March Reading Wrap Up

March is always a pretty swell month, cos it's my birthday month and all. I am a fan of that. And I did marginally better with reading. I mean, sure 2 of them were graphic novels/comics and one was an audiobook I've listed to a jillion times BUT STILL. I even managed to get all of the reviewing for books-I-need-to-not-just-want-to review done. Pretty proud of that. Did you see that? Last week, TWO whole reviews were written? You should know, I was very smug on Tuesday when the second review went out.

Let's get on to those stats!

Yay for birthdays and meeting review goals and all of that good stuff! Relistening to audio books *totally* counts, don't anybody try to tell me that it doesn't.

I was so impressed with myself to actually get those 2 reviews done. Like, embarrassingly so. I may not be able to get my "I just wanna" reviews done, but actual reviews I'm on the hook for? DONE!
Reviews are reviews: congrats!
And happy belated birthday!
Bring on the smug-ness.

Thank you thank you! I was so smug. And I had no one to be smug at (thought I aimed a LOT at Tom)
WORLD WAR Z, so good, so proud of you.

I didn't necessarily INTEND to relisten to it. But I finished a book but still had train time left and it just happened. And it was so good. I love it every time.
