It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (April 1, 2019)

It's Monday, What Are You Reading? is now hosted by Kathryn at The Book Date.

It’s Monday!  What Are You Reading is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week.  It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list.

I will be combining my YA and adult reading and purchases on this one weekly roundup.

Other Than Reading...

This was a quiet week. The sun has been shining and the snow melting leaving only the snow that was in drifts and snowplow ridges. I went out to exercise at Curves five times this week. I also went to a cousin's birthday party at Texas Roadhouse. I've been watching lots of baseball too.

This week was the time to set up my posts for May and choose which books I wanted to read from my TBR mountain. I also prepared my State of the Stack post about my review books. I added some review books that week that are late in series that I haven't read. I've been curious about the series and the authors and just hope that I can hop into a series without starting with book one.

Monthly Report

I read 30 books in March. Sixteen were mine and fourteen were from my Review stack. I read three from my TBR mountain (books I've had more than six months) and seven were rereads. Seven of the books were YAs. Those 30 books totaled 10,598 pages.

I added 26 books to my LibraryThing account in March. There are still 23 unread but fourteen are review books. I have also scheduled in all but two of the other books that are unread. One is a novella that I'll fit in when I have a little extra time and the final book is The Belles which was a Kindle Daily Deal. I need to wait until I'm in the mood for another YA Dark Fantasy before I schedule this one in.

LibraryThing tells me that I have 2149 in my To Read collection. These are books that I own in either print or Kindle versions. 1615 of these are Kindle books. I'm fairly sure that some of these are Kindle copies of books I read years ago but won't know for sure until I begin reading them again and they start to sound familiar.
