It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

March in review! #booksky

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

Super super cute!! Nicely difficult clues (well for my 11yo, not me, haha) and fun Miami setting.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!

Saaaame. I get so tired of the “are you just skimming?”
or suspicious “HOW do you read so many books?” messages on Insta. 🤦🏼‍♀️
Fast readers unite! Haha.

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.

I made two loaves of Irish soda bread, and after dinner my 11yo said “I’m so full I have to lie down”.

I think I got it right. 😂☘️
