What I’m Reading in March

Couple of carryovers from last month, friends! But at least we know that I’ll never run out of things to read, amirite? My March TBR is packed with goodies!

Kindle

March TBR

Definitely want to get into these two books: They sound fun, fast-paced, and intriguing. ALL OVER IT.

Hardcopies

March TBR

WOO, lots of awesome books in this pile! I’ve just started THE DARKEST PART OF THE FOREST and I’m already COMPLETELY feeling it. ANNA is our March On the Same Page book (YAY!), but hopefully we’ll also get to read (reread for me) SERAPHINA so that I can dive headfirst into SHADOWSCALE without being totally lost. I’ve heard lots of good things about THE SIN EATER’S DAUGHTER and FAIREST, too, of course.  I’m hoping to get to the new Gayle as well. WHEW!

Audiobook

March TBR

I’m really loving this series, guys. In fact, I’m almost finished with this book–probably will be done with it this week. Which means I’ll have to decide if I want to start book 2 in Wheel of Time or something else. Decisions, decisions.

What are YOU reading this month?

March Recap

Soooo, little bit behind with this one. As you can tell. I had a busy end of the month of March because I went on VACATION HUZZAH! And I’ve been a little busy getting back into the swing of things. Vacation hangover, as it were. But as always, a recap is in order, so here we are. YAY!

Legit, SORROW’S KNOT is one of my favorite books that I’ve read this year.

CRUEL BEAUTY was lovely. OH HAI IGNIFEX.

On the Same Page this month was all about the excellent LIES OF LOCKE LAMORA. Thief love, right this way!

recapFor shame! I’ve never read a book by these ten authors.

There are a crap-ton of great books coming out this spring, but these are the ten I’m most dying to read.

recapTHE WIZARD’S PROMISE just sounds amazing, and THAT COVER. *dies*

I’m always down for a fairy tale retelling, and STITCHING SNOW sounds super.

Tripping Over March

Mar 3

March

Oh friends, March is looking UP bookwise. So many great books coming out this month. It was harder than usual to narrow down my most anticipated titles, but I think I’ve got some pretty excellent sounding books to look forward to.

The Winner's Curse Marie Rutkoski MarchCheating a touch because I’ve already read this one, but honestly. It was excellent, and so much a fantasy after my own heart. My review will be up very soon, but take my (and, well, just about everyone else’s) word for it: THE WINNER’S CURSE is amazing. (March 4, 2014 from Macmillan)

Alex Wayfare_march.pngI’ve been waiting on this one, friends, because OMG TIME TRAVEL. Visions of the past. A girl who visits new time periods in each of her lives and meets the same boy every time. I’m reading this one soon because it sounds so incredible. (March 4 from Strange Chemistry)

Strange Sweet Song Ari Rule MarchThis book just sounds slightly creepy and mysterious and bewitching. I love the angle with the opera singing young girl, plus it’s got a boarding school and a FOREST (those are always creepy and a place where there are hidden SEKRETS), and the synopsis uses the word “gothic.” Yes, please. (March 11 from St. Martin’s Griffin)

Side Effects May Vary Julie Murphy MarchWhat an excellent, thought-provoking concept: A girl who believes she’s on death’s door decides to live her life with no thought for consequences. Except then WHOOPS her cancer goes into remission and she’s left with all kinds of messes to deal with. (March 18 from Balzer + Bray)

Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender Leslye Walton MarchI don’t even know how I could describe this book to you guys: it sounds like magical realism with family curses, love, and a young girl who is born with wings. I’m loving the fact that the action in this book seems to turn on something that happens on the Summer Solstice because that sounds magical. I’m really looking forward to seeing what’s up with this one. (March 25 from Candlewick)
