Required Reading: MARCH

As February was drawing to a close, I began to panic worry that I won't be able to read all the books that I lined up for the month. Yesterday was the first day of March, and thankfully, I managed to finish reading Olive Kitteridge. So, 2 out of 3 books for my February reading list should not be too bad, no?

A round-up of my February books:

• The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides ~ 4/5
• Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout ~ 3/5
• The Thief (The Queen's Thief, #1) by Megan Whalen Turner ~ currently reading

Unfortunately, even with the extra day for February, the last book was left pending. I am reading it now, though, and will add to my reading list for March.

How did I come up with the titles that I've listed for this month?



A close inspection of my unread print books shows that I have some YA and children's books that would be perfect for light reading. I find that I am in the mood for that now, especially with my super-hectic workload these days. And what better way to whittle down the TBR pile than to get the uber-thin books out of the way, right?

So here are the books that will comprise my reading list for March:

• The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo
• Charlotte's Web by E.B. White
• The Boyfriend List: 15 Guys, 11 Shrink Appointments, 4 Ceramic Frogs and Me, Ruby Oliver (Ruby Oliver, #1) by E. Lockhart
• The Boy Book: A Study of Habits and Behaviors, Plus Techniques for Taming Them (Ruby Oliver, #2) by E. Lockhart

In between, I am still reading A Storm of Swords, and I'm also halfway through Table for Two by Marla Miniano (and why I still haven't finished it - all 141 pages of it - is a mystery to me). Given these 4 easy, light reads, March will surely be a breeze, so let's get it on! :)
