My March #bookspinbingo board!

March Reads. Most I‘ve read in 2 1/2 years. Feels good to be reading again. #marchreads

Favorites of the Month: My Body, The Space Between Worlds, The Golden Couple, Empire of Pain.

Kristy_K @CoverToCoverGirl I know! It made me angry and sad that the greed of a family could cause an epidemic. 13mo

This is my starting plan for #MarchMadness, although I am sure as usual I will occasionally veer away from this list. Going freestyle so not setting a target, but would like to read at least 25 books.

But main aim is to get my reading mojo back which has really hit the buffers in the second half of February.

🍀 Goals for #MarchMadness 🍀

—clear my March #BookSpinBingo board
—finish reading the books on my January/February #BookSpinBingo boards
—clear my #BOTM backlog
—have at least 75% of my books read in March be books I own

Probably being too ambitious for a month that‘s going to be crazy, but we‘ll see. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Andrew65 Great goals, especially the last one. I need to do that more! Good luck 😁 14mo
DieAReader Wow those are awesome goals! I can‘t wait to see all your updates!🤓📚💜 Good luck & have a great time💜 14mo

These are the 2 optional Bingo Cards you can use to run alongside the #MarchMadness Readathon. You can use either Bingo Card, or both, & are totally optional for the Readathon but we know some of you love a good Bingo!

They have the same prompts but have different layouts. Who‘ll be the first to complete a line, or even the whole Bingo card?

Andrew65 If you want taking off this tagging list or added to it then please do let me know. 😁 14mo
TheAromaofBooks I'm such a sucker for bingo!! 14mo
TheSpineView Since I am a mood reader it is difficult to get h8ngos. However, I'll try my best. 14mo
AnnR I already chose and saved one version, while trying to be strategic about it. A few prompts will be very challenging. 😬🌞😉 14mo
Andrew65 @TheSpineView I‘m the same I read books and then see if they fit 😂 14mo
Andrew65 @Ann_Reads Yes some quick wins, but others that will be more challenging. 14mo

Allylu @Andrew65 LOL 14mo
julieclair I love the idea of 2 cards with the same prompts and different layouts! Seems like that will double my chances to get a bingo. 😃 14mo
Andrew65 @julieclair Definitely should do. 14mo
AnnR @Andrew65 For the bingo card prompts, does a book need to be read entirely during March, or is it okay to count a book that we started reading in February? 14mo
Andrew65 @Ann_Reads Any book that is finished during March counts whenever it was started 😁 So if you started it this month that is fine. 14mo
AnnR @Andrew65 Great!👍Thank you. 🙂 14mo
Crazeedi I am not committing but I took a screenshot and I'll see what happens!! 14mo
LibrarianRyan Im late to the game, but I'm in. 14mo

But excited to read a new thriller, 3 March #arcs, a mustachioed audio book for #booked21 and #bookspin , my #IRL bookclub book, my #AAM and a my #doublespin is a 90s bestseller for #pop21 too 📚💕

February was not great for the fitness part, but I did okay with the books part. March brings warmer weather, longer days, and some new photo challenges. I will keep trying to hit 40K steps per week. I also want to finish seven books and the first section of These Truths. #bfc21

@BookishMe - here is March's #bookishbingo courtesy of BookishFirst.com!! Anyone else playing along this month? My goal is a bingo by the end of the month, and filling the card by February 28, 2021.

BookishMe Great! Thanks so much for sharing.. I LIKE your timeline to complete the bingo 👍🏽👍🏽 I will be happy to complete only a row 😄😄 4y
TheAromaofBooks @BookishMe - Taking my time means that I get a lot more of them checked off just from reading books I was going to read anyway, instead of spending time trying to find books to fit the prompts!! 4y
BookishMe @TheAromaofBooks you're so right about finding book for prompts. While that has certainly widened my reading horizons (and distracting me from TBR ;)) it's always fulfilling to tick planned reads. 2 titles already came to mind when I saw this bingo, so excited to get to the books on my list 😊😀 4y

#WeeklyForecast
I thought about a monthly forecast but realized I was kidding myself...I can‘t stick to a week‘s plan, no way could I commit to a monthly plan 😜
Looking to begin my #AuthorAMonth book as well as work on some ARCs
Bookclub has been pushed off to April 1 🙏🏻 so I may hold off on Who Will Lead Us until it‘s closer to meeting date.
Excited for #BookSpin @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Ah yes, what number will the #BookSpin fates grant us?? Tomorrow will tell!! 😂 4y

