March 2014 Wrap-Up: Books and Reviews

Ye Grande Olde TBR(e) Challenge Update

I started March with 262 unread books sitting around my house. And I ended with … *drumroll* …261! This month, you guys! (I know I said the same thing last month, so I guess: This year, you guys!) I got some decent reading done over spring break but the rest of the month has been a whole lot of nothing – I’ve had trouble even finding the time to get through graphic novels. And I don’t know that April is going to be much better, with all of the end-of-semester craziness. But here’s hoping!

…anyways, let’s take a look at the breakdown:

Neutral books – Read, but don’t affect the TBR pile

Read But Not Owned (Books) – Heads in Beds: A Reckless Memoir of Hotels, Hustles, and So-Called Hospitality by Jacob Tomsky
Read But Not Owned (Graphic Novels) – Ex Machina, Vol. 1: The First Hundred Days by Brian K. Vaughan – Castle Waiting, Volume II by Linda Medley – Freshman: Tales of 9th Grade Obsessions, Revelations, and Other Nonsense by Corinne Mucha – Monster on the Hill by Rob Harrell
Re-Reads – Komarr by Lois McMaster Bujold – Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J. K. Rowling – A Civil Campaign by Lois McMaster Bujold

Changes to the TBR pile

Read from my TBR pile (huzzah!) – Bloodshot by Cherie Priest – The Privilege of the Sword by Cherie Priest
Added and then read (um… huzzah?) – The Mincing Mockingbird’s Guide to Troubled Birds by Matt Adrian

Added to my TBR pile (all-around shame!)
– The Quick by Lauren Owen
Non-TBR acquisitions (storage-space-related shame!)
– Saga, Vol. 1 by Brian K. Vaughan	– Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver
Added to my eTBR pile (non-storage-space-related shame!)
– The Woodcutter by Kate Danley	– Lost Things by Melissa Scott & Jo Graham
– Jumper by Steven Gould	– The Happiest Days of Our Livesby Wil Wheaton
– To Be or Not To Be by Ryan North	– Arcanum 101: Welcome New Students by Mercedes Lackey & Rosemary Edghill
– The God Engines by John Scalzi	– Bleeding Violet by Dia Reeves
– Mogworld by Yahtzee Croshaw	* Pursuant to the discussion on this post, I’ve decided to create an eTBR pile for e-books for which I actually pay money. I’m not adding them into my total TBR numbers, but I have to fess up about them somewhere. Keeps me honest.
