• Fiction/Non-Fiction: 10 fiction / 5 non-fiction. 1 play.
• Diversity:  3 BIPOC. 5 books by women.
• Library books vs. books I owned (and thus removed from the home abode): 8 library books, 7 owned books (whee!) and 2 e-books.

So I had a productive reading month which was really fun. Plus, I also pulled out some cross-stitch and finally finished up a project that I’ve working on for quite a while. Just need to get it framed and then it’s done. 🙂
