Reader Round Up: March
I can tell how stressed I am by how many books I read in a month. I used to count by dark chocolate Dove bars. Books are less invasive on the waistline.
I can also measure my stress level by the types of books I read.

A baker’s dozen of books. All over the place. I’m unable to comment on March. I do appreciate how many five star reads I encountered. Nothing like a run of really satisfying books to get one through the murkiness of March. Maybe the Ides have it–March is not a month to mess with.
Good thing it’s April.

‘Books are less invasive on the waistline’ LOL
Although chocolate is tastier, no matter how many accolades books receive as being food and nourishment
😀 You read it!
If everyone read children’s books to relieve stress the world would be a better place.
Shout out and amen to that😉
