Books I Read - March 2017

Where has the time gone? It's now for another month's recap. And I did get a lot read for March. Two Louisiana trips, what can I say? ;)

The book that stood out the most to me in my March reading was...

No, I'm not going to college. ;) But this book came up for review, and as I know a few kids heading to college this fall, I wanted to see if anything good was out there. I thoroughly enjoyed this book (you can see why here)

Another book that really stood out to me is also a non-fiction...

Wow. I loved reading about the World War II heroes! I'm very glad I got this book. (Full review here)

And then, the fiction that stood out to me...

I actually worked on reading this book since February, but a few review commitment books got in the way. It was a slow start, and I found the backstory a little draggy... but after I finished the entire book. Wow. It was really an amazing read. You can read more of my thoughts here.

After having a friend badger me to read Chautona Havig, I caved in (okay, okay, honest truth: Chautona put a book up to review and I grabbed it cause I've been wanting to read her). Since the review book was #2 in a series, I borrowed book #1 and read them both. ;) 

 

And they were both pretty good. My reviews for book one and book two.

I also read a book by my author friend, Faith Blum.  I'll confess, I'm not big into sci-fi. But those who do like it will probably like this book. :) My review here.

And honestly, though I'd like to like every book that I read, there were two this month that just weren't my cup of tea...

 

See a little more why I didn't like them here and here.

And the final book... 

Ah... SO sweet and cute and adorable!!! My review is here.

AND... last but not least...

Because I have some great friends... and also because I found a deal on eBay... my bookshelf got about 56 volumes heavier in March. :o This usually doesn't happen in a month, so I figured it was picture-worthy. ;) 

Now, your turn!
