wrapup – Book Dust Magic

March Wrap Up and Book Haul

Here, I am, posting my monthly wrap up late again, but better late the never, right? 🙂

In month of March I read 10 book, which is amazing for me because I usually read around 7 books per month.
Some of books I read were pretty short so that is probably the reason why I managed to read 10.

Here are the books I read in March: (clicks on covers will lead you to my reviews)

#hidingReadAThon Wrap Up

As you probably already know, this Easter weekend lovely Annika from Hiding in Books hosted a read-a-thon simply called #hidingReadAThon.

Rules were pretty simple, we were our own bosses and had to read as much as we wanted to to kill some time over Easter break.

When it comes to writing, I will be the first to admit I failed badly and the only thing I wrote were tweets.
Every spare time I tried to spend reading, but I promised to myself that I will do my best to do more blog hopping and leave blog and GR comments this week.
I know I have been a pretty shitty member of blogging (and bookish in general) community lately and it is about time to change it once and for all!

But now, let’s get to my read-a-thon wrap up:

Firstly, I want to phrase my reading buddy Trunchy who rooted for me most of the time I spent reading:

trunchy

Even though she was sleeping most of the time, her purring was the best music background I needed for my reading atmosphere.

I happened to finish two books from my tbr:

Blogger Girl was a buddy read I did on twitter (with my blogger friend Amanda from ChocolatePages, and I enjoyed discussions we had). You can expect my review for it soon.

My Map of You was maybe the best book I read this month and review for it will go live on it’s releasing day, April 21st).

I also started a new book:

The Smell of Other People’s Houses is a historical fiction. It is pretty short (240 pages). I am half way trough it and am pretty sure I’ll be finishing this one tonight. You can expect my review for it on April 7th, because that is a relesing date of the edition I got from the publisher (SPOILER ALERT: I plan to post my review on Goodreads tomorrow).

Overall, when it comes to reading I am pretty satisfied with an amount of pages I read (even though I didn’t count), I managed to finish (almost) three books.

One book I didn’t get to finish, the one called No Place To Hide, I do plan to finish before the month is over so you can expect my review for it pretty soon too.

However, I am not happy with my lacking when it comes to blog hopping and commenting, but I will correct that from tomorrow on.
I have to.

My very late February Wrap Up + Book Haul

I know, I know… It’s already 10th in the month, and I still haven’t posted my February Wrap Up.

I have no excuses, at least not good ones.
I was away from home and wasn’t smart enough to scedule my blog posts prior to my trip.
That is also the reason why I’ve been MIA for more then a week now and why I wasn’t so active in blogosphere either.

Next time, I’ll be better and smarter, I promise!

Now to the wrap up and haul…

In month of February I read 7 books: 5 novels, 1 short story and 1 graphic novel.
