An image titled 'March Books' displays six book covers with star ratings. The books are 'The Trip,' 'Keep Your Friends Close,' 'The Other Mrs.,' 'The Black Girl Survives in This One,' 'Don't Believe It,' and 'When You Disappeared,' each rated between 3 and 3.5 stars.

I’ve been in a reading slump lately and haven’t been reading as much as I usually do. I only read 6 books this month and it was a struggle to get through them, not because they weren’t good, I just couldn’t focus. Hopefully next month is better. Happy Reading!
