Not bad for March. 15 books read, only two reviews though. It's just occurred to me that we're a quarter of the way through the year already! And as of yesterday, I'm a book short of 50 books read this year. I wonder if that will continue throughout the rest of the year. I really doubt it, but it's fun to speculate.
Lots of really good books in March though, I'd be hard pressed to pick a favourite. Also, kind of a strange mixture. Some adult books, mostly YA books and one non-fiction title there. Some favourite authors, Neil Gaiman, Meg Cabot, and Sarra Manning. But also some never-before-read authors, like Keris Stainton, Jennifer Echols, Simone Elkeles, Carrie Ryan and Joshua Ferris. This month I've read about the underground, a tuba, myths, zombies, eating disorders, lurve, and a mysterious condition that compelled one man to walk and walk and walk. I love where books take me.

As for April, I'm not really interested in the numbers as I am in reading some of my own books. I really need to clear some space in my TBR shelves. I'm in the mood for some YA romancey books, but I don't seem to have many of those unread on my shelves. Sadface. This month, I read 7 of my own books, only two of which had been languishing on my shelves for awhile, two e-books, one book proof that had was sent on, and five library books.
What did you read in March? Did you have a favourite? Where has reading taken you lately? What's in store for April?
I hope that you enjoy BOY - it is fantastic
