I always say I can handle the physical pain as long as I’m doing okay mentally, and for whatever reason, this has always been the case for me. Around this time last, I started to experience some pretty nasty pain around my left hip in May. I saw a specialist who told me the pain could get better only if they injected some anti-inflammatory medication at different points of the muscle, but the doctors haven’t booked it yet. I had been doing decent until I started feeling emotional, and the muscle fatigue doesn’t help.
It’s the 15th today, and I have read 25 books so far. Not as many as I hoped because, as I said in other posts, I aimed to read 100 books by March, but I’m at my 77th read, so I doubt I can read 33 books in 13 days. On the bright side, I only read three books that weren’t from my Kindle, and some of them I had been there since 2017, so I’m proud I read them.
Writing poetry this month has been so fun, and I’m tempted to do March like that, too, but I believe my stats would suffer even more, not that it matters. Well, here’s me on the 28th, and I finished 55 books, of which 23 were self-published, and only five weren’t from my Kindle, so that’s a win for me. To my shock, I’m on my 103rd read, so I reached my goal, so I did manage to do that bookish goal I had.
My WordPress plan will be renewed this month, so if you see any issues, please let me know. I have the premium plan solely for storage since I haven’t had the time to delete some of my old content that no one cares about, so it is just taking space. I have 62,729 hearts from Tab for a Cause, and I can’t decide which charity to donate to. If you are a book reviewer, I have a question for you: what would you do if you were given a book to review and you didn’t have enough to write a review and when I tried to reread it, I DNF’ed it?
I just did a quick Google search of readathons happening this month, and the only one I’m low-key interested in is the M/M readathon, which I believe is a month-long readathon. Having said that, I would have to read more older books from my Kindle, and I got some WW2 Historical Fiction physical copies I want to read and was wondering if you would like to see a book haul from me?

I don’t know about other people, but the reason I stopped clicking on your poetry posts is the AI pictures. If I open a post and there is AI being used I click right back off. I’d rather read a post with no picture than one using AI. I’m not telling you this to be judgmental, to each his own. I’m just giving you my perspective and hope it doesn’t offend.
