March Down for the Count!

Well now, didn't March absolutely suck?  And seriously, does April look much better?  However, I can at least say I had a pretty stellar reading month so lets look at the recap.

SNUG - A Collection of Comics About Dating Your Best Friend: Catana Chetwynd (3/5)

The Other Side of Fear (XK9 Novella): Jan Gephardt (5/5)

The Forever House: Tim Waggoner (5/5)

Roo: Alan Baxter (3/5)

A Home For Goddesses and Dogs: Leslie Conner (4/5)

Eight Perfect Murders: Peter Swanson (4/5)

Blackwood: Michael Farris Smith (4/5)

When We Were Vikings: Andrew David MacDonald (4/5)

Kindness Goes Unpunished (Walt Longmire #3): Craig Johnson (3/5)

Mexico Street: Simone Buchholtz (4/5)

Riverdale - The Maple Murders: Micol Ostow (3/5)

Dead Ringer: Nicola Martic (4/5)

Containment: Vanda Symon (4/5)

So overall I read 13 books.  I don't know how but do know I can credit some of them to Assassin's Creed: Odyssey.  Mr. Barb has been playing it a lot so I read while he plays.  It's hard to pick a favorite because there were so many good ones but I really did love The Other Side of Fear.  My biggest surprise was When We Were Vikings and my biggest disappointment might have been Roo because I expected so much more.  

So on to April.  Can the world please get a break?

March Down For the Count!

So for a while, I was actually concerned about the amount of books I read in March.  I started off really strong probably because Mr. Barb had surgery early in the month and I took off several days to help him.  While doing so, I basically sat around and read while he watched TV so I could be close by if he needed anything.  I also read while waiting for his outpatient procedure and then while he was in recovery.  But then I picked up a book that kind of dragged me down.  However, imagine my surprised when I looked at my tally and realized I read 10 books in March.  Also, some challenges are looking pretty good while others need more focus.  So on to the recap!

The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein: Kiersten White 4/5

(Dancing with Fantasy - Necromancers, Library Lovers)

My Boyfriend is a Bear: Pamela Ribon 3/5

Please Don't Feed the Mayor: Sue Pethick 4/5

I really can't believe I didn't have a 5/5  read all month but I had a few 4/5.  I think my favorite was "The Chrysalis" closely followed by "Magic Strikes."  My least favorite had to be "In the Valley of the Sun" which was so disappointing because I wanted to love it.

TOTAL PAGE COUNT: 2838
