At least, in the midst of insanity, people are pretty hilarious!

March in review! #booksky
April 1, 2025 at 3:01 PM
This morning I finished book no. 20 of March.

Definitely way better than I expected in a month with a new job. But I’ve been reading tons after I get home from work (instead of doomscrolling), yay! #booksky

60% done with my ARC of A Death on Corfu, and loving it! Fin-de-siècle, proper young English widow gets drawn into the murder of another family’s maid. #booksky #mysterybooks

Had to start a second template for March, since strangely everyone’s templates seem to stop at 16 books. 🤔

I guess if I’m going to keep avoiding reality this hard, I’m going to need to start making my own templates!

Hi yes I did start Sunrise on the Realing on Thursday, and have consumed all 5 Hunger Games books since then. This is fine. It’s definitely normal to read 5 books in 3 days. Yep.

Am now destroyed. 😭

Reading Elephants Can Remember by Agatha Christie while I rearrange my furniture on this blizzardy afternoon.

(Yes, it snows in northern Arizona. Accumulating at 2-3 inches an hour right now!)

Me: Why do J (11) and I have the same roller coaster face?

E (14): I’m pretty sure you just have the same face… in general.

Where are YOU reading today? #booksky
March 8, 2025 at 1:52 AM
I read 25 books in February!

But in March, our family is going to Disney and then I immediately start a new job, so I think my numbers will go way down. 😁

Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Like, literally please. We all need good times in the current hellscape.

Eating piles of pancakes with my children and husband was a good reminder of that. 💜💚💛
