Ahah I was just thinking of creating this topic when I got up, thanks for doing it for me, Melas!
I am very hesitant on what I will read on March.
will definitely be my first read of the month.

Oh yes, I am always up for buddy reads ^_^ April works great, anytime you want really, I have quite a lot of books pending atm.





and anything fairly short and quick so GR can stop chiding me about being behind in my goal!!!!

Because I am jonesing for new writing from him I think his latest is worth 10 stars, but when I step back and get "sober" I realize 5 is sufficient. This time...not so much.
I might read
and
, we'll see.
I kind of enjoy reading sequels, I just want to do it when I know I will not be interrupted, like by a buddy read, for instance.

Oooh! This a subject that came up in another group years ago. When I read a series I don't read it straight through even if I come to the party late and they are all published. I have other friends who will wait until they are all published just so they can read straight through, uninterrupted.
It's funny how differently we all read.


I've never been a good reading planner either. I've been trying in this group, but I am not good at sticking to the plan! I'm too easily distracted by a rave review or rec from a friend.

If the books are available, then I want to read them straight. If not, then I will wait. For me, it depends on the books; more specifically, if they end on major cliffhangers or not. But even if they don't, I prefer to read everything so I can still feel acquainted with the characters I am reading about.

Completely agree, I enjoy figuring out what went according to plan and what didn't :)

I understand the feeling of wanting to stay in that world. With The Dark Tower series by King I often re-read the installment before the next came out to get "back inot it", but they were years and years in the waiting! That's despite the fact that after reading the first I didn't revisit until over half were published.
I do the same thing with the Sookie Stackhouse books. I read them as they were published, but now that they are all available, I find myself comfy in that world and will often read two in a row just to stay there,

I started House of Cards and it is very, very good. I don't usually race through series one after the other, but I may need to in this case. It's political and I tend to forget who is aligned with who if I wait too long in that sort of story.

The Fault in Our Stars. I forgot how lovely this book is. I actually read it before my teens and the whole world got on the John Green bandwagon. The movie is nice,but the book (like usual) is sooooo much better.
So far this is what I have read during March:
Sins of the Father by Anthony Vicino
Ascendance by C. Jones
The Thirteenth Tower by Sara C. Snider
The Time Being by Antonia Honeywell
Parallel by Anthony Vicino
Infected Connection by L. Ashley Straker
Bald New World by Peter Tieryas
The Harvesters by Anthony Sparrow
A Death by Stephen King /book/show/2...
I am reading
The Magician's Home by R. Corona. It's been hard getting into it. Might have time to read one more this month, we will see.
Book of the month was definitely The Thirteenth Tower.
The Time Being was my first audiobook, listened on my phone on Audible.
I discovered Anthony Vicino recently through his blog and reading his work was a delight.

My favorite new read of the month was

For my part, I've decided on quite an ambitious list.
First, I want to finish the two books I am currently reading:
Then I have these books in mind:
I might also want to squeeze in the monthly read from the Reading the Classics group when it is decided, if I am interested in it.
As you can see, that's quite an ambitious program, so it will probably overflow into April.