I know we‘re over a week into April now, but here‘s my March Wrap-Up! I‘ve never used a book planner before, but I managed to score this Little Inklings Design one and I am in love with it. I think it‘s helping to keep me on track with my reading goals, which is huge. The breakdown is Children‘s: 1, Audios: 2, Graphic Novels: 4, Physical: 5

RadicalReader Seriously gorgeous penmanship 5y
vumblereads I‘ve never had a book planner before. Where did you get this one? 😃 5y
gibblr @RadicalReader Thank you 😊 @vumblereads I actually missed out ordering this one, but I bought it off someone else (two months into the year). It is super pretty and has LOTS of pages. Their website is littleinklings.ca and the 2020 planner goes on sale this fall! 5y

The only madness in my March this year was the fact that I only finished three (3) books! Between traveling with the baby for two weeks & various family commitments upon our return home from vacation, I did not get much reading time in last month. Fingers crossed that April is more productive bibliographically!

Total: three (3) books [completed]

📚🤞🏻👀

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego You did great! I read Becoming too, and it took longer than I thought I would to read. It's not really a book one devours. 💖📖 5y
lauren.lerner Autobiographies are always hard for me for some reason and always have been. Add that to the fact that it‘s really not a book you devour (so well put, thank you!!), Becoming took me significantly longer than expected, @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego, but I loved it nonetheless!! 5y

Brackets have been posted. If you want to play for prizes, make sure you fill out your basketball bracket on CBS sports. All teams are paired with books. Full instructions:

Kalalalatja @BarbaraBB that‘s too bad! I haven‘t read that many new releases the last year, so most of them are on my tbr list, so hopefully I can get to some of them 🤞 5y

jhod Ignore me - have found it! 5y

JenP @jhod great! 5y
JenP @sprainedbrain let me get back to you. I think end of April. 5y
sprainedbrain @JenP ok thank you! Should I ask about subs here or on the blog? I have two that I have read and will need to sub for (if the teams do as well as I hope). 😃 5y
JenP @sprainedbrain either place. I was having trouble logging Into Wordpress yesterday so saw your question but couldn‘t respond 5y
sprainedbrain @JenP No worries! I would like to use this book as a sub for Circe (I‘ve read both of Madeline Miller‘s books). I‘ve read that it‘s similar to Circe, and it‘s about the same length. Is it ok? 5y
sprainedbrain Also, I‘ve read Children of Blood and Bone and would like to sub this one if I can: 5y
Shadowfat @JenP I couldn't get the link to the bracket on CBS to work, it said it was expired :( 5y
JenP Send me an email with your email let address for challenge and I will email you a link. Jenlane3[at]yahoo[dot]com @Shadowfat (edited) 5y

sprainedbrain Ok thanks! one more (I think): could I substitute this one for I‘ll Be Gone in the Dark, since I‘ve read it? 5y
sprainedbrain Sorry if this has already been asked: Spring by Ali Smith is the book that goes with Duke, but it‘s not released until 4/30, which is when the reading period ends. Do we get extra time for that one? 😬 5y

BarbaraBB Niiice! I promise I‘ll be a better player next month again 😇! About the tag you used above this post, I don‘t think there will be a March Madness challenge this year since @JenP has been so busy with work and life, or have you heard differently? 😘 5y
Klou Awesome!!!! 🎉 I've enjoyed this month's TimbitTunes. Is it the same thing @Cinfhen ?? ... And I haven't done today's song. Sorry. I tried but couldn't come up with anything. 5y

March was an entirely more successful month than February: longer month? I wasn‘t sick? I didn‘t go out of town? Don‘t know. I read some really chunky books tho: The Fireman is over 600 pages, Illuminae is ~ 600 (recommend audio at the same time), and Smoke Thieves over 500.
*10 books, incl 6 ARCs, 3 group reads, and have 2 books on the go.
*1st Blog Tour Post: http://kamoorephoto.booklikes.com
*Went to Comic Com and two signings!

Matchup 1/1; fifth and FINAL round

In the comments, below, vote 🗳 for the number/book you want to see move on to the next round.

The goal is to see if we can guess which YA book will be the winner after five rounds. Hosted by #SHPL.

Since the library still has to tally votes for the final four and then vote on the final matchup, the winner, as voted by the library, will not be announced till 4/10/18.
