March Reading Challenge Recap

We're three months into the year so it's a good time to remind you all one more time that we're doing something different with our monthly wrap-ups in 2020. Instead of one large post, we're doing a few small ones including a monthly reading challenge recap at the end of the month to keep you all updated on our progress with our challenges. Wish us luck!

With all the Covid-19 craziness that's happened in the last month, us Weres didn't get as much reading done as we had hoped. But we still made some progress on our reading challenges! We hope you all are safe and reading a ton of books under quarantine.
