Hello and welcome to another check in for my Read 5, Buy 1 challenge. I don’t know about you, but I have really had the itch to buy as of late and I will admit it, I went a bit above my Buy 1, but thankfully not by much! The ones I did go and buy that were not covered by my Read 5, Buy 1 were all Shakespeare plays for my Blogmas | Goals | 2020 Shakespeare Challenge. So, they were books I would have had to buy anyway. Anyway, here are the books I read and the books I bought in March!

Overall, I don’t think I did too badly with this challenge. I read 15 books, but I only added 9 books so my Owned TBR as a whole has gone down this month. A win in my book! I am hoping with the OWLs in April I will be doing even more reading, but so far I have done a bit of ebook buying this month. So, we shall see how this social distancing affects my book buying and my TBR.
Are any of these books on your TBR?
What is the last book you added to your TBR?
Bookish Luna 
I would say it went pretty well haha!

I feel like I should give the Read 5, Buy 1 strategy a shot because I always buy massive amounts of books and never get around to reading any of them 😂 I finished Crescent City the other day and liked it quite a bit, though the first half of the book was pretty slow. I hope you enjoy it!

I have heard the start is slow, but well worth it. If you give it a shot let me know how it goes!

The Two Lives of Lydia Bird looks like the prettiest book ever, what a stunning cover!! What a great idea for a challenge too, I’ve definitely felt that book buying itch recently and it’s getting harder and harder to resist.

It really is a beautiful book, I give a lot of credit to the artist.
I am glad you like this idea for a challenge, it is really helpful for me my TBR has not been too out of control for sometime because of it.
