March was an absolutely amazing month for reading, folks. I'm having a tough time picking a favorite...We're going with Cinder by Marissa Meyer, which earned a 4.5 stars from me and totally lived up to all the hype.
In case your curious, Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins was the close runner up. I recommend both, actually.
There were a couple of DNFs in March. I couldn't get into First Drop of Crimson by Jeaniene Frost. I find that, while I love Cat and Bones, I'm not crazy about her writing style in other contexts. That happens to me sometimes. I also barely got into Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick, finding it too stupid to be worth the library fees it would have cost me to keep it. I think my enjoyment of Hush, Hush, which was based on a lot of guilty pleasure, was in fact a fluke.
So what's coming up in April?
First of all, on April 3, you'll see my review of Night Sky by Jolene Perry go live. I agreed to read it for the book tour, and ended up really loving it. I can't seem to get enough contemporary romance lately.
--66% read, and I'm not going to lie, it does not suck. The last book had me worried that the series might be on a hopeless downward spiral...but this one does not suck.Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake
--About 50% done. This one came really highly recommended. I'm excited to see where the story goes.The Next Door Boys by Jolene B. Perry
--7% done. I liked Night Sky so much, I just really wanted more from this author.Princess Charming by Nicole Jordan
Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier
Young Avengers by Allan Heinberg
(A Things I Read For Love Review)Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins
The Masque of the Black Tulip by Lauren Willig
Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen
Kind of a different mix this month, but I'm excited about it. Happy April, everyone!
I'm glad that you had such a great reading month in March. And I look forward to hearing what you think about Along for the Ride as I really enjoyed that one.
ReplyDeleteI hope April is just as good to you as March was :)
Yeah, I found Sarah Dessen's name on an "If you like Stephanie Perkins, you'll like..." type of list, and I'm so excited to try her out. I'm glad you liked it!
