Ashley’s March 2024 Book Haul and Reading Wrap Up

05.26.2024 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

March was an excellent reading month for me.  I had two weeks off for Spring Break, so I really made the best possible use of my time and read so much while I was off work.  It was a wonderful time and I read so, so many excellent books.  It’s partly why I’m so behind on Wrap Ups.  I found it pretty daunting to want to type up all the reviews for the books I read.  However, it’s finally time so you’ll find my reading wrap up and March haul below the cut.

Book Review | Spells For Forgetting by Adrienne Young

***Disclaimer: I received a free early access copy of Spells For Forgetting by Adrienne Young from NetGalley through Random House Ballantine/Delacorte Press for review purposes. Thank you so much for opportunity.

From the moment I read Sky in the Deep in one sitting, Adrienne Young became one of my favorite authors and therefore one of my go-to auto-buy ones. When I heard she was releasing her adult debut, you bet I went to get my hands on a copy. Thank you so much again to the publisher for granting my NetGalley wish!
