Back again today for a quick post about my March Reads! March is my birthday month &amp; I enjoy it a bit too much. Last year I read <a href=\"https:\/\/mindscapeinwords.com\/2020\/04\/march-reads-8-mini-book-reviews.html\">8 books in March<\/a>, but this year, I only read 2! I was in a book slump earlier in the month, which lasted way too long. I finally got out of it with Kristin Hannah\u2019s \u2018The Four Winds\u2019. I was grateful that it got me out of the slump, but otherwise I did not enjoy reading it at all. After this, I read \u2018The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue; over the long weekend. Now, this one I loved &amp; adored. I highly recommend reading it!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: &quot;Sitka Banner&quot;; font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><o:p>&nbsp;<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: &quot;Sitka Banner&quot;; font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\">Anyway, check out both the reviews below!<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: &quot;Sitka Banner&quot;; font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mindscapeinwords.com\/2021\/03\/the-four-winds-by-kristin-hannah-book.html\">The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah<\/a><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: &quot;Sitka Banner&quot;; font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mindscapeinwords.com\/2021\/03\/the-invisible-life-of-addie-larue-by-ve.html\">The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E.
