In the reading department I did much better this month. Of the 6 books I listed to read this month I read through 5 of them! I'm very proud of myself. Although, one of them ended up on my short list of "unfinished" books. Ah well, what can you do? As for movies, as you can see I haven't reviewed any, doesn't mean I haven't seen any on tv or gone to the movie theater. In fact, I saw Identity Thief and The Croods. I will get better this month with reviewing movies! So, without further ado, here's what I read in March and what I plan to read in April:
Books
Quiet by Susan Cain
The Narrative of John Smith by Arthur Conan Doyle
A Wind in the Door by Madeleine L'Engle
Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz

Also coming in April is a new way that I'm keeping track of characters, favorite quotes, and moments in the different books that I read. I realize I'm involved in several "series" right now and I'd like to start a few new ones as well. That's a LOT of characters to try and remember when I switch around from one series to another. Through the use of PearlTree I will not have to clutter my mind with all the facts! So look out for my "Book Trees" next month to be added at the end of each book review for those who are reading the same series I am and could use a good guide along the way!
