I'm trying to finish two more books before midnight so I can declare my slump over and that I read 5 books instead of 3.

I did the math guys I know, surprising

Around 35 books were read by Jennifer.

The month only has 29 days.

Time to read poetry books-

Yeah, this was a pretty hectic reading month. I think it's partially time management and partially finding the kind of books which works for you.

My reading schedule in March is going to be easier than this. I plan to finish my Reading Challenge early in 2021 so I could have time to fill in book reviews for the books that I've read & enjoyed before 2021.

GUYS, I FINISHED NAMESAKE BEFORE MIDNIGHT.
