Happy March, everyone! What are you reading this month? I'm in the middle of The Deception of the Emerald Ring by Lauren Willig. Please share your March reads below!

I'm reading Kiss of the Spider Woman on paper and am just about to start Five on a Treasure island on audio.

Just finished the super wonderful Lonely Hearts Hotel and now I'm starting Hotline, which is one of the CBC Canada Reads books for later this month

No Man's Land: 1918, The Last Year of the Great War (by John Toland; narrated by Grover Gardner) - NF about Operation Michael and Operation Georgette... The last German offensive in WWI,

I have started Stardust by Joseph Cannon and am impressed with it so far. Post-WWII Hollywood.

I finished Where the River Ends by Charles Martin and am starting P.S. I Love You by Cecelia Ahern. And I still have to the Bright Edge of the World by Eowyn Ivey left over to finish.

I'm reading Too Many Men by Lily Brett. It's going slowly because it's about the Holocaust - I can't read too much at a time. For contrast I'm reading Captain Blood by Rafael Sabatini.

I am now reading Raft of Stars by Andrew Graff which appears to be right in my wheelhouse - a coming-of-age, survival story. I am also reading a book of short stories by Bonnie Jo Campbell entitled Mothers Tell Your Daughters.

I'm re-reading Children of the Night by Mercedes Lackey. A heroine, pre-Buffy, who deals with the paranormal and studies martial arts - definitely influenced the genre and upped the game of urban fantasy.

still trying to finish the brothers ashkenazi and would like to start books of Jacob Wel see how it goes!

While on vacation, I've managed to read a few more books: Guiltless by Viveca Sten, Albert of Adelaide by Howard Anderson, The Nature of Fragile Things by Susan Meissner, and Our Darkest Night by Jennifer Robson.

I'm enjoying a historical romance twofer from Mary Balogh's backlist, The Temporary Wife / A Promise of Spring.

I've just started The House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne and started a re-read of Necropolis by Jordan L. Hawk. I don't often read classics but thought I'd give it a go. I picked up Seven Gables in Salem at the house itself years ago and have been procrastinating ever since.

Magnolia palace for a book group

I am reading A Season of Spells by Sylvia Izzo Hunter, the final book in her Noctis Magicae trilogy. I really loved book 1 but was disappointed in book 2, so I'm curious to see where I'll land with this one!

Starting The Great Swindle (by Pierre Lemaitre; translated from the French by Frank Wynne)— Prix Goncourt winning Historical Fiction set at the end of WWI

Just started Ashes to Ashes, Crust to Crust for NetGalley. Still reading Monastic Practices which is annoying me with the condescending tone of how the monks know better how to do self-discipline, mental prayer, you name it, and the rest of us are too busy with our busy lives to be able to master these practices as well. Also reading At Bertram's Hotel by Dame Agatha.

Today I started The Penelopiad, by Margaret Atwood.

read that, liked it.

I'm halfway through The Book of Goose, and four library holds that I expected not to be ready until next month came in: Earth's the Right Place for Love, The White Lady, Trespasses, and 48 Clues into the Disappearance of My Sister. I'm pretty sure one of these will be next, but which one?

Finished listening to The Decameron (by Giovanni Boccaccio; narrated by Simon Russell Beale as Boccaccio and a Full Cast) - At 28+ hours long, it took me a couple weeks to make my way through it!
Next up in audio: Thirteen Reasons Why (by Jay Asher; narrated by Debra Wiseman & Joel Johnstone).

Reading The Cat Who Went to Heaven by Elizabeth Jane Coatsworth. I also hear Hamish Macbeth calling to me, so off to my list! Still trying to finish Monastic Practices.

Last week I couldn't read a lot because of migraines, so I am still in the middle of The Golden Compass, but I am enjoying it a lot. I have also started Die Straßen von Wilna by Czesław Miłosz. I finished the first part, which describes the history of Vilnius, and hope to read the remaining two parts next week when we are going to travel there.

As I finished Spare two days ago, I also started a new audiobook: The Autumn Bride by Anne Gracie, and I like it very much so far. It was a BB by christina_reads.

Today I also finished Gedichte - Eine Auswahl, a collection of poems by Johannes Bobrowski. I am still undecided about which poetry collection to choose after this and will probably wait a few days.

fair play and in my fathers court

I finished The Last Coyote and am nearly through Head On by John Scalzi. Once I'm done with it I'll start reading Roses are Red which I figure will be quick enough to finish this week. I do enjoy Patterson's writing style.

>62 MissBrangwen: I'm glad you are liking The Autumn Bride!

I'm currently reading The Case Is Closed by Patricia Wentworth and finding it pretty delightful so far.

I finished Monastic Practices and gave up on The Christie Caper, which had too many obscure quotes from and references to mysteries. These got in the way of the plot for me. I did not like the main character Annie, as she always seemed to be angry or miffed about something. Too bad, since I was looking forward to the book and it had an interesting premise of a mystery conference.

I finished up Thirteen Reasons Why (by Jay Asher; narrated by Debra Wiseman & Joel Johnstone) last night and;
Started Troubles (Empire Trilogy #1; by J.G. Farrell; narrated by Kevin Hely) this morning.

I am closing out the month with a book of western short stories, Hard Ride by Elmer Kelton. I will probably start April off with a library book, Dear Mrs. Bird by AJ Pearce.
