UPDATE: 4/1/16
I MADE IT!
April has begun, and I made it all the way here without reading anything new since January. I've learned a few things:
1) I need to restrain my library habit. I had way too many books out, and it means I don't get a chance to read the stuff on my shelves.
2) Having a reading-loving son really helps. I got several cool books in the mail, and even bought a few, but it was much easier to withstand the temptation to buy them when I could hand them to someone else to read for me.
3) This is a terrible time of year for the dare. I'm trying to get through Cybils books, I'm filling out a Hugo nomination ballet, and Patricia Briggs seems to release in March most years. I'm going to more this dare to the end of the year (since it won't be officially hosted any more), and that will give me a chance to clear stuff up. It's all challenge reading back then anyway.
