I have to say March is a month I added more books to my shelves than I was expecting. To be honest I forget it was that much. I’m kind of scared to see how many I’ve read, haha. Let’s take a look anyways!
Heartbreak Cafe – Janet Quin-Harkin
Unread
I received this series from the publisher and did start the first book, but got distracted. This still does interest me I just haven’t gotten to them yet. Hopefully I can read them soon.
Ironsprak – C.M. McGuire
Read
Ironspark was a book TBR and Beyond Tours hosted a tour for and I eventually got a physical ARC. I had already read my e-arc, but I still loved adding this one to my shelves.
Chasing Starlight – Teri Bailey Black
Read
Just like Ironspark I ended up getting a physical ARC of. Chasing Starlight is a historical mystery that takes place in the Golden Age of Hollywood. This book was really good.
Something Happened to Ali Greenleaf – Hayley Krischer
Read
This is the third book I got because of tours. Something Happened to Ali Greenleaf was a really intense story, but it was one I feel is important. Definitely look up triggers before reading this one.
Nightbooks – J.A. White
Read
Nightbooks was such a spooky middle grade book, but it was amazing! I know this is now a Netflix movie and I really need to see it.
The Last Spell Breather – Julie Pike
Read
The cover of this book is so pretty and I loved the whole idea of spell breathing. Unfortunately, the story wasn’t as good as I was expecting. It just wasn’t executed like I thought it would be.
A Song of Wraiths and Ruin – Roseanne A. Brown
Read
The cover of this book is stunning as well as the story. It had me hooked from the start and this makes me remember that I really need to read the sequel.
In Love & Pajamas: A Collection of Comics about Being Yourself Together – Catana Chetwynd
Read
A year later I still love Catana Comics and keep track of them on Instagram. The comics are so relatable and just leave you with a smile on your face.
This is Not the Jess Show – Anna Carey
Read
The whole idea of This is Not the Jess Show was so interesting. I mean finding out that your whole life is basically staged is quite intense. This book was really interesting to read, but I have to say I didn’t completely like the turn of events near the end. I am curious enough that I want to read the next book releasing this year.
The Bone Shard Daughter – Andrea Stewart
Unread
The Bone Shard Daughter is a fantasy I hear nothing but amazing things about, so I really want to read it. I know the third book still has to be released and I have a feeling this is the type of series you want to read back to back. So I may just wait for that release.
Perfect on Paper – Sophie Gonzales
Unread
Perfect on Paper is a book I’m really surprised I haven’t read yet. I loved Only Mostly Devastated and Perfect on Paper sounds amazing. I know Isabelle really loved this one, so I’ll have to give it a go soon.
Chain of Iron – Cassandra Clare
Unread
I’ve actually talked about the first book in this series quite often lately on the blog. I love the Shadowhunter world and was so excited for this trilogy. Why I haven’t started it yet is beyond me. I really need to read these two soon.
Covet – Tracy Wolff
Read
Crave is still a series that’s so addicting. I just can’t stop reading. I’ve even read Covet twice. This is one I read in April of last year I believe and I read it again last month. I had to after not remember much when I started the fourth book in the series.
End Result:
Read: 9/18 – 50%
TBR: 9/18 – 50%

I remember getting some books for my birthday last year and I’m really scared I didn’t read them haha. After checking the bookhaul from last year I realised some of the books didn’t arrive until April so I guess I have another month to pick those books up haha.
Cursed – Frank Miller & Thomas Wheeler
unread
This book is so heavy! But also gorgeous. Unfortunately I haven’t read it yet. It’s pretty big but I am definitely interested in the story. I watch the first episode of the tv show adaptation and did enjoy that. So I guess I should get to it soon haha.
The Ancient Magus’ Bride 2 – Kore Yamazaki
read
This manga has such an interesting world! I would love to binge a ton of volumes in this series but unfortunately I don’t have any unread volumes at the moment. This is definitely a series I want to continue though!
The Umbrella Academy vol. 1 & 2 – Gerard Way & Gabriel Ba
read
I actually like the tv show a lot better to be honest. While this was enjoyable, it was also a bit messy and I wasn’t completely sure what was going on at times. The art wasn’t exactly my taste and I guess this one just wasn’t for me. I will just keep on enjoying the tv show!
End Result:
Read: 3/4 – 75%
TBR: 1/4–25 %
So those are the books we added to our shelves last year. Have you read any of them? Let us know in the comments. We’d love to hear from you!
