March Recap

Sponsored a book give-away.  Nobody cared.  Then somebody expressed half-hearted (one ventricle) interest after the deadline, but I still had the book, so I'll be sending it off.  To Jessica Pare perhaps.  (Or maybe to the person who requested it.)

Donated a lot of books to the library.  I was donating the obscure ones and selling the marketable ones to a used bookstore, but the bookstore has closed. So now even the marketable ones have to be donated.

Had my A to Z Challenge almost done, but didn't like it much. Then at the last minute I decided to copy A.J. Sterkel, with Bookish Thoughts. So I'm attempting two A to Z themes, but I did most of the first one in advance.

Did some volunteering for Finish Chelsea's Run. Kind of sort of met her parents.  They raised over $150,000 for college scholarships and Girl Scout fees for girls who need them.

Nobody entered round three of my contest.  So the standings remain the same, as Led Zeppelin would say.

I finished nine books in March.  The best:

  1. Good luck with your A to Z Challenge! This is the first year I’m participating, and it’s a ton of work.

    1. Thank you.

      You seem to be a bit of a perfectionist.

  2. I had the best of intentions of completing the March task, but March just got away from me. Having the flu and missing 4 days of work really set me back. When are you revealing April's task?

    1. It should be up this week. It's another offline task, but you won't need a partner.

    1. Don't get your hopes up. Ha. I'm more organized this year, but less entertaining.
