Last month I participated in my third round of Trope-ical Readathon. In case you missed it, here are the books I picked for the various challenges. This is the best I’ve ever done for a Trope-ical Readathon. Even though it felt chaotic, I read 9 books this time around. I also switched out some books from my original plan as the month went on and my reading preferences changed. So here’s my Trope-ical Readathon update from March 2023.

I also completed one Team Challenge by reading THE PRINCESS DIARIST by Carrie Fisher. I still haven’t learned to tally up my reading page totals or points as I go along. So I don’t have those today. Next round I’ll try to do that so I can share those stats.

Here is the final table of completed challenges.
