Well, I got one done this month! I really enjoyed The Angel Maker 4★ for me
my Angel Maker review Now reading The Soulmate, Red Queen, and about to start The Ferryman.
Hopefully, I'll get through them quickly because I've added 3 widgets. The newest addition is the audio of Wonderland by Jennifer Hillier.
Finished and reviewed my first one of the year.
I have finished 2 and added 2 so far this monthThe Last Folk Hero: The Life and Myth of Bo Jackson - Soooo long, boring and tedious. Super disappointed because I loved watching him play. I literally could NOT give it more than 1 star it was so bad.
The Soulmate - JUICY! 4 stars

Wonderland - spooky cover!

MARCH READING ~
Woot! I finished
and brought my ratio up to 96%. I'm sure it won't stay there long, but for the moment I'm happy about it. my Soulmate review
I'm up to four read this month. I have discovered that reading on my phone isn't so bad.
Maritza wrote: "I'm up to four read this month. I have discovered that reading on my phone isn't so bad."I've read two but need to write reviews. I also have found that reading on my phone helps when I am really busy.
I agree. Reading on my phone is very convenient. I will usually resort to that when I'm waiting for an appointment or something similar and don't have my Kindle with me. I like it because my phone is so light and I always have it with me, but I really dislike the tiny print. Still... quite convenient.
I have gotten behind on my Net Galley reading and Reviews. Trying to catch up. Also, trying to stick with not putting in for any new books until I finish these. Otherwise, the publishing date is always fast approaching or lately has passed. March Net Galley Challenge

I had a great month. I read 5 and added 4.
I ended with 12 on the shelf and a 92% FR.

Finished one more. Will update stats later
Looks like I won't finish my current NG book until tomorrow, so I am done for the month. My ratio didn't change, but I have a couple less books on my shelf so I'm pretty happy with my progress. Hoping to catch up a couple more that are post-publication next month. Beginning of Month:
