For March, I read a lot but not all the books I should have read. Yeah! For the first time, I failed my TBR game. This fail is a deliberate decision as I wasn’t in the mood to read two of the books. I genuinely try to read them; I just couldn’t, so they went back to my unread shelf, and I will try another time. So except that I read a total of 10 books, thanks to the Bookoplathon (my post about it here).
To compensate for the fact that I didn’t read all of my “compulsory” books, I will add 2 rolls to my April Olympus TBR.
Here some stats:
I still didn’t have any bonus card, even if I had a monster card, as I didn’t read the book corresponding to the card.
Here is the book I read during March with their prompts (if there is one). If you want to read a book’s review, you just need to click on the (x).
