Fangirl was cute- a friend told me to read it when I was looking for a green cover. Not my typical read- but it was a fun change!

I didn't have too much time to read in March, but I did manage:

1. Victoria by Daisy Goodwin
2. The Shack by William P. Young
3. The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd

1) Becoming Mrs. Lewis by Patti Callahan
4) Connections in Death- J.D. Robb
5) Dear Madame President- Jennifer Palmieri
