Books I read: March

reread:
17. The Emperor's Edge - Lindsay Buroker
18. Dark Currents - Lindsay Buroker
19. Deadly Games - Lindsay Buroker
20. Conspiracy - Lindsay Buroker
21. Blood and Betrayal - Lindsay Buroker
22. Forged in Blood I - Lindsay Buroker
23. Forged in Blood II - Lindsay Buroker

I have to say - I do not usually review my reread books because obviously I enjoy them - I'm rereading them! But this series might be my favorite. It holds up on reread like none of the others I've read this year; it's really fabulous and I don't know how Buroker isn't a household name. She's fantastic. You should be reading these books.

new:
13. That Old Cape Magic - Richard Russo I was bored.

14. The Forgotten Garden - Kate Morton We read this for book club (hey look! One of my book clubs has decided it's active again!) and I really enjoyed it. Probably a little too neatly tied up, but I thought the story was good. The plot line at the beginning is VERY similar to Light Between Oceans, except it's *not teary sad*. 

15. Labor Day - Joyce Maynard I listened to this on audiobook and it was pretty decent. I can see how it could be turned into a very serviceable movie.

16. Sheepfarmer's Daughter - Elizabeth Moon This is my friend's favorite trilogy, and it was good but I'm not enamored. Lots of war and fighting and not enough character development. I'll try the next one to see if there's more in the second one but I'm not loving it.

17. Veronica Mars - The Thousand Dollar Tan Line - Rob Thomas This was not the best writing, but it was very a enjoyable and satisfying dip back into the Veronica Mars lake.

Ooh, I'm reading Light Between Oceans right now. (For book club!) I did know it was quite teary. I just can't seem to get into it. Does it get better after the boring start?

I am also bored by Richard Russo. *fistbump*
