4/6 - March Vlog Style Wrap Up | 11 Books in March 2021 | Ranting About Newer Releases | New Favorite Book
Hi, I’m Mo.
My reading wrap up for march is my biggest so far in 2021. I read 11 books this month. I get a little ranty about some of them! But I might have found a new favorite as well!
Even though I didn't love every book I read this month, I had a really great reading month! I am honing in on my reading tastes and I think that I don't really like contemporary mysteries/thrillers! I also read some backlist mysteries that I liked so much more!! I read a picture book. This wrap up also includes my BooTube Spin Spin 1 book! You can check out my BookTube Spin vlog here: https://youtu.be/DD3hiNMNHF8 I also read a comic, which I totally failed to explain the plot of. It's a great Batman book! You should read it if you like Batman! What is your favorite Batman book? What did you read this month? What was your favorite book this month? Did you read any of the books I read? Share your thoughts!
Thanks for joining me today! I post videos three times a week. I post about creative simple living: books, cats, zero waste, bullet journaling, beach life, and more!

4/8 - March Readathons Wrap Up | March Mystery Madness | 3 Readathons are Too Many? | 2021
Hi, I’m Mo.
I participated in 3 readathons this month (march 2021)! That might have been too many! I loved March Mystery Madness!
Too Fond Of Books always does great readathon and March Mystery Madness (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZNcl5UKlAQ&t=3s) is no different! She makes so many videos to help you be inspired for the readathon! I had sooo much fun reading lots of mysteries in March. I read 8 books out of the 9 prompts for this challenge. I read a few golden age mysteries, some from the 60s and 70s and some contemporary mystery/thrillers. Some I really liked and some I didn't like too much. I also tried my hand on the Backlist Readathon (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL9FqaaHuZ0) which I only read 3 books for. I'm going to keep it on my radar for next year, tho, and hopefully do better! Lastly I had the March Of The Moderns (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jIgcjJID8M) in my head, too but was only able to read one book for that. Did you participate in any readathons or challenges this month?

4/11 - 1 More Month to Zero Waste | Food Scraps and COMPOST | April 2021 | Free and Easy Zero Waste
Hi, I’m Mo.
It's April and time for 1 More Month of Zero Waste! Our monthly challenge towards a free and easy zero waste lifestyle! If you think you can't compost, I'm here to tell you you can!!
For April we are examining our food and identifying how we can cut down on food scraps and how we can learn to reduce food waste by composting! Composting is free and easy and accessible to almost anyone with a little leg work or elbow grease! It's a great way to reduce food waste and keep food out of landfill and traditional trash. The first step in any zero waste challenge is to examine what we are wasting and how we can reduce. By eating all our leftovers, only making what we need, and being mindful of the waste we are creating, we can learn ways to utilize our food better! Making food from food scraps is a great way to reduce waste as well! Making veggie stock or meals with scraps are great options! Having a compost pile, or donating your compost to a local garden, farmers market, or a friend who gardens is super easy! Does your city have curbside composting? Sometimes this is a service that you have to sign up for. The challenge this month will be to look into ways to reduce your food waste, how to compost in your area and for your situation. Make sure to share your progress in the comments!
