Top Ten Books on my Spring 2021 TBR

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. More information here.

The first 6 books are what is left of the last 3 years of seasonal TBRs and I'm kinda really proud that I finally have made some headway. My hope is to continue to read from the list and make actual seasonal lists for myself. Additionally, two of these books made my 5 star predictions list, so I'm really wanting to read them (Morrigan Crow and Godsgrave). The first two books are on my TBR for this month, so I really hope I get around to reading them. This Is Where It Ends is actually my next read after I finish ACOWAR.

I added 4 new books to my list which are still books that have been on past non-seasonal TBRs or ones I've actually started and put down because I got distracted by another book. I'll be honest only one of them is one I really really really want to read (Unearthed). The others are more that they have been on past TBRs or I've hauled them a long time ago and need to get around to reading them.

March 2021 TBR & Monthly Challenge

In 2021, I'm participating in Words & Whimsy Reading Challenge (new challenge each month - March is Greek Pantheon: Power Couples) and The Avengers Initiative Reading Challenge (a year long challenge). 

February was about as strong as January for me despite it being shorter and a really stressful and busy month overall with 2 of the kids having birthdays and Nick finally getting back from California. I read 10 books totaling 2907 pages and 23 hr 5 min - my wrap up will go live next Monday. I am ahead in my Goodreads challenge, Series challenge, and Netgalley challenge. I'm slightly behind in my Owlcrate challenge.

In the month of March, there are 10 criteria prompts instead of 8 like last month, so my TBR is large and in charge. I decided to make it heavy on the audio books. If I'm able to read all these books, I will finish a series and knock some books off my seasonal TBR lists - which would be so awesome. My goal is 168 pages per day to read all of these books - although again, most of that will be audiobook time.

My TBR for March:

• Sanctuary by Caryn Lix [Kindle]
  
• Cress by Marissa Meyer [Audio - Library]
  
• Winter by Marissa Meyer [Audio - Library]
  
• A Promised Land by Barack Obama [Audio - Library]
  
• Concrete Rose by Angie Thomas [Audio - Library]
  
• The Once & Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow [Audio - Library]
  
• A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas [Kindle - Library]
  
• Girls of Paper and Fire by Natasha Ngan [Hardcover - Owlcrate]
• This Is Where It Ends by Marieke Nijkamp [Kindle]
• Not Otherwise Specified by Hannah Moskowitz [Kindle]

Series Challenge: 5/10 series - 50% AHEAD!
