When Booktube Goes from Fun to Stress: My March TBR.

 This is NOT an “I’m quitting YouTube” blog post, so calm the fuck down.

But I do want to talk about the stress that I feel sometimes because of YouTube. 

So I’m in school.  I’m all done with my general ed’s and I’m 100% in my major and minor classes. To graduate by Spring 2016 I have to take 15 units every semester.  I also work as a server about 18 hours a week.  Yes, I’m busy. 

And so although I want to read books all the time and I want to be uploading way more than I am, when I think about attempting to do so, I get so stressed out and panicky.  So to stay away from those feelings, I’m uploading less and I’m also reading books for fun a lot less.

I only read two books in February, which I’m not surprised about but I aimed high and put five books on my tbr.  So instead of boring you with a short wrap up and a replay on the books I aimed for in February being repeated for my March TBR, I’m just going to go through everything here.

If you want to watch my February TBR video you can check that out here.

I did read Ignite by Lily Paradis, which I also reviewed, so here’s a link to that video in case you haven’t seen it yet. It was amazing!

I then moved on to Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe because that was the LittleBookClub’s book of the month hosted by Caz, or LittleBookOwl on YouTube. I still haven’t managed to watch the live show so just more evidence that I’m behind in life! I gave this book a 4/5 stars because I loved the story and the pacing of the story, but I didn’t feel much of a connection with the narrator, Aristotle. Instead, I found myself wishing the story was in Dante’s point of view.

I’m now reading Deaf Like Me by John Spradley for my ASL class, and I’ll be picking up Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas before returning to the books I named in my TBR video because Brittni from Brittni’s Book Find and I are buddy reading it! If you want to join us, we set up a Goodreads page here.

I just felt like letting some of my feels out, because I really want to be reading more but if I’m going to stay sane while I’m in school, I just can’t. And this is my apology for it.
