Total pages read for the week: 832
Total number of books for the year: 16. Spring Break is over, and despite hurting my back and being stuck on the couch, I didn’t get as much reading done as I thought I would. I also didn’t finish most of my current reads. That’s ok, though. I watched a lot of TV, and I read a book that had nothing to do with most of my challenges. It was a recommendation from Erika at Book Punks. Anyway, my mind wasn’t in the right place to read critically, and I just wanted something to enjoy while I wasn’t able to go anywhere or do much of anything. Stardust was that book. I won’t be reviewing it because I deliberately didn’t take any notes or do any thinking about it after I finished it. I enjoyed it enough to give it 4 stars on Goodreads, and that’s all that matters.
