March Roundup

Update!: I know I have barely been around this month, and I wanted to apologize for disappearing without any sort of warning. This has been a busy month full of travel, visitors, and schoolwork. That said, I did come up with a new idea for a feature! Keep your eyes peeled next Monday for what I hope becomes an interesting series of posts.

Books Finished: 11

Favorite March Book:

The Knife of Never Letting Go - Patrick Ness

There's been a lot of well-deserved praise about this young adult dystopia running around the blog-o-sphere, and I'd just like to take a minute to add to it. The Knife of Never Letting Go is a fast-paced engrossing read full of adventure and secrets. I loved the premise (a town of only men who can all hear each others' thoughts all the time - but hiding a dangerous secret), the voice, and I thought the reveal was really well done. A great book that had me just tearing through it only to reach the cliff-hanger ending. GAH! Luckily for us all, the second book in the trilogy: The Ask and the Answer should be available this September...

Author Encounters:

Rhonda Stapleton commented on the Waiting on Wednesday post for her new book Stupid Cupid coming out in December of this year (MUCH too long to wait). But it's available for pre-order, and if cute romantic comedies are your thing, I think this series will be a winner. Thanks for stopping by, Rhonda!
