Lots of crappy weather this month, so I read a lot again. (We shall not mention the indoor projects I ignored for reading. Moving right along.)<\/p>\n
Although I still haven’t settled on a final rating, I enjoyed Faith Hunter<\/a>‘s latest Soulwood book, Circle of the Moon<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n I read a LOT of LGBT books this month, and I particularly enjoyed Josh Lanyon<\/a>;s All’s Fair series, which starts with Fair Game<\/a><\/em> (but the last book is my favorite in that series). <\/p>\n I also really liked The Secret Casebook of Simon Feximal<\/a><\/em> by K.J. Charles<\/a> which is a collection of short stories, and a prequel of sorts to the Green Man series. (Sort of) Plus the series Angel Martinez<\/a>‘s Offbeat Crimes series, which had ALL the Michelle Catnip: supernatural police procedural. I really liked the world-building in that series.<\/p>\n So here’s what I read:<\/p>\n Fantasy, Supernatural<\/strong><\/p>\n Circle of the Moon<\/a><\/em> (2019) Faith Hunter<\/a> (Rating: Undecided) (Soulwood)<\/p>\n Mystery, LGBT<\/strong><\/p>\n All\u2019s Fair Fantasy, Supernatural LGBT<\/strong><\/p>\n The Secret Casebook of Simon Feximal<\/a><\/em> (2013) K.J.

It was a comic, but still! Paper!<\/p>\n Fantasy: 10 Lots of mysteries this month, and lots of romance. And a fair chunk of fantasy so… pretty much everything. Plus a lot of boinking.<\/p>\n Male: 9 More male authors than in past months, but adding in female pseudonyms, it’s still predominantly female authors.<\/p>\n Male: 24 So lots of male main characters this month, mostly cuz I read a lot of M\/M stories. And lots and lots of white characters, although there was a little bit of diversity with secondary characters. But still, pretty white.<\/p>\n And those are the books of March.<\/p>\n What did you read recently that you loved?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lots of crappy weather this month, so I read a lot again.
