Monthly Recap: March 2013

And there goes March. This was a rocky month for me. I got in a reading slump and only wrote one review all month! *gasp* I know, its sad. I even took a break for a week with no posting... So yeah bad month. BUT I am back on track and ready for an awesome, productive, bookish April! Pssst...plus my birthday is this month, so it has to be awesome. Also, Google is rumored to be getting rid of GFC so just to be safe you can follow me via Bloglovin' or email. Once I figure out how to get a Google+ button I will get that too.

Quote of the Month:
So, Clockwork Princess came out this month and I have yet to get it. But in its honor here is one of my favorite quotes from Clockwork Angel:

“We live and breathe words. .... It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone. They could be honest with me, and I with them. Reading your words, what you wrote, how you were lonely sometimes and afraid, but always brave; the way you saw the world, its colors and textures and sounds, I felt--I felt the way you thought, hoped, felt, dreamt. I felt I was dreaming and thinking and feeling with you. I dreamed what you dreamed, wanted what you wanted--and then I realized that truly I just wanted you.”

  1. HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY! I hate it when I go into a reading slump. I got into one and it took me awhile until I got out. TT _____ TT It was a terrible experience. Also I have heard of Google Reader shutting down but not GFC, that's what I heard. Still, Google's messed up. DX

    I really want to read your review of The Knife of Never Letting Go! Well, maybe you won't write it, but I still want to hear your thoughts....

    1. THANK YOU!!!! And yeah, reading slumps suck. But i'm starting to pick back up with reading. *cheers* I hope it is just google reader shutting down, but still google is messing all their stuff up, and I just like bloglovin' better. I will definitely do a review of The Knife of Never Letting Go!
