Today is DAY ONE of my self-imposed ban on buying books for 40 days. I'll admit it's going to be hard, because there are a few titles coming out in March that I really, really want. Come Easter Sunday, I'll be a the store, buying some books-- have no doubt about that. Meanwhile, wish me luck. I'm interested to see how I manage this and just what I'll be able to read from my stacks at home. It's a great chance to discover books I've been wanting to read, but forgot about after I stacked a few other books on top of them. It will be a month of discovery.
Tonight, I'm looking through my stacks, deciding what to read in March. I quickly realized I have almost too many choices! It's hard to narrow it down. Here's what I hope to read and review this month:
I've had this for a few years--set in 1654 Amsterdam, involving a young housekeeper and Rembrandt himself! The cover caught my eye and that's why I bought it in, uh, 2017.
Another book from the stacks. I've had my eye on this series for quite some time and decided to finally start it. A woman doesn't realize her father is the famed Sherlock Holmes--and she's inherited his keen sense of deduction.
Oh, you betcha this one is on my list. Controversial seems to be an understatement.
A read for publisher review about "a thriller set in the future where the Earth has stopped spinning". A scientist holds the key to saving the Earth. Yay Scientists!
A modern gothic thriller about a young woman, an elite school, and some ghostly happenings. A debut novel out in May, 2020.
I've got a whole lot of interesting reading coming up for March, and I can't wait to get started. I'm finishing up a really good novel called The Chill and I'll be reviewing that in the next few days.
Happy reading everyone!
