Hi my lovely bookworms!

Yet again, I failed my TBR in the month of February *sigh* and I’m not doing much better in the month of March either.

In February I only managed to read one book:

never-never-james-patterson

Add to Goodreads | Read Review
Buy from Amazon

I also DNFd one book:

the light between oceansI was listening to the audiobook version of this book, I just couldn’t get into it, and the narrator had such a monotone voice, it was boring me a bit..I think that is why I wasn’t able to get into it..the story itself was alright. I might try to read the actual book, see how I go with that..

March TBR

I have only just begun Behind Closed Doors out of these ones – I am 77% done with it –  they were the ones I was meant to read in February, but they have turned into my March reads.

My March Audiobook:

He will be my ruin

I am 90% done with this one, with only just over an hour to go, so expect my review in the coming days!

There are 18 days left in this month, therefore I have that long to finish off the end of these two that I am currently reading, and complete the three extras..I don’t know if I can do it, especially with study to do as well, but I will do my absolute best!

What are you all reading this month? is your progress going better than mine? I would love to hear about it all!

Until next time,
Happy reading!

Library Book Haul | January 2018

Hi book lovers!
Today I thought that I would share my book haul from the library for this month! I know the month isn’t over yet, but I am not allowing myself to go and get more books this month (you will see why in a minute!) so I thought I would show you all now!
Here are my books borrowed from the library for the month of January…

Ragdoll by Daniel Cole: This one I got through Netgalley ages ago but I never sent it through to my kindle so I never got to read it..I reserved it from the library to finally give it a go as the plot sounds really good!
The Dressmaker by Rosalie Ham: This one has since been returned to the library unfinished, it is my only DNF so far this month, I just couldn’t get into the story or invested in the characters so I gave up..
The Real Mrs. Brown by Brian Beacom: This one I came across randomly while I was looking for something else..I enjoy watching the show Mrs. Brown’s Boys, so I thought I would give the biography a go, I think he has a really interesting story about how he became Mrs. Brown. Hopefully it is a good read.

A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hossein: This one has been all over my feeds everywhere..while I was perusing the shelves, there it was, so I picked it up. Its not the usual thing I read, but I have seen some good reviews, so I will give it a go..I hope that I am pleasantly surprised by it 🙂
Behind Closed Doors by B. A. Paris: This one has been on my TBR for the longest time, I reserved it to be my February book for the Library Love Challenge so I think I will keep it for my first read of next month.
Never Never by James Patterson & Candice Fox: This one has also been on my TBR for ages..I found it while looking through the shelves so I had to take it home!
Panic by Lauren Oliver: This one grabbed my attention while I was walking around the library, I read the synopsis, and thought it sounded pretty interesting, who knows?

____________________________________________________________________

Did you borrow any books from the library this month?? Have you read any of the ones that I have mentioned??
I would love to hear your comments and opinions! Leave me a comment in the box below!

Until next time, happy reading!

Books Read in March:

Out of the books that I read during the month of March, my favourites would have to be Forbidden Dance by Deanna Roy and The Pale Dreamer by Samantha Shannon. I finished them both pretty quickly, and I am really excited to continue both of the series’ that they are part of!
My least favourite would have to be The Horse’s Arse by Laura Gascoigne, I just found it really difficult to get into.
To read any of my reviews, just click on the cover images!

All of the books that I read were for blog tours. I didn’t get to read any books off of my TBR during the month which makes me a little sad, and April looks like it is going to be just as busy but we will see how we go 🙂
