Book Lair discussion

March is just around the corner, what will you be reading this month?

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.

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.

I've seen you also got The Feminine Future: Early Science Fiction by Women Writers from netgalley. Maybe you will be interested in a buddy read of it? Although for my part, I think it will probably be one of the books that will have to wait April.

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.

I put it down in March since it is being published this month and I would have loved to review it by then, but alas, I don't think I can make it. Anyway, I'll leave it here and we'll see. I'll keep you updated.

I don't stick well to reading plans, but I want to read:

for the fourth time for book club.
just because
to give it another chance
and anything fairly short and quick so GR can stop chiding me about being behind in my goal!!!!

3 stars. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... there's my review. I always love King, but had a few "issues" with this one. I always read his in about 36 hours when they are released, step back, read some others and then re-read because I know I am biased, but generally my thoughts go in the other direction with him.

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 don't like to plan ahead as far as what I'm going to read so I'll post my list at the end of the month :)

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.

I'm not good at sticking to a plan either, but that's what I like about it too: planning at the beginning of the month, and see by the end how "out of plan" I've been.

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 haven't read any of the three on my "plan", but will begin one as soon as I finish the audio book I am currently listening to.

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.

I finally started a book on my March list and it's only the 17th!!!

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 https://www.goodreads.com/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.

I read two of the books I planned on reading:
The 100 and The Fault in Our Stars, but haven't reread Revival.

I also read:
The Testing, Dead and Gone, Dark Screams: Volume One, Project Dechentreiter, Just After Sunset, Definitely Dead and Fangirl.

My favorite new read of the month was by far!!!

Well, March only partly went according to plan.

I did finish:


and read the following books as planned:


But instead of the other planned books, I read:
