How is everyone? I hope you're all doing well under the circumstances. March was a tough month not only for me, but for everyone around the world, I presume.
The things that are going on right now really got to me. I've been feeling very down and my anxiety is bubbling just under the surface. Fun times. All of this just killed my mood to read. I was doing SO well in January (10 books read) and February (15 books read), but this month? Oh, you just wait and see...
Books read this month:
3 books. That's it. This is such a major drop off compared to the numbers I got the last two months. And okay, yeah, I get into reading slumps every once in a while, but this time I actually know WHY I fell into a reading slump and I can pinpoint WHEN it started almost exactly. The why is pretty obvious, it just takes a glance at the news to figure it out. The WHEN actually started around the time of reading Crush the King. I finished this book on March 5th then I moved onto The Cheater. You know I love reading Fear Street. One of the reasons being how short they are. I typically finish a Fear Street book in literally a day, but this one took me THREE days. That is insane! It's extremely short but I just wasn't feeling it. I eventually finished it and started on another book that I am still in the middle of. I'm gonna be honest, I haven't read a page in WEEKS.
Favorite book of the month:
I love all Jennifer Estep books so I really enjoyed this one. It was also the last book in the series and I overall really liked how it wrapped up.
Least favorite book of the month:
Fear Street books are often hit or miss, and this one was kinda a miss. I did not like the main character at all, but I also think my overall mood throughout this month affected my enjoyment of reading 😩

ReplyDeleteHappy April, stay safe!
Right? Thanks girl, you too!
DeleteI had a horrible reading month too. I didn't get any reading done because of the craziness that was going on. I hope everyone stays safe!

Yeah, I've been noticing that trend around. I think I've finally gotten out of the funk... I finally finished a book today! Still not feeling great, emotional wise, but I'm getting there.
DeleteI had a really hard time reading in March too. I've done a little better this month, though. I guess I'm getting a little used to surreal?

That's good to hear! I am definitely not getting used to things. At least not yet.
DeleteI had a difficult time reading too at first, until I got into a routine. Sometimes the anxiety comes back and I have to start over again. I know how much you love Estep's books as well as Stine's. I hope your April is going better.
ReplyDeleteThat's great! This week I started on a routine too of reading at least one chapter every night, and that's been helping. I finally finished the book today, sooo progress? Lol.
