We had a fair amount of yucky weather, and the plant fornication is bothering my sinuses, so I did quite a bit of reading in March.<\/p>\n
My favorite book of the month was probably Shadowshaper by Daniel Jos\u00e9 Older. He’s now on my must-buy list. I also very much liked Banquet of Lies by Michelle Dienr, which caused me to make brioche and apple galette after reading about them being made. And I read When Falcons Fall<\/em> by C.S. Harris within almost days of it being released, which is usual for her, but in generally I tend to get around to new releases.<\/p>\n So here’s what I read:<\/p>\n Historical Fantasy, YA<\/strong> Urban Fantasy, YA<\/strong> Historical Mystery<\/strong> Historical Romance<\/strong> Audible<\/strong> Mystery<\/strong> And here’s how the stats came out:<\/p>\n Out of 19 books, 18 were ebooks and one was an audible book.I have five re-reads (one of which was, of course, the audible book; I have to read a book the first time–the audio version is too slow. But I love listening because it forces me to slow down, and catch things I missed the first time around).<\/p>\n Genre-wise, I read a lot of historical romances, and almost as many historical mysteries.<\/p>\n Fantasy : 4 And gender-wise, I read 18 female authors and one single male author.<\/p>\n Now that the weather has changed? Don’t expect me to read nearly as much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We had a fair amount of yucky weather, and the plant fornication is bothering my sinuses, so I did quite a bit of reading in March.
