My March was not very productive. You would think with all the time off, I would have more read, but not the case.

My tally for the #MarchUnshelfing #challenge is in! I read 22 books in March, 4 of which unfortunately don‘t count as they‘re ebooks, but I also gave away to my dad 8 books and have a box of 15 more to donate to my local hospital. My top three reads of March are Angels Flight by Michael Connolly, The Guest List by Lucy Foley & Patriot Games by Tom Clancy. Honorable mention to Heartstopper coz it was so adorable♥️How‘s your March look?
What a weird month, reading-wise and otherwise. I read 22 books, 19 of which were for #MiddleGradeMarch and most happened in the last three days. I had two DNFs, both my #bookspin and #doublespin for the month. I made next to no progress on my How the Mind Works project, as I had no powers of concentration most of the month. Maybe April will be better all around. 😄🤷🏻♀️

#HCCMarchMadness begins! 64 books begin, only one can take the title! http://hccmarchmadness.ca/
Voting open to anyone, but only Canadians are eligible to win all 64 books (sorry!)
So, um, the only package that arrived today that doesn‘t contain books is the pink one! Haha
So I‘m stumped...
My team could still win #Marchmadness ...
But even if they do, I‘ll only be #9 without reading points. So LOTS of people can beat me out... if they read.
So do I keep reading my #marchmadnesschallenge picks, or do I let this one go?🤔
I might have to wait to see if Nova pulls it off. If they don‘t, I‘m out for sure.
I‘m not sure if I‘m pulling for them or not 🤣
So these are my picks that made it out of Round One. I own several, & already got some from the library. But I might have to do some subbing/swapping - some are very hard to get my hands on without buying them. And since I‘m on a book-buying ban, that won‘t work.
On to the REAL challenge 😏
#marchmadnesschallenge
Ok, @JenP ...
Now that Round 1 is done, I can/should read all my winners from this round (or suitable substitutes) to maximize additional points, correct?
#marchmadnesschallenge
Ok, @JenP ... do I HAVE these points now for good? Or do I only get them if I read all the corresponding winning books? I know we‘re not done with the games, but I‘m trying to strategize my reading. And pick up the right things from the library 😉📚🏀
Whoo hoo! Just won my first bracket 🙌🏻🏀
#marchmadnesschallenge
Here are my bracket picks for #Marchmadness
I have Beartown ... ahem... Villanova ... for the win.

@JenP
And off I go ⛹🏻♀️📚🏀
I hope to get through most of these and a few more (Kindle + some books that are on their way, + whatever I decide I'd rather read) in March. Because why be realistic when you can be enthusiastic? 😂 Although I am realistic about Ulysses. I'll still be reading that in April, and May, and so on. And Vanity Fair is an 8 week readalong. So you see, my #MarchTBR is totally doable. 😆
Once again we are hosting a March Madness bookish tournament on our blog. We‘ll be giving away several prizes to winners. Books are nominated by participants, ranked, then paired with basketball teams. Participants then create brackets and earn points by how well their book/team does over the tournament.
