The Books of March

Now that we’re getting to outdoors weather, I fully expect to start reading less.

Now that I’ve said that, it’ll rain continually for the rest of the month.

What Angels Fear (2005) C.S. Harris (8.5/10)
When Gods Die (2006) C.S. Harris (8/10)
Why Mermaids Sing (2007) C.S. Harris  (7/10)
Where Serpents Sleep (2008) C.S. Harris  (8/10)
What Remains of Heaven (2009) C.S. Harris  (8/10)

The Monarch of the Glen (2004) Neil Gaiman (8/10)
Night Broken (2014) Patricia Briggs (Mercy Thompson) (8/10)

Fantasy / Romance

Books read in March: 13

Paperback 3
Trade Paperback 2
eBook 6
Hardback 2
Re-read 8

Most of the non-ebooks were re-read. And two of the ebooks are books I also own in paper format.

Again, these genre totals are more than 13, because some books fall into multiple categories.

Fantasy 5
Mystery 8
Romance 2

I only read two male authors this month, however, seven books were written by women who were masquerading as men–or at least working with the foolish assumption that if it isn’t a female name, then it’s obviously a male author.

Male 2
Female 4
Initials 6
Male Pseudonym 1

I’m still a little male weighted so far this year, which is somewhat problematic, because now that I’m aware of it, I’m consciously picking books by female authors, which isn’t necessarily the right way to do it either.
