March was a very fun month for reading! I feel like I got a bunch done (even though I had a bit of a lull in there and some books that weren’t so great) but looking back, I feel very satisfied with what I read this month! I also had a couple blog events so that was a ton of fun too!
- Number of Books Read In March: 8! I had a couple of novellas in there but hey, I’ll take it!
- Popular Search Terms: “which lunar chronicles character are you” // “books similar to if I stay” // “books like the fault in our stars” // “otsp secret sister” // “we were liars discussion questions”
- More Amusing Search Terms: “playlist de eleanor y park” (YAY espanol!) // “summary of cendrillon charles perrault” (Autocorrect at work?) // “anna and the french kiss passage when st clair spent the night” (dreamy sighhhhh)
- Most Referrals (non-social media): There Were Books Involved, Rather Be Reading, The Broke and the Bookish
- Where My Blog Most Often Leads You (non-internal/social media): Books Take You Places, Andi’s ABCs, Bookmark Lit
- Once again, my “Guide” to Crossover books was in the top of my stats! Hooray! This is one of my favorites.
- Shout outs for other top hits, Which Lunar Chronicles Character Are You? and The Best-Friend-Turned-Boyfriend Romance
- I had a blast with a Young Adult Meets Friends post, mashing up YA books and one of my favorite TV shows!
Other Reviews Posted
- I binge-read as much as I could of the Reckoners series by Brandon Sanderson back-to-back! I reviewed Steelheart, Mitosis, and Firefight!
- The Unremembered trilogy came to a close… and I really liked how Unchanged wrapped it up!
- I’ll Meet You There really was a special book! I finished it in one afternoon!
- My audio re-read of the Harry Potter series finally came to an end! Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows wrapped it up
- I read American Gods with my OTSP gals and had a great time reading it!
- I fell out of love with the Something Strange and Deadly trilogy and was so sad about my read of Strange and Ever After

Great month! I am so jealous of your collections, so awesome!

Looks like you have had a great month! And a great year. It’s awesome that you have only given one one star rating this year.
I LOVE your Lunar Chronicles shelf! What an awesome blogging month 🙂 Your themed OTSPSecretSIster packages is sooo cute, I have not read the series yet but I love the bright colors!
Wow! You sure did A LOT in March 😀
