March Wrap-Up

March was stop-and-go for books. I would read several in a week, then only one the next. This month in books:

• I finished The Silmarillion, overall I really enjoyed it, a lot more than I was expecting to. The running commentary is still running on my tumblr. because I let myself get behind updating. This was more dense than I'm accustomed to, but I'm looking forward to more Tolkien at some point soon.
• The Winner's Crime by Marie Rutkoski
• Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff
• Suspicion by Alexandra Monir
• Belle Epoque by Elizabeth Ross
• Rain by Amanda Sun
• For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund (reread)
• The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black (reread)

The books I acquired this March. Featuring terrible lighting and my office floor, as usual.

• The Winner's Crime by Marie Rutkoski: I was eagerly anticipating this release, I finished it at two in the morning.
• Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo: Am collecting the trilogy in paperback, just waiting for Ruing and Rising to come out in paperback now...
• The 100 by Kass Morgan: I read this two years ago (wow, it doesn't feel like that long), and I've been meaning to pick up a copy. It was on Book Outlet.
• The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black: I snagged this after my reread, realising that I'll probably reread it again.
• Lone Survivors by Chris Stringer: I'm a human evolution geek (evolution in general, really).
• The Violinist's Thumb by Sam Kean: And also a genetics geek.
• Improving Your Soil by Keith Red: One day I will start a blog about biology and gardening. It will probably be terrible.

I'm participating in a read-a-thon over on tumblr. next week, which is likely to seep over into this blog. We shall see.
