We’re halfway through April, and I still haven’t posted my March wrap-up yet. *Hangs head in shame while being carted off to bloggers’ jail.* March saw me reading a bit of everything: from romantic comedy to contemporary fiction; one star books to five-star reads. I also tried to stick with my 2017 Reading Goals. It’s time for another Reading Goals checkup, but first here’s a list books reviewed in March 2017.

Reading Goals: March Update
How have I been doing with my 2017 Reading Goals? You tell me.
- DNF without guilt.
There were a couple books that I rated poorly, but I didn’t have a problem finishing anything.
- Have more variety.
I ventured away from romance altogether with The Feathered Bone by Julie Cantrell. It’s a mystery that deals with some heavy subject matter.
- Give new authors a chance.
The Feathered Bone (see above) is the first book I’ve read by Julie Cantrell. Unfortunately, it was a miss for me. I listened to the audiobook version, and the unexpressive narration did nothing to win me over. My search for a new author to love continues.
- Go on an ARC diet.
Someone forced me to read eight ARCs in March. Hey, no judging! That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
- Meet or exceed my Goodreads Reading Challenge.
With 31 books read so far this year, I’m three books ahead of schedule. Yay me!
Happy reading, everyone!
What meanie forced those ARCs on you? ??
Peer pressure among bloggers is a real thing, Tijuana!! 🙂
I know! ?
