5 Star Reads

4-4.5 Star Reads

3-3.5 Star Reads

The High’s & Low’s!

Obviously I had a lot 4 star reads.  They were all good, I enjoyed them.  My highlights in March were Mercy Thompson, but that’s obvious.  I think the biggest shocker was my obsession with The Foxhole Court.  More than my obsession, I think I’m so hung up on it because I can’t believe I love it as much as I do.  It’s so flawed, but those characters just burrowed inside me and I can’t let go.  Even now I find that I can’t stop thinking about them.  I know this will be a reread series.

On the opposing side, I can’t way I was super disappointed about anything.  I suppose the book I disliked the most was 72 Hours.  I think they story had so much promise, but the writing and characters couldn’t take it all the way.  I think, in a few months, I won’t remember I even read it.

Favorites Around the Blogosphere

In all my blogging travels, there were a few blog posts that I loved and want to share.  First, Deanna at A Novel Glimpse gave us Ed Sheeran songs that should be romance novels, and I didn’t disagree.  I think Mr. Sheeran writes the most romantic songs on the radio.  I’d read these books.

Nerd in New York talks Diversity in reading, which is a topic that is important to a lot of us.  I particularly liked the breakdown of this post, and the statistics.  It was very well done.

How about, are you a book addict?  Whether you are, or your not sure, you should read this article by Mind of a Book Dragon.  Make sure you click her link to the first article in February.

I’ve not read Carve the Mark, but I did read the Divergent series.  While I’ve never considered myself a fan of Veronica Roth, I have found myself intrigued by how her new book was received.  If you haven’t heard, or it interests you too, read Bookmark Chronicles author review of Veronica Roth.

Finally, I stumbled on this article at The Book Corps, all about Adults reading YA, and why there is nothing wrong with it!  Obviously there’s a stigma against an adult reading YA.  I think most of us have heard it, or dealt with it.  I know it’s a peeve of mine, and if it’s one of yours, pop in and read her article.  It’s another well written post.

The Potentials

I have some great selections up there!  I’m going to have a wonderful month.  I have another TJ Klune, whoo hoo!!  And THIRDS.  AND another Josh Lanyon!  All of these gems in the same month.  I have a few new YA’s to read, one from an author I already love.  Plus, The Hate U Give is out, and I’ve been really excited for it.

I have a feeling I’m going to love April.

What is your list for April?  Do we share any picks?
