April Monthly TBR & Challenge Updates

Towards the end of February, my reading slowed down significantly. In March, it didn't get better. I kind of fell into a slump and health issues took over. I'm slowly coming out of it, so my goal is to finish at least 3 of the books on my TBR. I'm really looking forward to Heart of Iron and Nevernight especially. Who knows...maybe April will be a super strong month like January, but I'm not holding my breath. Soccer is underway and we have 80 billion appointments coming up - including my 6 week checkup for my heart procedure.

My Tentative TBR for April:

• Heart of Iron by Ashley Poston [Owlcrate book]
• Everless by Sara Holland [for #AYearAThon]
• Nevernight by Jay Kristoff [for #AYearAThon]
• Unwind by Neal Shusterman [for #AYearAThon]
• Black Chuck by Regan McDonell [Netgalley]
• Seeker of the Crown by Ruth Lauren [Netgalley]

My goal is to finish 10 series in 2018. I have a page that lists my current series: here.
Books read in a series this month: 1 (Raspberry Danish Murder)
Series finished this month: 1 - Total for 2018: 2
Series started this month: 0 - Total for 2018: 4
Series tally: 54 - 1 + 0 = 53 series in the middle of

My goal is to read 40 books published before 2018. I don't necessarily have a list for this.
In March, I read 3 backlisted books: Any Boy But You, When Dimple Met Rishi, Geekerella. My total is now 22 backlisted books read.
