SUMMARY: march

Another month where I start off strong and then just suddenly lose desire to read halfway through…but in all fairness, I did get very busy. It didn’t help that I read a lot of books this month that I didn’t particularly like. This is why we DNF, I tell myself, and yet! Anyways, I did manage to read 12 books this month, a couple of which are definitely going to be in my top ten reads of the year.
