March has been an okay month. My husband is back on furlough as his working from home ended in February so we’ve been watching a lot of Netflix. We’ve only just discovered Schitt’s Creek and it’s so good! We’ve also somehow become quite addicted to The Chase!
We’ve been thinking about buying Monopoly recently but when we spotted the David Bowie edition we simply had to get to it right away! It arrived this week and we’ve already played one game – it was a lot of fun.
I’m pleasantly surprised to discover how many books I managed to read (or finish reading as some of these books were started earlier in the year) throughout March. I’m still not picking up books as often as is normal for me but when I do get into a book I am finding my concentration is better than it was so fingers crossed that this horrible reading slump is on its way out. I did listen to quite a lot of audio books and that is really working for me at the moment so I hope to listen to more in April!

How was your March? I hope it was okay, it still feels like life is very far from normal so I hope you’re all doing alright. I’d love to know what you’ve been reading over the last month or so. 🙂
Well done on such a great month! I am reading The Last Thing to Burn this month and I am so excited! I’ve heard lots of great things!
You had a great reading month, Hayley. David Bowie version of Monopoly, that sounds like a lot of fun.
That’s a lovely lot of books! I’ve read some good ones, I just really enjoyed The Rise of the Ultra Runners by Adharanand Finn – and I’m sorry to say some of that enjoyment is because he’s been a bit egotistical in other books and going off road for long runs really kicks his arse, which is amusing to read. Also have read some great Persephones and finally got rid of the last 2019 book on my TBR …
Some great reads there Hayley. Re watching the TV although we’ve still been working, we’ve found ourselves recording and watching Richard Osman’s House of Games. Just half an hour of fun.
Such an excellent selection of books! Many of these are on my TBR and I LOVED The Last Thing To Burn. I hope April will treat you well! xx
