March Wrap Up & April TBR (2019) // Reading slump and hell weeks, but at least April is finally here!!!!!

Ah March. Reading slump and hell weeks of countless assignments and presentation. What could’ve gone wrong, right?

1. OPPOSITE OF ALWAYS by Justin A. Reynolds {e-ARC} // ✰✰✰
2. THE DATING GAME by Kiley Roache {e-ARC} // ✰✰✰✰.5
3. THE NOWHERE GIRLS by Amy Reed // ✰✰✰✰✰ – Review to come!

While I did enjoyed all the books I read in March, this got to be my lowest reading record in some time. At least when I had a reading slump, I still read fanfictions or novella. This time, I just didn’t read anything and I don’t know how I feel about that 🙍 I am currently reading other two books, which are Daughters of the Nile by Stephanie Dray and The Cold is in Her Bones by Peternelle van Arsdale. While I enjoyed both of them, it’s taking me so long and with exams coming up, I’m getting frustrated with myself for not being able to read them 🤦

April is going to be a busy month for me too, but when I saw Aimal’s sign up post for #UnsolvedAThon, I can’t help myself!

#UnsolvedAThon is created by Laura @ The Book Corps and I’m going to follow Shane’s path this time!

3. The Haunting of the Salem Witch Trials (Read a book involving witches) – LABYRINTH LOST by Zoraia Cordova

10. The Treacherous Treasure Hunt of Forrest Fenn (Read a book involving an adventure or quest) – NOCTURNA by Maya Montayne

Since it also coincides with another edition of Magical Readathon, I also decided to participate in it! I tried to join in December, but I failed terribly 😅 I hope it will be better this time though! As we can choose our own career path, I decided to follow Journalist as a) I always wanted to be one and b) it’s the only one that fits my timeline and TBR.

1. Muggle Studies (Contemporary) – LOVE AND OTHER CURSES by Michael Thomas Ford
2. History of Magic (Published at least 10 years ago) – GOOD OMENS by Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman

Not much happened in March, but the false sense of relaxation and security in February really screwed me up. I can’t even remember what happened this month, it felt like a blur of hell weeks! With exams starting today and will go on until next Wednesday, it seems like the tiredness will never stop 😭😭😭
