I did pretty well in March, finishing 17 books, including 4 audio books for a total of 5,172 pages and 2.35 days of audio. I’m sort of surprised, because most of my weeks seemed slow, but I guess they added up pretty well.

That is a good, productive month! I don’t think I could tell you how many I read a month. I stick to a schedule of posting reviews three days a week, to the point where I am scheduling posts at the end of April. Who knows when I read what?
You had a great month and have me really curious about The House of Tomorrow. I had a busy month this month and I am surprised I got through 12 books. I feel like I haven’t read anything.
Impressive! I don’t know how you do it! I’m guessing I read 4-5 books(including audio). As long as you are enjoying reading I say good for you.
I’m glad to see The House of Tomorrow as your pick of the month. I requested it on Vine after reading your fantastic review.
I’m always impressed with how much you get read with all that you have going on besides. Another fantastic reading month!
Wow! You had quite a good month!
I didn’t do mine this month but alas you had a more productive month that I haha.
I have House of Tomorrow on audio based on your recommendation. Maybe I’ll get to it this month.
I will be looking forward to your reviews on Revolutionary Road as well as Henrietta Lacks. I want to read both!!
WOW! What did you think of “Double Fault?” I’ve never talked to anyone else that’s read it. I read it last fall. I thought it was typical Shriver: precise and brilliant, but also sort of depressing.
Wow! What a month – you got so much reading (and listening) done! There are a lot of books you read in March which I would really like to read – I will definitely check out your reviews.
