March Reading Wrap-Up

Is it really April already? I’m in total denial that another year is already 25% over. Sheesh, time really does fly as you get older. (Which freaks me out because if it’s going this quickly while I’m still in my mid-20s, what’s it going to be like in another couple decades? Wow.)

Anyway, this was a pretty great reading month. I read nine books, which puts me back on track toward my goal of 100 for the year. There was some nice variety, and I really enjoyed each book.  Here’s what I read this month, which each cover linked to my review (except for The Angel’s Game, which I’m going to hold off on until the release date gets a little closer).

   

I like it when a month ends up this way, where fiction and nonfiction reads are almost equal. It’s always nice to have that balance. Because they were all so good, it’s going to be hard to pick favorites, but that’s a problem I’m willing to have.

The Angel’s Game was hands-down the best novel I read this month (seriously, it’s phenomenal), but since I won’t review it for a little while, I’m going to pick The Brightest Moon of the Century as my favorite fiction book of the month. There was nothing I didn’t like about it, and I’m already looking forward to reading it again.

My nonfiction selections weren’t quite as varied as they usually are because I wanted to focus on women’s issues for Women’s History Month. The Purity Myth was easily my favorite read—and one that I think pretty much everyone could benefit from reading—so don’t forget to enter my giveaway!

What was the best book you read in March? The worst book? Any total wallbangers?
