I read 18 books last month, a high number for me that was definitely due to to taking part in a reading challenge at my local library, which not only pushed me a little to read some books I might not otherwise have read, it also pushed me to try to finish books a little more quickly than normal for me. I read a lot of younger-audience books for the last few books I needed in order to finish the advanced part of the challenge (I made sure the rules do not say what length or for what age group the books have to be). The event ended mid-way through March, and by the time it was done, I was glad to be able to get back to my normal, slower pace. What’s really amazing is that I managed to get reviews posted for all of those books by now!

Here are the books I read in March:

Faith, Hope and Hilarity by Dick Van Dyke (3 / 5)
The Magic Factory by Morgan Rice (3 / 5)
Criminal Destiny by Gordon Korman (5 / 5)
Stars Beyond Realms by Marie-Hélène Lebeault (2 / 5)
We Bought a Zoo by Benjamin Mee (3 / 5)
The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton (5 / 5)
Twister and Shout by Bill Myers (5 / 5)
Henry Huggins by Beverly Cleary (5 / 5)
World of Warcraft, v. 1 by Walter Simonson (4 / 5)
Cam Jansen and the Mystery of the Circus Clown by David A. Adler (4 / 5)
The Secret of the Old Clock by Carolyn Keene (4 / 5)

Fortunately, the Milk by Neil Gaiman (4 / 5)
The Nazi Architects of the Holocaust by Corona Brezina (4 / 5)
A Noble Scheme by Roseanna M. White (5 / 5)
Butterflies in the Storm by Gary Warner (2 / 5)
Murder on the Links by Agatha Christie (3.5 / 5)

This list includes 3 ARCs and 1 re-read. My favorite book from March was A Noble Scheme. I started 5 series, continued 3 series, and finished 0 series. My ever-changing short list of to-be-reads, as well as a flag for the book I’m currently reading and an ongoing list of those I’ve read and posted about can be found here.

I’m also keeping my Goodreads page updated with a more extensive list of to-be-reads. Despite my almost too-long TBR list, I’m always looking for more to add. Feel free to offer suggestions of your favorites or just recent reads you enjoyed.
