I’m really happy with my reading this month because I read a fiction novel that was at a much higher level than the books I usually read. I really think this will help me with my cold reads and my writing in general. I’m still working on completing my goals from last month because my main focus recently has been on Macbeth, the text I’m studying in English. Keeping up with the Shakespearian language and getting to the matter of the scenes and text  has been quite difficult, but as long as I keep up with my notes and studying I should be fine.
