Confessions of a Literary Addict

This month felt like it lasted FOREVER. Probably a combination of the fact I got sick near the start and the fact I read 27 books. Specifically because I was sick and didn’t want to do anything but lie there and read. I’m a little burned out because of that (which is why I have 10 books on my currently-reading shelf, I keep swapping between them), but I don’t think it’ll last!

(It had better not last. I’ll be so mad if it does.)

13 left! I’m not sure yet what I’ll do if I finish this before the year is over, but I’ll think of something. (Or maybe I’ll just read whatever I want — AKA what I do anyway!)

I’m hoping to get at least one more done in April, but the burnout might keep me from doing that.

Thanks for reading!
