March in Review


What I Learned

Well, I give up on reading goals... But, I am having fun and that is what counts right? I really need to read more of my own books of the longer variety. My reading has been primarily graphic novels and there are so many novels that I want to read! I am hoping April will open up more of a balance... But, I did set a goal to have no unread graphic novels in my house by the end of year and am working on that at the very least!

  9. I really like how you also include how many new to you authors you read. I may have to do that for my year end review. Hope April is another great month!

  11. If it's one or the other, then having fun > reading goals :) I think having one or two are good but if they aren't working, scrap them and go with the flow. That said, on the reading longer books vs getting to your graphic novels it's not a bad goal to have. Perhaps you can switch between them or have a longer-term long book?

    Either way you read to a lot of books this month :D
