March was jammed packed with excitement!
Fairy Tale Fortnight started off with a bang, and it has been so much fun! I'm sad it's over for another year.
I will, however, be featuring fairy tales more frequently on my blog in a new upcoming feature entitled "A Twist in the Tail," which will be merged with my prior feature "Mythological Mondays." Look forward to it!
I'll have a Fairy Tale Fortnight post later in the week. It was exhausting just to do THIS post, and the round-up will be even more intensive! But...part of the wrap-up is included here, just not sorted by authors/guest posts/whatnot.
Here's a look at what's been going on!

*LICHGATES by S.M. Boyce {YA}
PLANNING TO READ IN MARCH:
All the aforementioned blog tour books.
After this week, I'm allowing myself to read a few books I want to read before I get back into the hard-core blogging game. I read about 20 books for FTF--and not all were reviewed!--and I have a tour stop almost every day this week. I deserve some time for WHATEVER.
Of course, my WHATEVER list is huge. I'm thinking that I will for sure get to THE BITTER KINGDOM by Rae Carson, VICIOUS by Victoria Schwab, WILD AWAKE by Hilary T. Smith, THE TWICE LOST by Sarah Porter, APOLLYON by Jennifer L. Armentrout, THAT TIME I JOINED THE CIRCUS by J.J. Howard, THE STORYTELLER by Jodi Picoult, PREMEDITATED by Josin L. McQuein, and maybe RED by Alison Cherry and THINGS I CAN'T FORGET by Miranda Kenneally.
And I probably realistically won't get to ALL of those. Or I'll feel bad for gorging myself on books that come out pretty far into the future instead of what's out already or coming soon. But if I don't read ahead, I get into this rut where I'm reading the books as they come out, despite having them forever. You guys, I received DARK TRIUMPH in October, it came out this week, my pre-ordered hardcover will arrive in the mail tomorrow, and I started my ARC yesterday. So I want to get better at reading ahead and making time!
