March 2021 Wrap Up – Five 5 Star Reads!

March was pretty much my get back into reading month. I’ve mentioned how I was struggling through the beginning of the year a handful of times on my blog, so I won’t delve too much into it here – but I was hoping that March might help get back to enjoying reading and taking the time to sit down for a book.

I did get to enjoy stepping away from the real world at least for a little while. I ended up rereading some favorites and some new ones. I ended up having a pretty okay reading month compared to what I was accomplishing earlier. I ended up reading 5 books during the month.

My first read was a comic: I am Pusheen the Cat by Claire Belton.

Rating: 5

Genre: comic

One Sentence Synopsis: A cartoon about cats.

How I felt: March marked one year since my sister passed away, so I was having a really hard time. This comic was the perfect feel good read that I really needed. It was cute, made me laugh, and also made me go “that is so my cat! We love cats in this house so I’m not even surprised that this worked to help cheer me up. The art was really cute – I definitely recommend if you just want a really light, fun read.

Next:

The Invisible Life of Addie Larue by V. E. Schwab

Rating: 5

Genre: Adult Fantasy

One Sentence Synopsis: A girl makes a deal with a god and trades time for her soul, but with the catch that no one remembers her.

How I felt: I wrote a whole review of this book on my blog, you can find it here. I absolutely adored this book, so much. It was emotional, relatable, and beautiful. I still think about it all the time! I adore Schwab’s writing and this book was a masterpiece.

I reread:

Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo. Both got 5 on the reread – they’re still two of my favorite books.

My last read was another comic:

in Love and Pajamas by Catana Chetwynd

Rating: 5

One Sentence Synopsis: Cute comics about what it’s like living with your partner.

How I felt: This comic was absolutely adorable and relatable. The art style is again cute. I absolutely adored the interaction of the couple in the comics. This was another one of those things I would recommend picking up if you need your day to be just a little brighter.

I also started to read The Blood King by Abigail Owen near the end of the month, but paused in order to include it in my March TBR [which you’ve already seen].

I had a great month when it came to reading! How did everyone’s March go?

Until next time,
