March sure was Reading Month for me. I read the highest number of books in one month for this year so far. I even cleaned the house once and worked out at least 3 days a week. I hope I can keep up this energy level for the rest of the year!
Stats: 13 books read, 10 fiction, 1 nonfiction, 1 drama, 1 poetry collection, 5 by women, 2 from My Big Fat Reading Project list, and 3 translated.
Favorites: The Sympathizer, Voices From Chernobyl, and Contenders.
Least favorite: Near to the Wild Heart.
Most of my reviews of these books have not made it to the blog yet, but stay tuned. I may have to post more often to get caught up!

What did you read in March? Which ones did you like, which ones not so much?
I read The Sympathizer last spring and thought it was wonderful. I look forward to reading your thoughts on it.
ReplyDeleteComing later this week!
DeleteDid you review Voices from Chernobyl? I would like to read your thoughts on it.
ReplyDeleteI just read a book that I reviewed in March. I'm reading super slowly since last year (I don't why; I wish I knew!) Thank goodness my movie viewing has increased otherwise I wouldn't be able to post anything.
My review of Voices From Chernobyl is in the queue to be posted soon. And I love that your movie reviews are coming on fast and furious! I am sure your reading will come back. Do you have a full time job?
DeleteNot at this time.
DeleteWell some of our blogger friends have been in reading slumps and are starting to come out of them. Maybe that will happen for you!
DeleteYou had a great March for books Judy. I loved Merchant of Venice back in my high school days :) Hope you have a great April.
ReplyDeleteThank you Diane for stopping by and for commenting!! We love comments right?
DeleteOkay I have wanted to read The Sympathizer -- so I ask is it tough or easy read? It sounds good and I have it on my radar. I look forward to your review of it. But I shouldn't find out too much, right? Your March was epic Judy ... hope you have a great April as well.
ReplyDeleteI found it not tough at all. I have read quite a few books about the Vietnam War so it was not new territory for me but also it is an engaging story showing all the political sides. My review will be up on the blog this week. Hubby is going to be out of town for two of the weeks in April and I hope to continue in epic style!
DeleteHow do you manage to find so much energy, Judy? Well, I read The Boston Girl and loved it.
ReplyDeleteOne day at a time. Some days all I can do is read. But working out does give me energy and keeps the blues away. Yay for The Boston Girl!
