I had an excellent month of reading, both with regard to quantity and quality. I read four books and listened to four others and each and every one was exceptionally good. I discovered a new mystery series, which I am eager to continue reading, and I also read my first 5 star book for the year. Can you guess which one it is? (No fair looking at Goodreads!) I'm terribly behind with my reviews, so bear with me. I'm going to try to get all of these posted before the end of the month.

One of these days I want to read The Rosie Project.
ReplyDeleteMy mom just finished The Rosie Project and thought it was great. You really should get to it, Kailana!
DeleteGlad u had such a quality reading month. Hope April is good as well. Love your tulips header.
ReplyDeleteApril is starting out well, Diane. Just need to make more time for the books and less computer time.
DeleteThanks for your comment about the tulips. It's an older photograph, but one I love. Our tulips are up, but haven't bloomed yet. The daffodils are, though!
You did have a great reading month. I have The Rosie Project downloaded to my Kindle and I've read Wonder (loved it). The rest of your reads are new to me!
ReplyDeletePeaceful Reader, you are in for a treat with The Rosie Project! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the sequel is just as entertaining.
DeleteA very good month for you! I still haven't gotten to The Rosie Project, but I will soon.
ReplyDeleteJenclair, it seems like a lot of folks are eager to read The Rosie Project. I don't think you'll be disappointed!
DeleteGlad you are enjoying Ruth and company. It was a good reading month for you! And your header photo - tulips!! I love tulips and it's too warm here for them.
ReplyDeleteKay, the picture of the tulips is from a few years ago. I can't wait for them to start blooming, although my daffodils are quite cheery right now. I really need to remember to plant more tulips next fall. Think I can remember before it's too cold? ;)
DeleteWow, March WAS a great month for you. I had my first 5 star read (at last), too. The tulips are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteJoAnn, I know! March was really amazing, as far as reading good books. April isn't starting off too shabby, either. I love my tulips, but wish they lasted longer. My daffodils seem to hang on much longer than the tulips.
DeleteYay for a great reading month! Hope you have a super April as well.
ReplyDeleteSo far, April is just as wonderful, Iliana. I plan to head out on the porch in a few minutes and continue with my current book (The Precious One by Marisa de los Santos). Then I'll head out for a walk and listen to A Canticle for Leibowitz. Hope you're having a good weekend!
