I don’t remember reading in March. I guess it’s not surprising, given how late this monthly review is coming. I know I read every month, but March feels like a blur. I think it rained a lot, or maybe it was just overcast. My perpetual state during this time of year is waiting for the sun. Either way, I got some reading … [Read more...]
