Well, goodness sakes! This month was definitely one for the books! This COVID-19 pandemic has put everything into a tailspin! I’m sure most of you all are just like me and under a stay at home order of some kind. While I am designated as an essential worker due the type of government contracts I work on, I am fortunate enough to be able to do my work from home. I have only been out of my house twice since March 12 and both times were to get groceries. It is very surreal. As an introvert, staying at home really isn’t a big deal to me; however, knowing I can’t or shouldn’t go out puts a different spin on things for sure. I thought the one silver lining from this whole crazy thing would be that I would have more time to read, but strangely I haven’t read more… I’ve actually read a little less than normal. I think I keep trying to convince myself that I am not stressed about the whole situation, but in reality I guess I am. Not much usually keeps me from reading!
Now the details! Below you will find a summary of my March reading, upcoming books, and my reading stats so far this year.
