The reading curse is broken! I finished 23 books this month, 17 of which were print/ebooks for a total of nearly 6000 pages, and 6 of which were audio for a total of about 53 hours. I’m sure my reading will take a bit of a dive again in April when we actually move, but I’m very happy with how March went.

I am in awe of how much you read. Pregnancy seems to cause reading slumps for me-you’ve read more books this month than I have the entire year!
Oh! I missed that you are pregnant too, congratulations! There is something in the blogger water this year. Pregnancy has definitely been causing reading slumps for me, too. From late November until the end of February I was dragging, but I’m finally back in the swing of things.
Wow…you sure read a lot last month. I was able to finish 12 books, 1 being an audio book.
I also read The Sister Queens this month and really enjoyed it. It was the first time I had read anything about that time period and now I want to find more books set during that time or about those characters.
There’s a new book coming out from Sherry Jones about all four of the sisters in May. I believe it is called Four Sisters, All Queens
Hi I’m a new follower via the Fl bloggers I was with yesterday. Congrats on your March reading.
Wanted to say also congrats on the twin pregnancy. My identical twin girls are now 18 and freshman in college. It will fly by for you!
Thanks! So nice to “meet” you. Did you have fun yesterday?
Yay! You two should totally know each other with the twin girls things.
Yay! Glad the curse is broken. Did you hear “Miranda” while listening to Save Me? I always wonder when celebrities read books.
I was worried about that, but I really didn’t, actually.
GREAT month!
When I picked my April Fool’s number for today (telling people I read 17 books), I thought I picked a Jen number. Turns out I aimed low. I haven’t even read 23 books all year - can I have some of your curse-breaking powers?
Well, that would have been high for me in January or February, 23 books this month and a total of 55 books this year. As for curse breaking: BIBITY BOBITY BOO!
23 books is a great achievement! Well done!
[…] Faye’s The Gods of Gotham. Not only did I give it a rave review, but it was one of my two picks of the month for […]
[…] for a total of about 75 hours. Funnily enough, my print vs. audio numbers are almost identical to last month, but I read 1100 fewer pages and listened to 20 more hours. Interesting how that works […]
