I feel like I just wrote my February wrap-up and now it’s time to write one for March. This month passed by so quickly, lol! It was a month of travel and get-togethers but sadly, it ended with illnesses in the family. Thankfully, everyone is now well on the road to recovery but it certainly wasn’t the ending we expected, especially since we had big plans to celebrate dad’s 70th on the 30th, but couldn’t due to him being sick.

Other than that, I actually don’t have much clue what went on this month. 😂 I feel like I spent half of it getting back into the groove of things after my Japan holiday, while the other half was spent passing days at work counting down to the Eid holidays next week, which is a big deal here in Indonesia.

If any of you reading this celebrate: ✨ Eid Mubarak! ✨ I hope you have a wonderful celebration with your family and friends! 😊

I shouldn’t be but I was mildly surprised by how little I read this month. It has been my least productive reading month despite having grand plans for it. In total, I read 10 books in March and although none of them were 5-star reads, I did find a new favourite historical romance author: Grace Callaway! 😍 I can’t wait to read more of her backlist because I love her writing, characters, and very steamy & swoontastic romances!

Although I mostly read backlist books this month, I bought most of them in 2024 so I’m not counting them as part of my existing backlist. 😬 Luckily, I kept on track with my two year-long reading challenges!

✔ Project Backlist Reading Challenge: 📚 1 backlist book // 📱 1 backlist ARCs
✔ 2024 Buzzwordathon: February (positive words): The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot
✔ 2024 Year in Aeldia: February (book w/ non-human characters): Pippa and the Prince of Secrets

That’s a wrap for March 2024! How was your March? What was your favourite read and favourite moment of the month? I hope everyone’s doing well and is taking good care! 💜
