March Summary

March Summary 

March wasn't my best reading month for sure.  My grandmother passed away at the beginning of the month and has kind of left me in a reading slump.  I seem to be coming out of that now and expect April will be better.  On top of that, it seemed like we had something to do all the time, family get-togethers, things at school, my youngest started t-ball and many other things that just sucked the time right from me.  Add to that the beautiful weather which means it's time to start the garden.  I'm hoping it will calm down in April and I will get back to reading.  I know the read-a-thon is coming and I can't wait for that - I think that weekend is just what I need to jump start my reading!


However I really won't complain - it was still a good reading month - I enjoyed all of the books and was introduced to some wonderful new writers.  I think I reviewed all but one of the books I read and it's review will be going up later today.
