Wrap up

Books completed: 
  • Fracture Me
  • The One - Kiera Cass
  • Fyre - Angie Sage
  • Unravel Me - Tahereh Mafi

Total pages read: 1086

Goals archived: 
  • reading throughout the week ✓
  • finishing the "Shatter Me" trilogy + the novellas
  • finishing the "The Selection" triolgy ✓
  • finally finishing "Fyre" (the thing is I just don't want this series to end XD") ✓
  • maybe one book from my tbr box

My thoughts: 
While I only archived three out of five goals and had to do an adjustment in between I'm super happy I was able to finally finish Fyre by Angie Sage and that I continued on with the Shatter Me trilogy by Tahereh Mafi. Had to do one adjustment to my Bout of Books tbr, because I suddenly received my copy of The One by Kiera Cass and I had to read it as soon as I got it. So with that I completed two series and nearly finished with the Shatter Me one too. I completed three full books and the rest of Fyre, which means I read a lot more in one week as I normally do. I think I could have come farer if I hadn't to study for my last exam (and hadn't birthday in between XD), but since school is the most important at the moment it's totally okay that I "only" read this much. All in all I had a lot of fun and I would love to do it again. ^^

Thought about participating in this one. I still have to do my goals list and I think it's going to be a little hard, but I just won't put too much on there. Still have to prepare for viral history exam. Which is kind of annoying. But still, school's counting the most the last few weeks. ;__; I'll be so glad when everything will be over. Soon~

One week of reading, with my birthday in between should be fun and kind of relaxing. haha That sounds like it'll be no stress concentrating on the reading. XP

Btw, my April wrap up should be following soon and I'm writing on heidi. in Cologne. So be prepared for another super long post. ^o^
