Mar 2026 Wrap Up

---

Reading Progress

I got quite a bit done this month. I had three ARC reads this month with two more that are due mid April. I am not sure how I signed up to be approved for that many at once. But I’m almost caught up. I also read a couple nonfictions and that’s not normally my go-to genre. 

This was another month full of romantasy and I really enjoyed the books that I read overall this month!

Favorite Book of the Month

My favorite book this month was easily Alchemised. I was so sucked in. I started with the audiobook and could not believe it was a 36+ hour listen. I listened to just under 12 hrs of it and finished the remainder on Kindle because I needed to know what was happening. This was another 4 am realization that I had to put it down and take a break. Once I finished, I just felt like I needed more. I wanted more from the characters that I’ve come to love so much. Especially knowing who they were based on. I now understand why everyone loved Manacled so much!
