📚 Reading in Review: March 2024
It was the month of 4 Star reads for me and a month of proof that 4 Stars can take on a variety of forms, be awarded for a variety of reasons, and represent a variety of literary qualities.
It was also another light reading month for me with only 18 books added to my “So Far From My 350 Book Yearly Goal That It Isn’t Even Funny” stack.
I’ll either catch up and make it look easy, or this will be the year that I reach both my reading and my overachieving limits.
We shall see. 😜😏
Here are my Wildly Different 4 Star Books
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
📖 My Side of the River by Elizabeth Camarillo Gutierrez
Resonant Memoir
📖 Promises of Gold by Jose Olivarez
Vulnerable, Accessible, Simultaneously Funny and Provoking Poetry
📖 Parachute Kids by Betty C Tang
Highly Flawed, Yet Heartfelt Graphic Novel
📖 While You Were Out by Meg Kissinger
Heartbreaking, Hopeful, Honest Memoir
📖 What To Watch When by Christian Blauvelt
A Fun Throwback to The Days of Printed “TV Guides”.
📖 A Game of Thrones The Graphic Novel Volume 1 by Daniel Abraham
Graphic Retelling As It Should Be
📖 Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane
More Proof Of The Confounding Complexity of Lehane’s Mind (I’ll Never Get Enough)
📖 Everyday Herbal Teamaking by Glenna A McLean
Somehow, Delightfully Funny and Informative
📖 You Are a Theologian by Jen Wilkin and JT English
A Solid Overview for Beginners
📖 Measure for Measure by William Shakespeare
There’s No Boundary the Bard Didn’t Push
📖 My Husband by Maud Ventura
Unhinged and Full of Trigger Warnings
📖 Not That Fancy by Reba McEntire
Nothing Profound, But Reba Being Utterly And Wonderfully Herself
And, a few 3 Star Reads:
⭐️⭐️⭐️
📖 Lift Like a Girl by Nia Shanks
📖 I Promise You My Love by Susan Polis Schutz
📖 Shed Decor by Sally Coulthard
📖 Cursed Bunny by Bora Chung
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
📖 Demon Slayer Volume 4 by Koyoharu Gotouge
My Favorite Volume Yet
I also reread (for the 4th time) Uncommon Ground by Tim Keller and Jon Inazu this month and I still give it a resounding 5 stars.
It is a treasure.
