March 2025 TBR

Update for last month: I'm terrible at sticking with my TBR. I finally finished the Kindle book that I started in January and have moved onto another that I just am struggling to get through. I have listened to tons of audiobooks so I did finish 18 books and DNF'd 1 book in February. I have 3 books remaining of the 4 books on my TBR.

Goals for this month: In March, I am continuing with my new TBR prompts: high priority, Netgalley, older hauled, and newer hauled. I think I may have slightly more success this month because 2 are romance and one is a middle grade book.

My TBR for March:

• The Midnight Orchestra by Jessica Khoury (Physical)
• Rebel in the Deep by Katee Robert (Kindle)
• The Reader by M.K. Harkins (Kindle)
• Hot Vampire Next Door by Nikki St. Crowe (Kindle)
  

What are you planning on reading in March?

January 2025 Book Haul

It's my first haul of 2025 and my hope was to not haul so many books, but then the library happened. To be the most fair, I have read almost all of them. Of the 17 books hauled in January, 2 remain unread - meaning my read percentage is 88%. That's pretty awesome. 

In January, I spent $36 total (including Audible subscription) and saved $275.04 by using my local library.
