1. March was named for the Roman god of war Mars. Pick books with war or military endeavors.
based on a real woman who we should be hearing more about
not a ton of war in this one but still, here is your push to continue the series.
2. Oscars are in March. Pick books that have been adapted for screen
I havent read the manga yet but the anime is so fun
3. Its the official start of spring in the northern hemisphere with the equinox. Pick books with flowers on the cover or anything that makes you think of spring
the pastel colours and flowers are spring like and you seem to be enjoying the series so why not continue
cover colour still feels springlike to me

Laura
1. March was named for the Roman god of war Mars. Pick books with war or military endeavors.
one of my favourite books, Just such a well done historical fiction set during the war
some old school fantasy for a change of pace
A darker more current fantasy that is supposed to be so good

3. Its the official start of spring in the northern hemisphere with the equinox. Pick books with flowers on the cover or anything that makes you think of spring
all those flowers are springlike. Plus it sounds like a good read
in case you need a nonfiction instead, plus im curious about this one.

Mackenzie
1. March was named for the Roman god of war Mars. Pick books with war or military endeavors.
different type of story from WWII as it looks more at the everyday life of how one survives during atrocities such as those committed during this time and the ways in which they can fight back.
on KU and Ive heard good things about it

2. Oscars are in March. Pick books that have been adapted for screen
this book made me cry, it was beautifully done. The movie was disappointing.

3. Its the official start of spring in the northern hemisphere with the equinox. Pick books with flowers on the cover or anything that makes you think of spring
baseball season starts in the spring

Thank you guys! I was extremely busy this week... will post the picks on weekend probably.

I got 50 pages into Homerun Proposal and all I read was how she the FMC was a Virgin, THE WHOLE TIME!!! I had to DNF it, so I might chose another book out of the picks!

Oh that sounds awful! At least it got a book off the tbr....

I'm so sorry guys, I was so bus at work and life and totally forgot to post the picks. Will do in April :)
