Coming back to book blogging regularly is probably one of the best things that could have happened to me right now. Apart from being the best time and encouraging to read more, it has made me super productive in other realms of my life and I've realized again what's important to me. AND I read a ton of amazing books this month that I wouldn't have otherwise. So thanks everybody for taking me back without question!!
This Tuesday I'm announcing a book challenge/event that's going to go down in March. I've spent a lot of time on it this month (in secret). It's going to be big and exciting and there will be MULTIPLE ways to win prizes. Stay tuned!! I'm really excited about it.
WHAT I DID
1. // Got back into the blogging groove. I feel completely uncomfortable with the word "groove" though and I regret that sentence.
2. // Participated in all sorts of readathons! Bout of Books and #24in48 were great.
3. // Spent time with a bunch of friends and hiked and ate a ton of sushi and stuff. Just the usual.
BOOKS READ
1. // A Manual for Cleaning Women by Lucia Berlin
2. // A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay
