Monthly Recap: March

by

I honestly have no idea where March went. I felt like I did nothing but was busy anyway and also the other way around? Sigh. Ignore me.

LIST OF NEWSWORTHY

March was the month where I actually became a feels troll because everyone hates my tumblr. Damn you, tumblr.
Caaaaake // It rained and was lovely // I went to a park // Almost birthday selfie

Transplant Update
We finally got approval to go ahead with for my mother’s kidney transplant and now we’re just waiting for her to have the surgery in a week or so. So nervous!

Quarter Century Club
I’ve always loved March because spring finally arrives and then it’s my birthday month, too. I still don’t know what I’m doing with my life so I keep having these little panics but mainly, I think I’m okay. I mean I got to have this divine strawberry gâteau cake so I can’t complain.

TV WATCH

Nothing matters now that The 100 is on break.
I WILL NEVER BE OKAY T____T //The 100
I can’t believe that it’s hardly been a little over two weeks since The 100 went on a break. LIKE HOW. Also, that ending smashed my heart into million little pieces and I’ll never be okay.
The season finale of Suits killed me.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine is the best comedy show out there and I don’t care what you say.
Fresh Off the Boat is still going hilariously well.
I also finished watching season one of Hindsight and have mixed feelings about it.
I basically watched one episode each of Arrow, The Originals, The Big Bang Theory, The Vampire Diaries and Daria and then wasn’t in the mood for anymore TV for the rest of March.

MOVIE WATCH

I think I should just stop including this section ha ha.

APP WATCH

I didn’t try out any new apps this month except one.

Trying my hand at organization.
Wunderlist – I actually tried it once before but I downloaded it again because they updated it with folders which is so much better. I still like Google Keep better, but I’m planning to use Wunderlist for blogging stuff.

LIST OF READS

Every single book that I read in March made me break down with the exception of one that was just a mindfuck.

I don’t know how I survived reading these.

A Darker Shade of Magic by V. E. Schwab
The Walls Around Us by Nova Ren Suma
Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson
Red Rising by Pierce Brown
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater (reread)

LIST OF BLOGPOSTS

I was in sort of a blogging slump for the whole month of March. It mainly involved me being too busy to blog and when I had the time to blog, I preferred reading over it. Also, I may have blanked out on how to write reviews.

I posted my review of The Walls Around Us by Nova Ren Suma

LIST OF BOOK BUYS

Wow, look at my book curing restraint! I’m honestly trying to cut out on requesting any review copies but I couldn’t hold back when I saw volume one of The Fade Out up on NetGalley because I’ve been anticipating it pretty darn much.

I hope it’s as awesome as its cover suggests.

The Falconer by Elizabeth May
The Fade Out, Vol 1 by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips (thank you, Image Comics!)

PLAYLIST

A slow month for music hmm.

Forever in love with purity ring // Sacrifice is the only song I love from the soundtrack // Hypnotise: The Pynch song

How was your March?

  1. NOTHING MATTERS BECAUSE THE 100 IS ON BREAK. Such truth to this statement. I've missed your posts, Sana!!! Also, happy birthday! Weee! I'll be joining the quarter century club in May… dread. (but not too much.) I have the mini panic attacks like you because I still don't know what I'm doing with my life O_O Best of luck with your mother's transplant! I'll be thinking of you 🙂

  2. I hope your mother's transplant goes well! I heard fantastic things about The Falconer, enjoy (:

  3. Okay so I only just within the last few weeks or so watched all the eps of The 100. And subsequently have become obsessed, obviously. And all this only to find out they're ON BREAK!!? Damn, I really missed the boat on that.
    Happy belated birthday, Sana! Best of luck with your mother's transplant!

  4. I am obsessed with Wunderlist. I put everything there and it keeps my head less chaotic. I still haven't seen all the episodes from The 100, but I'm not in a rush since there is a break. I like to savor the few episodes I have left. I hope everything will go all right with the transplant!

  5. Birthday months are THE BEST. Always.

    Arrow has admittedly been boring me as of late. I don't know.

    I thought I was all cool with my Wunderlist thing and I made all these to do things AND THEN I FELT HARASSED WHEN I DIDN'T ACHIEVE THEM WHICH WAS ALWAYS. Because I was not made to be bossed around by lists. I'm horrible. I pen it and then it never happens. YES I AM SUPERSTITIOUS NOW.

    I know there's like this whole Insurgent soundtrack but I swear to you, I only heard like ONE song in the movie o_O
