Book Blogger Organization Challenge:

I really didn't work on my blog organization as much as I would have liked this month.
I did weed out a few books off of my Goodreads TBR that I thought I would never read. (Probably removed about 50 books from the long list.)
And I finished adding a search description to all of the Cutie Pie's Shelf children's books reviews.
I also made a few design changes.

Some Personal Things:

March was very busy for us. 

And even though I was able to get quite a bit of reading done, I didn't blog as much as I wanted to. 

(Meaning I didn't organize as much, write as many reviews and posts, and I AM WAY BEHIND on responding to comments and commenting back on other blogs.)

Our entire household ended up getting sick with a stomach bug. One right after another. I was the last one to catch it. And so I was sick for almost a week. Which really cut into my reading and blogging time. I don't feel like doing ANYTHING when I am sick. I pretty much tried to get as much rest as I could and watched some TV. 

And I also experienced some laptop issues. My battery decided to go into permanent failure (along with a few other issues) so it took about a week to fix that situation. I am so glad I now have a new battery so I can go back to using my laptop without worrying about losing power or getting accidentally unplugged. 

On a happier note. Cutie Pie brought home all A's on her report card again this 9 weeks! So I am super proud of her and her continued success in 2nd grade. I can't believe that there is only 1 more 9 week period of school then she will be out for the summer. Where has the time gone?!?

I really hope to get a bunch of back dated reviews typed up and posted in April. As well as a bunch of new reviews. And I also hope to catch up on commenting.

I hope everyone has a lovely April! Happy Reading!
