LazyDayLit's MARCH 2023 Reading WrapUp & Challenge Progress


GOODBYE MARCH! 

Spring hit early for us so we've been extra busy in the garden and on our usual hiking adventures but I was also able to read rather consistently and finished 24 books. 

Out of those 24 books, 16 were fiction, 8 were nonfiction.
Out of those 16 fiction novels, 5 were graphic novels, and out of those 8 nonfiction reads, 5 were poetry collections. 

I read a few books from trans authors during the #transrightsreadathon and for Trans Visibility Day
and
also made a lot of progress in the year-long challenges I participate in (more info below the book covers).
