March Reading Recap

Here's the books I read this month, the last one being mere minutes ago!

The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls: The author tells a tale of childhood neglect that will make you rejoice in her eventual escape.

Beyonders: A World Without Heroes by Brandon Mull: Jason and Rachel are sucked into the world of Lyrian where they work together to overthrow the evil Emperor.

 Mr. Monster by Dan Wells: John Wayne Cleaver struggles to hold at bay the evil monster within himself.

 No Going Back by Jonathan Langford: Paul comes out as gay in his Mormon culture and is forced to deal with the consequences.

 I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak: Ed gets mysterious cards in the mail and learns how to live outside his own problems by helping others.

 Room by Emma Donoghue: Jack and his ma have lived in a single room all his life, until things begin to change when he turns five years old.

 My Jane Austen Summer by Cindy Jones: Lily escapes the sadness of her life by going to England to participate in a Jane Austen literary festival and hopefully fulfill her dreams of living in a novel.

Favorites of the month: Room for sure, followed by The Glass Castle... and my re-read of I Am the Messenger. They were all good though!

Plans for April:

• Finish Lord of Chaos, ASAP, because I'm having YA cravings that I need to address
• Read Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie for book club
• City of Bones! Once and for all!
• Read The Pun Also Rises for a TLC book tour late in the month
• Finish up the Chaos Walking trilogy with Monsters of Men
• See what all the fuss is about The Name of the Wind
• Figure out something small, quick and easy to read during the readathon

Here's to a new month of reading! What are your plans?
