It is time to share what I read in March.
I read six books in March, which is below my monthly reading goal for the year, but I am still counting it as a good reading month.
I listened to two audiobooks and had a five-star fiction read and a five-star nonfiction read.
I did not finish the YA book I was reading, but I am almost done, so I should have two YA books for my April reads.
Now for what I read in March. I am sharing a little bit about each book, but you can click the book title for more information and a complete review.
March Reading
Fiction
The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion, Vol. 8. I had planned to read this series slowly, but after reading books 6 and 7, I knew I had to read book 8. Book 8 was so good! I know I keep talking about this series, but it really is so good.
Famous For A Living Melissa Ferguson. This is the third Melissa Ferguson book I have read in the last two months. I think she is my new favorite rom-com writer.
All Booked Up by Melody Carlson. I had high hopes for this one, but it just wasn’t for me. I struggled to like the characters. I also struggled with the writing because I didn’t feel like I was there in the Pacific Northwest or in the historic home that was the setting. I think I am in the minority on this one, though.
Nonfiction
All About Allergies by Zachary Rubin, MD. This nonfiction book was a five-star read for me. I did a long book review of it. If you have allergies or asthma or have a child who does, I think you will find this book helpful.
Audiobooks
At Home In Mitford by Jan Karon. It is no secret that I love the Mitford series by Jan Karon. I have talked about the At Home in Mitford series, and the Mitford books vs the movie.
I think it has been around ten years since I read the first book in the Mitford series, so when I was looking for an audiobook to listen to this month, I decided it was the perfect time to reread it, but this time on audio.
I loved this book on audio. It was a fun way to reread it. I really enjoyed going back to the beginning of Father Tim’s life in Mitford.
If you love cozy comfort reads or books about small towns, and have not read Mitford, you should give it a try.
Can’t Nothing Bring Me Down by Ida Keeling. This book was not what I expected, but it was still a memoir that I enjoyed.
It is Ida Keeling’s memoir of growing up in New York during the depression, having kids, getting married, losing her sons to violence, and eventually finding a love of running to overcome the difficulties of life. I thought this book was about running, but it is more of a memoir about overcoming life’s difficulties.
I would love to hear what you have been reading!
