First post of March. This month, the focus is on Slow Death by Rubber Duck by Rick Smith and Bruce Lourie.
Reviews up!
I'm still reading through a couple of the books from last week. I didn't get much reading done really. I have a lot of catching up to do.
The Beauty of Humanity Movement by Camilla Gibb: I meant to finish this book by yesterday, but that didn't really happen. But I have a day or two's worth to get through, so I should be done soon.
Slow Death by Rubber Duck by Rick Smith and Bruce Lourie: I have the last bit of this book still left - I didn't have a chance to read this since Friday. Still I have the gist covered and it shouldn't take me long to finish it.
The Four Ms. Bradwells by Meg Waite Clayton: I'm not entirely sure that this book is for me, but I've heard plenty of good reviews, so I'm giving it a try!
