Hi y’all! Long time, no see! I moved a couple weeks ago so things have been hectic- so much packing, and still getting settled; we’re staying with family while apartment and job hunting. So to say I’ve been a little stressed the past month would be an understatement haha but things are falling into place! It’s so nice to be near our families again ❤ I also wasn’t reading much, and if I don’t read I don’t have content for the blog obviously. But now that I’ve taken an (impromptu) break I feel more refreshed. To start off, I thought I’d do a mini roundup of what I read in March- I’ll be reviewing most of these on the blog eventually.
Opal by Maggie Stiefvater- 3 stars
The Serpent and the Pearl by Kate Quinn- 3 stars
The Only Thing Worse Than Me Is You by Lily Anderson- 5 stars (reread)
The Royal We by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan- 4 stars
Good Boy by Elle Kennedy and Sarina Bowen- 4 stars
Gemina by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff- 5 stars
I also saw Love, Simon with my husband opening weekend and we both loved it!!! He kept whispering to me who he thought Blue was, which made me smile.
Chris: “Do you think that’s Blue?!”
Me: “Well… I read the book…”
Chris: “Oh right, don’t tell me!”
It was a great adaptation, so cute and funny, and I loved the cast. Can’t wait for the DVD! As it happens, I am going to England and Scotland next week with my mom so I’m going to be on the quiet side again, as far as responding to comments and interacting BUT I am going to schedule a few posts for while I’m gone. And I’ll get in the groove with reading other blogs again too. Thanks for sticking with me!
What was your favorite read in March? What are you looking forward to this month? Let me know!

I’ll soon be in your position! I’m moving at the end of April (hopefully!) so I’ll be job hunting in that area … good luck with yours and I hope you will still enjoy the free time!
Wasn’t THE ONLY THING WORSE THAN ME IS YOU so good?! I haven’t read MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING and I didn’t get like 25% of all the comic/geeky references but still found it so much fun. Also I’m so happy to see you loved GEMINA!!! I still have to read onward (I LOVED ILLUMINAE) but I think I need to re-read and start from the beginning since I forgot half of what happens haha. And you and your husband are so cute! Love that he was dedicated to figuring out who Blue is :p Hope you have a fun and safe trip in England!

Oh wow, good luck with your move!!! And job hunting! Yeah I’m trying to enjoy it because I know I’l look back and miss it sooner rather than later haha. Omg I loved it, it was a reread and just sooooo good! I haven’t read Much Ado either but from what a googled it seemed like a good adaptation. Yeah I def read a recap of Illuminae before diving in hahaha, but I remembered more than I expected! Really dying to start Obsidio soon. Omg it was adorable; he tends to love rom coms but I seriously loved that he was trying so hard to figure it out! Thank youuuuu, it was great.

Sounds like you’ve been busy! To be honest I couldn’t tell you what you missed as I took an impromptu hiatus as well. I hope the job and apartment hunting have been successful and that you enjoyed (or are enjoying) you’re European tour! Glad to hear Simon didn’t disappoint!
