Note: I quit linking titles to that big site that funds the rich dude and his space wars with other rich dudes. I’ve linked to Goodreads, but if you’re looking to support independent bookstores, my favorite local shop is Old Town Books (they ship!), and you can support my favorite podcast and a local shop of your choosing through their Bookshop.org link at KickBezosInTheBalls.org. And you can never go wrong with your local library!

Reading Goals:
1. Read 36 books – I finished 6 books toward my Goodreads Challenge.
2. Decrease my TBR –
- Jan 1: 64 physical / 22 Kindle
- Feb 1: 64/23
- Feb 28: 64/23
- Apr 1: 64/23
3. Read 12 not-novels –
- Jan: 5 (1 development, 3 memoir, 1 nonfiction—and 4 audiobooks)
- Feb: 2 (2 memoir/audiobook)
- Mar: (1 memoir + 2 other audiobooks)
4. Read 22 minutes per day – I haven’t missed any days. Counting my 2021 goal of reading 21 minutes per day, I’m on a 197-day streak.
March was great, as expected. I finished more audiobook listening than expected due to lousy weather. No idea what April will bring, so I’ll commit to 4 books.
