*Platypire Read-A-Thon* January/February 2018 Results

So January is over, as is February, and I never posted a results post for January, so I'm just going to combine the two. My hopes and dreams for having more free time to get caught up on blogging while living with my parents just didn't pan out at ALL. Instead I got even further behind, and now that we've closed on a house and had our household goods delivered, I'm busy with unpacking nonsense to include washing all of our clothes and linens and all of our dishes because they have been in boxes on trucks and a boat for two months (yuck!).

But I've found a few minutes to sit down and try to sort all this out. Please bear with me as I try to figure out what I did in the past couple months.

I didn't bother to add the new books for my TBR list yet as I've always saved those for the newest list anyway. They will be added to March's post which I should be getting posted later today (as it is just now after midnight for me on Thursday morning). In the meantime, I've turned into a popsicle while building this post in my unfinished basement where my office is now located, so I'm going to head upstairs to read. - Katie
