I finished 21 titles (4 down from last month, 2 down from last March), with an equivalent of 5,675 pages or the equivalent (749 down from last month), and gave them an average of 3.67 stars (.27 up from last month).
I knew I’d been busy, sick, and tired lately–but it wasn’t until I looked at the part of this wrapup where I list what I posted, that I realized just how little I’ve done here lately. Thanks for sticking with me–I’m not saying it’s over (if you could hear me cough yesterday, you’d know that was the case), but I’m working on it.
So, here’s what happened here in March.
