What I’ve been up to this month

Same old! I can’t believe it’s March already. Where the heck did February go?!

I feel like I’m still doing an awesome job of maintaining balance with my hobbies! I haven’t done quite as much with the blog as I’d hoped, but I’m staying caught up on reviews and Top Ten Tuesday posts. I’ve been doing good at posting daily on bookstagram and I’m working on doing better at responding to comments. And super exciting – Jord approached me to do a collab! Yay!
