I’m a posting my monthly wrap up a little later than I usually would as I’ve felt a bit fatigued by… well, everything this past week and needed to take a bit of a break from blogging. That said, it’s been a pleasant month overall. There’s been a real hint of spring with a few nice days here and there, and I’m so happy that the evenings are now lighter than they were.

I took part in the cover reveal for Babes in the Wood by Mark Stay, the second novel in the Witches of Woodville series. I loved the first in the series (The Crow Folk) and I love the style of these covers and I can’t wait to read Babes in the Wood.
Incoming!
These are the books I received for review this month:
And the books I bought:

TBR Watch 🕵🏻♀️
March was a better month in terms of TBR reduction, although that’s partly because I culled a few books that I don’t really fancy now:
- Books out = 9 read + 3 DNF* + 3 culled = 15
- Books in = 2 ARCs + 7 purchases = 9
- Equals a reduction of 6 in my TBR
*I may come back to some of the DNFs at a later date, but for now they have been removed from my TBR.
I haven’t bothered doing my wrap-up, I feel I need a break, but it’s hard to let go, even for a little bit of time xx
It is, but I feel better for having had a little time away. And a wrap up post felt like a relatively straightforward return! x
