Another month has flown by, and lots more reading has been done. This month I got through 25 books, everything from gorgeous new picture books (I only count ones which I have read AND reviewed for this monthly list) to an book called The 5 Second Rule, from Mel Robbins, a leading motivational speaker in the United States (and internationally). I can see why her book and her presentations – on Youtube and in-person are so popular. She has inspired me to get out of bed earlier and get stuff done this month. So thanks Mel – after reading the book, I even visited the dentist, which I’d put off for years.
Anyway, here’s what I read this month.
