Welcome to Litsy!

Here‘s my March #bookspinbingo list! A good amount of leftovers from previous months, some new additions to enjoy, all in all a mixed back of genres and formats. Now let‘s see what I actually read 🤣!

My March #bookspinbingo board!
1 bingo
2 classics (4 if you count The Godfather and the Agatha Christie)
My #bookspin and #doublespin both read
1 non-fiction
2 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reads

I‘m excited that I‘m on track for the book challenges I set at the beginning of the year after a not-great 2022. Looking forward to April!

March Reads. Most I‘ve read in 2 1/2 years. Feels good to be reading again. #marchreads

Favorites of the Month: My Body, The Space Between Worlds, The Golden Couple, Empire of Pain.

#MarchMadness2023 #BookSpinBingo #SeriesLove2023

#bookspin #doublespin #bookspinbingo

This is my starting plan for #MarchMadness, although I am sure as usual I will occasionally veer away from this list. Going freestyle so not setting a target, but would like to read at least 25 books.

But main aim is to get my reading mojo back which has really hit the buffers in the second half of February.

🍀 Goals for #MarchMadness 🍀

—clear my March #BookSpinBingo board
—finish reading the books on my January/February #BookSpinBingo boards
—clear my #BOTM backlog
—have at least 75% of my books read in March be books I own

Probably being too ambitious for a month that‘s going to be crazy, but we‘ll see. 🤷🏼‍♀️

#MarchMadness #BookSpinBingo #SeriesLove2023

These are the books I will be reading in March 2023.

Here are the Bingo Cards created for the #marchmadness readathon hosted by @andrew65 @GHABI4ROSES and @dieareader

These are the 2 optional Bingo Cards you can use to run alongside the #MarchMadness Readathon. You can use either Bingo Card, or both, & are totally optional for the Readathon but we know some of you love a good Bingo!

They have the same prompts but have different layouts. Who‘ll be the first to complete a line, or even the whole Bingo card?

Here's my March list for #bookspin #doublespin @thearomaofbooks

I still have to read my Feb #bookspin, and I have a bunch of library books not on this list, so who knows. March is mostly made up of green spines from my shelves.

My March bookspin bingo. I ended up ditching one East European for Red Notice which ended up being a 5 ⭐️ read. Looking forward to April.

And look I made a Bingo Board early 😅 for once. #bookspinbingo #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

#BookSpin #DoubleSpin #BookSpinBingo

Almost forgot to put this up😬🤫 Didn‘t get a chance to “double check” it but, I‘m hoping I left myself enough wiggle room🤞🏻

My March list. I‘ll be off this whole month so I added some chunky books to my list! #bookspin #bookspinbingo

@TheAromaofBooks

I‘ve got my March #bookspinbingo picks ready to go! Hoping to get lots of reading done next month 🤞

Woohoo 🥳 it‘s almost time for #TOB and #March #BookSpin #DoubleSpin @TheAromaofBooks
I‘m sharing my list and a photo of my two grand-pups at Joshua Tree National Park🥰

In March I finished six books and watched the movie Harriett. #wrapup

Do I spy a #bookspinbingo blackout?!! Wowie! I did read a ton this month about 50 books and I didn‘t skip any on my list for once 😂 #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

New readathon! I want to finish at least two books.

Not being too ambitious again.... as I‘m switching bookstores this month, moving to a store that needs help with some challenges!
But excited to read a new thriller, 3 March #arcs, a mustachioed audio book for #booked21 and #bookspin , my #IRL bookclub book, my #AAM and a my #doublespin is a 90s bestseller for #pop21 too 📚💕

February was not great for the fitness part, but I did okay with the books part. March brings warmer weather, longer days, and some new photo challenges. I will keep trying to hit 40K steps per week. I also want to finish seven books and the first section of These Truths. #bfc21

@TheAromaofBooks here are my #bookspin#doublespin selections for March. It‘s spring break for me this week, so maybe I will even manage to get one of them read before school starts again. 😁

Updated #BookSpin and #bookspin list, as I ended up reading a couple on my original list for March in February.

@TheAromaofBooks

I quickly made my March 2021 #bookspinbingo list at work before I forget, which is always a possibility lately 😆. Still working on finishing 2 books and 1 audiobook for my February bingo board so wish me luck!

You guys. I got to spend some time talking about the Tournament of Books with Jenny of @ReadingEnvy and now it‘s an episode of the Reading Envy Pocast: https://tinyurl.com/ReadingEnvy183. Being a guest on one of my favorite podcasts is a little surreal. I hope you enjoy it.

@BookishMe - here is March's #bookishbingo courtesy of BookishFirst.com!! Anyone else playing along this month? My goal is a bingo by the end of the month, and filling the card by February 28, 2021.

#WeeklyForecast
I thought about a monthly forecast but realized I was kidding myself...I can‘t stick to a week‘s plan, no way could I commit to a monthly plan 😜
Looking to begin my #AuthorAMonth book as well as work on some ARCs
Bookclub has been pushed off to April 1 🙏🏻 so I may hold off on Who Will Lead Us until it‘s closer to meeting date.
Excited for #BookSpin @TheAromaofBooks

I know we‘re over a week into April now, but here‘s my March Wrap-Up! I‘ve never used a book planner before, but I managed to score this Little Inklings Design one and I am in love with it. I think it‘s helping to keep me on track with my reading goals, which is huge. The breakdown is Children‘s: 1, Audios: 2, Graphic Novels: 4, Physical: 5

The only madness in my March this year was the fact that I only finished three (3) books! Between traveling with the baby for two weeks & various family commitments upon our return home from vacation, I did not get much reading time in last month. Fingers crossed that April is more productive bibliographically!

Total: three (3) books [completed]

📚🤞🏻👀
#LLreads2019

Favorite reads this month were Year of Yes, The Boy on the Wooden Box, and of course my reread of HP and the Deathly Hallows. Onward to April. I have a feeling it‘ll be a great month!

#stats #march

22 books read in March! I am happy with that! Most of the books are part of some series, so I guess I really enjoyed reading several of my fave authors! Most books were either good or great, just a few meh ones this time around 😌

Finally totaled up my March stats! 18 books, 5056 pages, 10 new to me authors, 3 previously read authors, 6 physical books, 12 ebooks, 5 five Star, 6 four star, 4 three star, and 3 two star.

March was an entirely more successful month than February: longer month? I wasn‘t sick? I didn‘t go out of town? Don‘t know. I read some really chunky books tho: The Fireman is over 600 pages, Illuminae is ~ 600 (recommend audio at the same time), and Smoke Thieves over 500.
*10 books, incl 6 ARCs, 3 group reads, and have 2 books on the go.
*1st Blog Tour Post: http://kamoorephoto.booklikes.com
*Went to Comic Com and two signings!

#marchmadnesschallenge

These are the final books. Which ones did you pick to win? Villanova/beartown is the only book/team I have in the final four.

#LMMBNYABO17

Matchup 1/1; fifth and FINAL round

In the comments, below, vote 🗳 for the number/book you want to see move on to the next round.

The goal is to see if we can guess which YA book will be the winner after five rounds. Hosted by #SHPL.

Since the library still has to tally votes for the final four and then vote on the final matchup, the winner, as voted by the library, will not be announced till 4/10/18.
