? Is your TBR is getting the best of you? . Real talk time: I’ve been in a bit of a reading/blogging funk the last few months. (You can probably tell by the lack of activity here.) I think it’s partially because I’m more or less reading on a schedule, something that never really interested me. It makes blogging feel too much like work and, at the end of the day, this is still a hobby. It’s supposed to be fun. It might be because I took on too much, but I’ve found I kinda resent my ARCs at times. THAT IS NOT OK. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not ungrateful. AT ALL. I’m giddy every time I receive a new book for review. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to read SO MANY of my favorite authors’ words before they’re released. But I have all these books on my shelves (and TBR carts and ereader) that I was excited about at one time. I want to give them some love, too. .  I got to thinking about all this over the weekend and decided I need to shift my focus a little. Hit the reset button if you will. I only have a couple ARCs for March and I’m going to (try to) keep it that way. (The struggle is real.) Instead of focusing on the new and upcoming books in March, I want to truly tackle my TBR. With that, TBR March was born. I got some good feedback when I posted about it on here, so I decided to make it “a thing”. . If you feel like your TBR is getting the best of you, you’re not alone. Join me for the TBR March Reading Challenge (#TBRMarch19). Check out the full details on the blog.

Freebies I snagged because I have no willpower:

Non-Bookish News:

This week being an adult totally kicked my butt. My bank account was overdrawn, I hurt my back, and I have a cold. Also, we have an appraisal on the house this week so I have to clean from top to bottom. Does adulting ever get easier?!? Why do I feel like they should revoke my adult card or something. I obviously do not have a handle on this.

Its been so rainy here that everything is flooded. Wednesday we actually got some ice/freezing rain so we had a 2 hour delay for school. By the time my principal made the call, I was already in my car. So I just went on in and spent some time getting caught up on paperwork. It was actually kind of nice!

I think I’m out of my reading slump. I have had a string of really great reads lately! Hopefully it stays good.

So, whats new with you this week? Did you read any of the same books I did? Did you find any great book deals I need to grab ASAP? Let me know in the comments!

  1. Sorry your week wasn’t so great! I hope you feel better.
    I saw the TBR for March, I am currently doing what I thought was the year long one so I am sort of confused why she has one for the month I need to look at that.

    I hope this week is better for you Samantha! Happy Reading! xx

  2. Well samantha I don’t think we can have our adult card revoked sadly. It’s true that I often think fondly and longingly about my childhood when we had not a care but alas there is no way to go back. So my advice would be: chin high girl and make the best of it! Hope next week is quieter!

  3. Yeah even vacation requires adult skills if you do anything. This is one reason why I thought being married would be great in having a partner so for a day here and there one could retreat and most of the time the workload would be shared. Unfortunately I was the primary adult. It ends up being easier not having a partner when it is really just another responsibility. At least now I know it’s me. I don’t count on anyone who doesn’t follow through.

    It’s finally stopped raining. I’m so happy! And I do have great books!

  4. I cannot even tell you how many times I got the call about a delayed opening, when I was already at school. Like you, I just used the time to set up labs and make copies, etc. Sorry to hear about your week. Adulting ain’t easy, but hopefully things settle down for you.
