March 2021 Wrap-Up

Welcome back, bookish friends! I read a lot in March, 15 books, and I’m so happy with it. And I received an ARC for a blog tour and I really enjoyed it. You should see that post up in May. And I celebrated my birthday this month, so that was fun. Also, isn’t it crazy to say that a quarter of 2021 has passed?

• I’m so excited for the Shadow and Bone TV Show, it’s only a couple weeks away.
• I watched the last episode of WandaVision, and I am a mess. I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS.

• I rewatched Julie and the Phantoms because why not? And some more gifs:

Also, The Aurora Cycle #3 has a cover and title.

It’s FIN. ON the COVER. And what do you mean by Aurora’s . . . END? I’m scared. I have a theory that I am so scared is going to come true. I don’t want to give any spoilers away, so I’m not gonna say much, except . . . those things in the background remind me of the end of book 1. And Fin is WITH those things. And after what happened with ___ . . .

Think about that.

Fans of the books, talk to me about this.
