Finished Reading - March 2026
March was a slower reading month for me but it was a high quality successful month - I loved all the books I read; 3 new 5 stars and one 4.5 read. I’m also more than halfway through a few books, so I imagine April will be a much busier reading month from a finished book perspective. I’m also trying to be more mindful of screen time to have more reading time — I’m laughing at myself while I type up this post on my phone, but hey it’s better than watching tv!
