Well I’m super late with a monthly wrap-up post AGAIN!
Heat Rivalry fan-fiction has taken over my life, this is not great, and puts me significantly behind all my reading goals. I’ve built in some leeway for my Romanceopoly — 2026 Reading Challenge, but I didn’t think I’d need it so soon. I’m trying to give myself grace but I’m a tiny bit disappointed with my progress, but I’m also having the best time reading fan-fiction. It’s very complicated!
Romanceopoly — 2026 Reading Challenge might be a little too much for me this year. I’m not giving up, but I’m also not near as confident as I was! 😀 I think I’m finding the amount of posts need to be a bit challenging, the collages for each post are creating significant mental barriers to posting. I will continue to push on though.
I read 13 books in March, three of those were from Romanceopoly — 2026 Reading Challenge, and one of those books meant I completed the first quarterly event.
I’m now at 50% completion for the TwentyOffMyShelf 2026, 25% completion for the Twenty Genres in 2026. I also completed book three in my own Non-fiction reading 2026 challenge. I mean when I look at it through this lens it doesn’t feel like I’m that behind!
I did start a Psy/Changeling reread in March, therefore four of my 13 reads were rereads. April will look much worse, but I like to do a yearly reread and it means I can focus on my obsession without it upsetting my stats — and therefore me — too much! 😀

After the joy that was Big Bad Wolf last month I needed something to fill the gap and Ethan and Jack are doing a pretty good job. This being broken up into lots of novellas is both a blessing and a curse, great to get the average up but more reviews to write. 🙂
A former SAS soldier and current Australian ‘spy’, and an assassin he isn’t sure isn’t going to stab him in the back! Of course this was going to be an entertaining series. I’ve put it on pause because I really didn’t want to burn through them.
