march monthly wrap-up

published on

hello.

a post header that says "Pages of Perfiction: Monthly Wrap Up" with a cozy book theme
This month really flew by, didn't it? Well, I'm pretty sure I said the same thing last month, but whatever. This is the third monthly wrap-up I've written: Here's my monthly wrap up for Jan, and this is the one for February.

posts I published this month

So this is last month's monthly wrap up, and it's... well, let's just call it interesting. It's the longest post I've ever written, and includes quite a few rants.

the Wall by Brian Penn // why I DNF'ed this dystopian at 14 percent

This book had been sitting on my Netgalley ARC shelf for, like, three months, and I finally reviewed it!
Another ARC, but this one was so much better! I enjoyed it so much and would recommend it to everyone. Yes, that includes you! Go read the review right now.

a love letter to 10:59 by N R Baker

Because I loved 10:59 so much, I decided to write a love letter to it!

bite-sized book reviews batch two (featuring nonfiction, booktok sensations, novellas, and more!)

This post was sitting half-written in my drafts folder for two months, and I finally finished & published it.

The Reappearance of Rachel Price by Holly Jackson book review

I will be honest: A Good Girl's Guide to Murder is one of my favorite novels and I may have screamed when I realized I was approved to ARC read Holly Jackson's latest book.

music this month

I have a Spotify account, and one of the cool features is that it will show you your top songs and artists of the month. I thought it would be fun to go through that with you.

top artists

1. Taylor Swift

Okay, this is the second month in a row she was my top artist. I'm really surprised!

2. Ariana Grande

I listened to Eternal Sunshine on repeat the whole month. She might be a bad person, but her music is fire.

3. Connor Price

His confidence radiates out of his songs and I absorb it. Period.

4. Emei

My new favorite artist!! Go listen to her RIGHT NOW.

top songs

Click on the play button to listen to the songs. I have no idea why the thumbnails look so strange/different when I try to embed them, but whatever.

1. That Girl by Emei

2. Ocean Eyes by Billie Eilish

3. Too Bad by Connor Price

So those were my top three songs this month! Let me know what you thought of them in the comments section.

playlist of the month


Those of you who were here last month know that I've started making a playlist of my favorite songs from each month. That's what the Spotify embedded thingy above is.

This is always the hardest part to write, because out of all the book blogs I'm following, 198 posts were published this month! I certainly can't put them all in here, no matter how much I want to 😭. But here are some that stood out to me:

If you have a blog, please comment the link! I'd love to check it out.

a running list of all the noteworthy books I read this year

published on
When I say "all", I don't mean all the books I post a full review for. I mean every. single. one. Yes, even that book I read at 1am after binging booktube videos for an hour on my Kindle underneath my covers (low-key exposing myself here). If I hated the book with a passion, I'll post a review here. If I loved it, I'll also post a review. The only reason I won't put one up is if it was so boring I refuse to dignify it with a review. Anyways, let's do this. January "The Ex: a mind-bending thriller" by Freida McFadden ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰  "A mind bending thriller" is actually part of the title. Don't ask why. This is the first book I read of the year, and it although it wasn't bad, I didn't like it.  I love plot twists, I really do, but the ending was too random. Ideally, the conclusion should be connected to the storyline and make everything feel full circle. Not in this book. To explain what I mean, here's a paragraph pulled from  F

my review of Percy Jackson and the Olympians (is the new tv show actually good?)

published on
Picture this: I'm sitting on my couch, with this computer on my lap, staring at it intently as I hammer out these words. The TV in front of me is on Disney+, and the words "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" are emblazoned on the screen. The remote is set beside me, and I let out a long breath as I finally clicked the play button. Here I am, about to dive in to the long-awaited Percy Jackson  TV series. I've heard many good things about this new addition. Is it worth the hype? In this review post, I'll be talking about the series and give you my honest opinions on it. And yes, I'm actually writing these words while watching the show. After watching first 30 seconds of the percy jackson TV show Maybe I'm taking this reaction post too far, because it's been only 37 seconds and I already paused the episode to write this. At this rate, it's going to take a decade to get through the season. But in all seriousness, the beginning hooked me. The first senten

The Art of Being Difficult by William Chekhov review (this book certainly lived up to its name because it was VERY DIFFICULT TO READ)

published on

introduction A Loveless Child. A Loveless Woman. Sweet Romance. Murder. Satire. Desperation. Fate.  That's it. That's the whole back cover description. I suppose the ominous, mysterious ambience was partly what drew me in, but that's what made me lose interest, too. Hey, I'm Paige, and this is a review of "The Art of Being Difficult" by William Chekhov. I received a free copy of this book via Netgalley in exchange for a honest review, but these thoughts are my own. Thank you, Mendelssohn Press! it was confusing to read  I don't know how to describe Chekhov's writing style, except that it's a tough read for those seeking a straightforward narrative. To me, it looked like a bunch of scenes. There was no storyline. I think there might have been a hidden meaning or something, but I couldn't figure it out.  The lack of clear structure makes it challenging to follow the author's train of thought. it got boring soon Aside from the whole 'I do
