It was certainly a good reading month – MY BEST EVER! Yes, things have slowly been going back to normal, but I for the most part am still content staying home. We are no where close to this pandemic being over and while the numbers in my area are pretty good, they are not at zero. I have a few people I see, but I actually don’t mind staying home – and it gives me more reason to read ALL MY BOOKS!
