During the month of March, I got through quite a few books as I was recovering from a minor sinus procedure (and couldn't really do anything except lay on the couch). I had some bang-up reads this month, including a few that are contenders to make my end-of-year list of favorites! You'll notice that I've… Continue reading March 2024 Reads

So I figured I'd combine it with September, which ended up being my most productive reading month this entire year. So… Continue reading August & September 2023 Reads
