Let‘s start with the end of the world, why don‘t we? Get it over with and move on to more interesting things.

[I‘ve been looking forward to reading this book again since I finished this series for the first time back in February, so this is where I begin the end of my 2019 . . .]

The only madness in my March this year was the fact that I only finished three (3) books! Between traveling with the baby for two weeks & various family commitments upon our return home from vacation, I did not get much reading time in last month. Fingers crossed that April is more productive bibliographically!

Total: three (3) books [completed]

January 2019 reads roundup! Tagged book was read on #kindle. Total of ten books, far better than I could have anticipated when I set my goal of 52 books for the year. No audiobooks in January, but I tend to do more of those when I‘m doing more #audiowalking during non-frigid weather.

I‘m curious: when y‘all meet a reading goal, do you revise and bump your goal up or just keep reading and see by how much you surpass your original goal?
