If I thought February went by quickly, March seemed to speed by twice as quickly! And… I didn’t read very many books, nor did I finish the books I thought that I would! I’ve already said a couple times that March really ended up being a month of a lot more silence than I anticipated. I guess that goes to show that there really is something to that quote about the best laid plans of men and mice… or however that goes!
Really, though, I needed a little silence to clear my mind and bring back the enjoyment in both reading and writing, and I definitely enjoyed reading all about the books that everyone else is reading during the March of Books over on YLCF!
But all that aside, you can see by my updated book list that while I didn’t read very many books, I did read two good books.
While the World Watched , which I reviewed earlier this month, gave me a lot to think about, and I really enjoyed finishing up a book I started before I got married—yet another L.M Allcott book about a “modern” Cinderella. Once again, I was very impressed with the moral of the story, that true love is worth waiting for, and that it only gets better with time.
I did read a couple other, smaller books, and I am still slowly working my way through One Thousand Gifts, and a short story compilation called Every Day Heroes, as well as reading through my bible.
I hesitate to make any predictions for April. With spring in the air, and a little rumble of potential changes echoing in my ears, I’m not counting on finishing bundles of books this month. My goal is to finish what I’ve started and perhaps begin the next book on my list which happens to be a book that is made up of quotes from other books. What actually happens remains to be seen!
So how was March for you? We’ve had at least one new person jump in to join us during this reading challenge, and I’m excited that so many people are reading together with the common goal of reading well! (If you are new and catching up, this link will show you all the posts so far about this reading challenge!)
As always, you can link your update to this post using our link tool below, or leave a comment or both! Looking forward to hearing from each of you and seeing how your March has been.
March really did seem to speed by doubly fast! I really can’t believe that it is April and the trees are starting to bloom, the snow is melting and suddenly Spring is here!
I only read one book in March but it was a wonderful one; Just Like You by Elisabeth Allen :)
Although I almost finished up reading my Bible in 90 days challenge… (which was far more challenging than I ever thought it would be!)
I’ll write up my review and get it posted to the list very soon.
And who is to say what April will hold? Hopefully more literary pursuits!
I totally agree, March went by insanely fast! I haven’t finished anything since One Thousand Gifts…though I did read a chapter in one of my mothering books. Ahhh, life, it’s so unpredictable! :)
