planned to read I ended up binge watching said show instead. š
This Savage Song was one of the Kindle Daily Deals this month so I couldn’t pass it up since I plan on reading it later this year. And you definitely influenced my TBR for this month. After your review for TNC I knew I was going to have to finally read it this month because it sounds so incredible and I’ve been putting it off for years.
And I so hope you end up enjoying Beauty and the Beast when you go see it! It really was amazing and Emma as Belle was perfect. You’re gonna have to let me know what you think after you see it!
I hope you have a great reading and blogging month in April too! šā„

That’s all right. š ā¤ Ahh we all have series like that. I guess if you don't discover them until late you do then wonder why it took you so long to get around to them. There's likely always been something else you've wanted to get around to first. Still at least you've got around to it now and you won't have to wait through the cliffhanger until the third book because trust me you'll understand once you've finished AGOS why that was torture.
Ohh, what show are you watching?
I wouldn't have been able to resist that then either. But at least now you have it and can get started on it whenever. I hope you enjoy This Savage Song as much as I did Melissa, and oh that's great about The Night Circus. I'm going to be really really excited to see your review for that one!

Yesssss ADSOM!! Such an amazing book, I’m so glad you loved it and I can’t wait to see what you think of the rest of the series! AGOS is so so great. ā¤ I know you must've heard tons about the nororious cliffhanger, of course. š I can guarantee you'll love AGOS ahah. And I adore your TBR! ACOL is a great conclusion to the series (basically all the feels!!) and The Night Circus is such a great book as well, I loved it. Beauty and the Beast is amazing!! I loved the movie so so so much, it was definitely the highlight for me as well, honestly. ā¤ Lovely recap!

I actually only have 20% left in AGOS at the moment and am loving it! Seriously, anxious for the cliffhanger though because I have heard a lot about it LOL. I have a feeling I’ll want to dive straight into ACOL even though I’ll have to pause to write a review.
Glad to hear you enjoyed Beauty and the Beast too! It was seriously such a perfect movie. I want to go see it again!
Thanks so much, Analee!! šš
