Reflection | Most Anticipated Releases of First Quarter 2022

~ Amanda @ Literary Weaponry ~ 2 Comments

Something I have found I enjoy doing is looking back on past TBRs and anticipated lists and taking mental stock of what I thought of those books. Was I right in choosing them? Why did I or did I not enjoy about them? Did I actually read them at all?

I’ve been doing this for myself for a while now and thought I’d share it with you as well! So, today, we are going to look back at my most anticipated list from the first quarter of 2022 and see, first, if I read the books and, secondly, if I enjoyed them.

March Wrap Up

~ Amanda @ Literary Weaponry ~ 7 Comments

I’m not going to sit here and pretend that March was a magical month. We’ve watched the war in Ukraine escalate as lives are lost, we’ve seen yet another wave of COVID virus mutation make its way through our populations, watched inflation absolutely cripple those already struggling monetarily, and we are all out here just doing our best to not come apart at the seams.

Last 5 Books I Added to my TBR

~ Amanda @ Literary Weaponry ~ 2 Comments

Something I’ve been looking at lately is the books on my TBR. I started doing a massive TBR purge at the beginning of 2022 because, honestly, enough time had passed since I had put many of the books on my Goodreads TBR that my interest in them had wained and it was time to free up some space. Yes, I know, there isn’t a limit to how many books you had add to your to-read shelf on Goodreads but if that number gets too big it makes me have a little internal panic. Easier on my brain to just tidy up.

The Bookish Blog Tag!

~ Amanda @ Literary Weaponry ~ 3 Comments

I’d been pondering bookish things to write about. Did you know, it isn’t easy writing about books when you are in a reading slump? Who knew. However, I was scrolling along and stumbled across The Bookish Blog Tag over at Kristin Kraves Books and it sounded like a fun time. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find who the creator of the tag is but lets just dive right in, shall we?
