March 2017 Recap

Hello, friends! Happy April Fool's Day! I hope you haven't been pranked too much so far today, LOL. Shelf Awareness sent out a hilarious April Fool's e-newsletter that included a "release date" for George R.R. Martin's much anticipated The Winds of Winter. It actually had me tricked for a second until I realized what today was. Well done, Shelf Awareness. Well done, indeed.

Whenever I put together a monthly recap post, I like to look back at what I wrote for that month the previous year. I was a little dismayed to find that in March 2016, I was in a reading and blogging slump. That about sums up March 2017, except my current reading slump is really, really, really bad right now. Most of the books I've read so far this year have been duds; I'm still searching for what's proving to be the elusive slump-breaker. I'm not too far behind my Goodreads challenge (yet), which is surprising because it's been taking me forever to get through a single book.

On a much happier note, Game of Thrones Season 7 has a premiere date! My ass will be parked on the couch in front of the TV on July 16. And here's a rather chilling trailer for you:

    1. The "news stories" in it were very clever! They definitely got me with the new George R.R. Martin book! XD

  2. Happy (belated) birthday to Fred and George too ♥ I certainly hope you can shake off your slump my friend. Maybe we should buddy read ACoL? I'm worried you'd finish WAY before me though since I haven't finished a physical book since NOVEMBER O.O (Thank the library for audiobooks!) Here's to a wonderful and hopefully slump-free April Lee ♥♥♥♥

    1. I hope the same for you in April! ♥ Man, we're going through some tough reading times right now, aren't we? I'd love to do a buddy read of ACoL with you!!! :D I think it would be just the thing to break us out of this rut. And no worries about reading speed! I'm reading suuuper sloooow because of having so little time left over at the end of the day to get any reading done. :/

  3. That Winds of Winter prank, like seriously!!!! So many hearts must have shattered over that one, LOL. I’ve been in a reading/blogging slump myself lately, although things do seem to be getting a bit better. I’ve been reading lots of comics and graphic novels, which I feel really helped get me out of my reading slump. Also, I loved that GoT trailer. But I need moooore!

    1. Comics and graphic novels are perfect for a change of pace! The fake Winds of Winter news was so cruel!!!! And as much as I loved the GoT trailer, it was way too short! XD
