Spring is fighting the last bit of winter that wants to stick around. Thanks to Ohio, we’ve had warm days, cold, days, freezing days, and snow all in one week. I have started some seeds and bulbs for perennials to put around our new home. I’m so excited to garden and landscape this place! There were a lot of things going on with my family that took my attention from reading. Kind of a slow reading month for me but I managed to get most of my Tropei-cal readathon books to read.
I read a total of 21 books this month. Several of these were shorter KU books or novellas.
I have completed 18 books for my PopSugar Challenge
I completed 26 books for my Beat the Backlist Challenge.
I also want to talk about a new monthly post I’ve created. It’s all about highlighting the Birthstone of the month with lovely book covers. Check it out here if you want to see more about it. Definitely join in next month if you think it looks fun! ❤ I’ve seen a couple people participate and it’s been so awesome to see! Thanks, guys! I’m honored you have jumped in! ❤

I’m a few days into April but I had to just say… something I haven’t stopped loving over the last two years, Harry Styles. He has a new single and I’m so excited! His album drops two days after my birthday and I’m trying to convince my husband to get me a vinyl player for my birthday. Oliver also loves Harry and gets so excited when his songs come on. I mean… I only play Harry’s music but yeah. We had so many dance parties the last few days.

Sounds like you worked in plenty of books in between the dance parties, Leslie!
