Pretend I posted this on time (and not 8 months late). Don't ask when the rest of my monthly wrap-ups for this year are happening, because I don't know. I may just do some kind of big combined wrap up, IF I feel like it.
Without further ado, the 3 books I read in March.
A Feather so Black by Lyra Selene
Publication Date: March 12th, 2024
Read: February 27th - March 2nd
Rating: 3/5 stars
As fantasy stories inspired by Swan Lake go, this one was disappointing. Generic shadow guy. Too much will-they-won't-they, and not even with the obvious main couple. SIGH.
Siren Queen by Nghi Vo
Publication Date: May 10th, 2022
Read: March 8th - 9th
Rating: 3.5/5 stars
I read this for book club. It was pretty good, just not really my thing? I realized partway through that all of the "figurative language" I was interpreting as metaphorical was...literal! Possibly I would enjoy this more on a reread, since I would have a slightly better idea of what to expect, but I don't know that I'm super motivated to reread it. But I like that book club is making me branch out.
Refuse to Be Done by Matt Bell
Publication Date: March 8th, 2022
Read: March 14th - 24th
Rating: 4.5/5 stars
Enjoyed this one a lot. A very encouraging writing book that never hesitates to tell you that you (yes you) are a writer, and you are writing a book. I was grateful for that and appreciative of the actual writing advice, too. Reading this book makes me feel like I can write anything. I don't know if it would be everyone's thing, but it's great for people like me who need that kind of reminder.
If I seem really tired writing this, it's because I am!
