Monthly Musings – March 2017

This is a where I look back at what I read (or tried to read) during the past month. I also plan on highlighting my experiences in any book club reads I from the month as well. I will always start with any books I would label as a surprise find/under-read books so if anyone missed my reviews for them, and don’t make it to the end of this post, they’ll be easy to find.

Another month down. I feel like I started this month out stronger than I ended, but I only posted 4 reviews, which is less than I would like. I also feel like I need to start copy and pasting my “WHERE DID THE MONTH GO” statement as I seem to want to say it every. single. month.

One fun thing this month, is Tough Traveling is back! Laura is reviving it over at Fantasy Faction and it will be a monthly feature. The first post there was a nice collaborative effort on BEGINNINGS (so appropriate!), featuring one choice from a number of blogs, mine included. Definitely check it out! And join in 🙂 Next month will be ASSASSINS!

Reddit Fantasy BINGO – Bingo always starts in April, so here is my completed card for March, as well as the new card for this year. If you are interested, I posted some information about the new Reddit Fantasy Bingo card over the weekend. Short story: This is the funnest reading challenge I’ve participated in.
