Summary: Another bad month for reading and blogging — too much to do and too little free time. I only read or listened to 12 books in March, including 4 first-time reads and 8 rereads. I posted only two reviews, both for books I read earlier in the year (The Queens of Crime and Nobody’s Baby.) I started at least three books that I set aside because they weren’t right for my mood; I consider them “hibernating” rather than DNF’d, because I do intend to get back to them at some point.

Other Goals and Resolutions
Unpack and reorganize my book collection: I took several more boxes to the used bookstore and library booksale in February.
Catalog my books: I spent more time pruning books than cataloging them, but I did get a few more catalogued. Physical books catalogued so far (since 2025): 351.

Well you are doing the right things. I think 351 is a lot to have catalogued. As long as you are enjoying your reading it is all good.

I put books in hibernation sometimes, too. There are times when I know I’ll like a book better in a different mood, and DNFing isn’t the right choice… but neither is reading the book in the wrong mood.
I still think your 12 books in March is a good reading month, though, especially considering everything else going on right now.
