March 2018 Wrap-Up: Books and Reading

Ye Grande Olde TBR(e) Challenge Update

I started March with 205 unread books sitting around my house. And I ended with … *drumroll* …204! March was a pretty good month, reading-wise, although only one of the books I read was off my TBR shelf. I got the chance to take a short vacation this month, so travel time always helps with the reading. Plus I’m in the middle of quite a lot of books (more than usual, anyways), so I should be able to knock out a fair few in April.

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

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

Audiobooks – The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill* (review coming soon)
E-books – The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller * (review coming soon)
Read But Not Owned (Books) – As the Crow Flies by Melanie Gillman – The Grave’s a Fine and Private Place by Alan Bradley – Pashmina by Nidhi Chanani – Wires and Nerve, Vol. 1 by Marissa Meyer – Wires and Nerve, Vol. 2: Gone Rogue by Marissa Meyer (reviews coming soon)
Re-Reads – Lock In by John Scalzi

Changes to the TBR pile

Read from my TBR pile (huzzah!) – Longbourn by Jo Baker (review coming soon)

Added to my eTBR pile (non-storage-space-related shame!)
– H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald	– In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto by Michael Pollan
– I Know I Am, But What Are You? by Samantha Bee	– The Power by Naomi Alderman
* Pursuant to the discussion on this post, I’ve decided to create an eTBR pile for e-books and audiobooks that I accept for review or 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.
