March recap

First of all, my sidebar widget lists aren't up-to-date because (1) I've been neglecting the blog and (2) I got an inexplicable error message each time I've tried to update them today. With any luck this issue will get resolved sometime in the near future.

Now for a bit of disclosure -

BEWARE!
1. affiliate links (for more information see this post)
2. mentions of books I may have received for free
