The best memory I have of March is driving. I haven't had a weekend at home in a long time I guess. And that really cut into my reading time, because I'm more of a weekend reader. I slept in yesterday after a month that I can't stop appreciating how good that felt. Still, I read some great titles this month and April is bringing more new titles that I've been looking forward to!

Traveling with my books this year
One thing I always look forward to with these monthly review posts, is where I've been to this month. While I'd much rather go there physically, some times books can be a welcome travel tool too! I still have two continents I haven't visited at all - Africa and Australia.

As much fun as it is to travel, it's also very disruptive to life. February was the first month in over a year that I was home every single night. I hope your life settles down soon.
You had a great month in reading! Hope April is great for you too :)
Happy Reading!
I'm really impressed by how widely you've read around the globe! I'm excited because one of the books I recently bought is a translation and I didn't even know it. I've wanted to read a book in translation since January.
You had a great reading month! I hope April calms down for you.
Looking back over this month, you're definitely responsible for adding three books to my tbr list: Slow Death by Rubber Duck, 13 rue Therese, and The Good Daughter. I hope I can return the favor this month! :-)
Your March was great!!! Lots of good reads there.
You've had a great month :)
Like me, you have a blank continent. For you it's Africa and for me it's South America. I got all excited to read the book you've got there, but I've already read it! Darn it. You read some wonderful books this month, let's hope April is just as great!
I agree! I love traveling, but there are times when I just want to be home. I hope April won't bring too much traveling with it.
Thank you, I hope so too!
I love reading translated works too. I think I've read a couple, though none come to mind right away. I do remember thinking that the translations were also written really well.
Yay!! I love to hear that! I will be looking forward to your thoughts when you choose to read any of those books (nudging The Good Daughter to the top of the pile).
Thanks! I hope April is good too! (I also hope commenting is not proving to be too hard. Someone else also told me the same thing - I need to check with Disqus on why it's so slow.)
Thank you!
I'm going to snoop at your map and pick at least one book to read in Apr/May to put some dot on my blank continents. That will relieve some pressure off my reading list!
Where is the Sunday Salon lazy girl?
TSS was on a break this week, lazy reader. :)
You know what, I just realized that the popup comment thing is much better that this click-and-scroll-a-billion-times-to-reach-the-comment-box way !!
You need to scroll down the pop-up comment box also, right?
Not if it has a "Jump to the comment box" link on top !!
You know you're lazy, right? :)
