March Books

I saw myself with a lot more time than usual in March since most things got cancelled, closed, or delayed. I also began working from home, so I had a lot fewer interruptions when listening to audiobooks while I worked. Add in the fact that I live alone and I've had a lot of time to fill. So my reading went up a bit.

 

I read 44 books in March with an average score of 3.76. 12 were graphic novels and 22 were YA. My most-read genres were contemporary, romance, fantasy, and mystery.

 

My favorite book was actually my very last read of the month - You Never Forget Your First: A Biography of George Washington - Alexis Coe. I never thought a biography of George Washington would be a top book of the month, but here we are. My least favorite book was Bone Crier's Moon - Kathryn Purdie. It had a great opening and a lot of potential, but devolved into a disappointing insta-love romance with characters making nonsensical decisions.

 

I made more progress on my 2020 Reading Plans list. I got through 4 books, so now I'm at 15/38.
