Month in Review: March 2022

 

March was a crazy month…so many great books came out and I was busy with lots of book club reads and buddy reads. I am really enjoying all the discussions that come from these group reads and while I would probably have read most of these books, some were ones I might not have picked up. And as you can see, this month I definitely gravitated towards audiobooks…I love audiobooks and some months just work out that way where I get more books read that way. But…I clearly am behind on reviews and need to get a better system for keeping up with these.
