I really need time to slow down a bit. I just did a wrap up, and here I am doing another one for March. I read 7 books that month and had an average rating of 4.4 stars. I own all of the books except for two, so I’m making good progress on my physical TBR.

Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business.
We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.

Here's my January reading wrapup!
I had an average rating of 4.3 ⭐
I did a lot of immersive reading (audio plus physical) and it helped a lot with retention.
I spent $73 for the month on 3 books and saved $127 by using the library and receiving gifted books from publishers.
