Hello book friends! Long time no post, I know. I really need to figure out a way to work full time, read as much as I want to, and also blog regularly… Perhaps putting down my phone more often would help…
Oh well, since I haven’t posted any reading wrap ups for February and March, I thought it would be fun to do a quarterly reading check in! I’ve been quite busy with life-stuff lately, so I’ll update on that too of course. quarterly reading check in

Life Stuff
It has been a turbulent few months. I finally got my carpet. Our boiler broke. It literally rained all of February. I switched job placements. I went to a concert. My plants are coming alive again. I did not stick to my TBR, at all. But at least my Goodreads challenge is going well!
That’s pretty much all of it, actually. Because I’m doing a traineeship I have to switch jobs every 6 months or so until 2024. It’s very fun because I get to try out different types of jobs, and if I don’t like it I get to move on relatively quick. I completed my first assignment in February, and since March 1 I work in The Hague! Travel is a bitch, but it’s also the city that has an American Book Center, soooo. Much money has already been spent there. Speaking of, here’s a list of the books I bought so far this year:
- How to Lose the Information War by Nina Jankowicz
- Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo
- The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent
- Belladonna by Adalyn Grace
- For the Wolf by Hannah Whitten
- Cursed by Marissa Meyer
- Oathbringer (hc) by Brandon Sanderson
- Rhythm of War (hc) by Brandon Sanderson
- Chain of Thorns by Cassandra Clare
- These Infinite Threads by Tahereh Mafi
- The Blood Traitor by Lynette Noni
- Foolproof by Sander van der Linden
- A Day of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon
- The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by S.A. Chakraborty
I only got 14 books so far, that’s not bad! I’m 120% sure that last year I already had twice as much. Moving out and having to pay for your own groceries really does a number on the amount of books you can impulsively buy… Full disclosure but I already bought five books this month, whoops. Anyway, this is becoming a long post, but I still want to add a glimpse of my TBR:
