Month in Review: March 2021

 

Another month come and gone, filled with more amazing books. So many new books were publishing this month that I unfortunately did not do too well with reading from my own books or getting in any backlists books but I’m ok with that. The one thing I really loved this month was all the buddy reads/book club discussions I was part of…I am really enjoying being part of these – it makes my reading experiences with each book so much richer. I participated in 5 this month and I already looking forward to seeing what is in store for next month!
