Month in Review: March 2019

Somehow it's time for another monthly wrap-up! March isn't quite over, but I figured it's safe to go ahead and make my monthly wrap-up. I don't plan to finish any more books by the end of the weekend, but if I do then I'll just add them onto next month's wrap-up. I've been in a bit of a weird book slump over the past few months and I'm not entirely sure why--I think I finally got a little burnt out on all the fantasy I'd been reading, so I've been foraying a bit into other genres that I enjoy. I also tend to end up reading nonfiction in the spring, so maybe I'll pick up some of that soon. Because of my slump, though, I'm surprised by how many books I ended up reading this month... but I won't complain. How was your reading month? Has anyone else been in a slump lately?

I decided to revamp my wrap-ups a little, nothing huge just yet, but just minor things in the format that have been bothering me for a while. Blogger doesn't make it the easiest to mess around with formatting, so we'll see how crazy I get in the future. That being said, I decided to add the source for the books I read, largely as a way for me to keep better track of where I'm getting the books I'm reading, but also because I know I enjoy seeing when other bloggers do it, so why not?

In non-bookish family news and since it's mostly known by all of my family, I thought I'd share that my sister is pregnant! This will be her and her husband's first child and she's due in October. I've never been much of a kid person, but I am pretty damn excited to be an aunt and I'm going to do my best to be a good one! And to supply my new niece/nephew with endless books.
