Monthly Warp-Up/March 2010

 It's hard to believe that March is over. This has definitely been a very productive month for me partly because I spent my entire spring break reading (and loved every minute of it), and partly because I reached over 50 followers. Thank you to everyone who stops by and is now a follower and to everyone who stops by and leaves a comment. I love you all and I appreciate any and all comments you make. 

So here is March in Review.

The Body Finder by Kim Derting

This World We Live In by Susan Beth Pfeffer
Sing Me To Sleep by Angela Morrison  
Gringolandia by  Lyn Miller - Lachmann 

My Book of the Month Pick for March is Gringolandia by Lyn Miller - Leachmann. This is one of the most powerful stories I have read in a long time. It took me less than eight hours to finish and would have only taken half that if I hadn't had to work and sleep. Since I just finished it, I have not yet written a review, but it will be coming soon. Lyn has also agreed to let me interview her about the book.

Challenges:

I read 14 books for both these challenges, bringing my grand total to 36.





I read 2 books for this challenge this month for a total of 6 out of the 25 I will be reading,

I read 4 books for this challenge bringing my total to 15 out of the 25 I signed up for,

and I read 5 this month books for this challenge, and although I only signed up for 10 I am continuing to add to this one.

I also began a new challenge this month (as if I needed any more), and read 1 book and have 4 more to go.

So goodbye March and hello April. How was your month?
