My very good friend and fellow blogger Ebony changed her blog name from The Book Bee. She now calls her blog "Paperbacks & Protagonists" what a cool blogname!


I read my very first new adult novel, and I loved it!

I was nominated for the Liebster Blog Award, see my post here and who I nominated, I really appreciate Michelle Reed taking the time to nominate me and I can't express how honoured I felt.

I turned 17 March 2. and I got a bunch of books! (Birthday Book Haul: Part 1 | Part 2)

I went back to reading books for pleasure, you can read all about it here

I reached 50+ followers/readers and I'm so proud! ^^

I hosted my very first giveaway! 


Instagram! I joined instagram back in February, but I didn't really use it - that changed this month though! If you want to know which books I get, which book I am currently reading or just finished, sneak peaks or anything along those lines, then follow me (I follow back).

Clare-a-thon which takes place from April 17th to April 23rd. You can sign up here if you want. It's just your normal read-a-thon but this time you have to read ONLY Cassandra Clare books. I am going to be reading the Infernal Devices trilogy and maybe continue with Mortal Instruments... I am not so sure about though. 

I am also looking forward to the #YearAThon. The theme this month is re-reads, so I am hopefully going to continue re-reading The Order of the Phoenix (which I started in February) and maybe re-read The Half-Blood Prince. 

Our last bookclub meeting! This is kind of bittersweet because I am sad that it's already over, but I really enjoy these meetings and talking to all of these wonderful people.

The TBR Jar pick for this month was: How to Love, and I am very happy about that! I really really want to read it!
I know I put The Well of Ascension on my TBR last month, but I never got around to it because it's so massive.. For the month of April I've made a schedule, so I have to read 25-35 pages a day and when the month is over I will have completed it!
I also have to read How to be Good by Nick Hornby for my bookclub and me and Ebony from Paperbacks & Protagonists are doing a readalong with These Broken Stars.
