2. Island of Sweet Pies and Soldiers by Sara Ackerman (Adult Fiction/Audio Book) - 4 out of 5 stars
3. You Are Not Alone by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen (Adult Fiction) - 4 out of 5 stars
4. And They Called it Camelot by Stephanie Marie Thornton (Adult Historical Fiction) - 4.5 out of 5 stars
Children's Literature/Chapter Books:
1. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling (a re-read with my oldest son)
1. Favorite Book: I adored And They Called it Camelot, because I love all things Jackie Kennedy Onassis as well as the Kennedy family. I thought it was well-researched and a great glimpse into the life of Jackie, who is an utterly fascinating person.
2. Biggest Surprise: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was a surprise to me in a way, because I hadn't read it in many, many years, but re-reading it with my son was magical and experiencing it all over again with him has been special.
3. Biggest Disappointment: There were no disappointments this month, but I will say You Are Not Alone wasn't as good as their other novel, The Wife Between Us. Did you read it? Let me know what you think?
4. Favorite Post: Top Ten Tuesday: My Spring TBR List
5. Favorite Part of March: Even though we have been quarantined, it was still fun to celebrate my birthday with my favorite boys. Plus, the weather was gorgeous and we had a lot of time outside and I got some gardening in. It's the little things, right? One thing is for sure, it will be a birthday I always remember.
What's your favorite book that you read this month? Let me know in the comments below.
I also celebrated my birthday in isolation. You’re right, it’ll be a birthday I remember. I spent it eating cake and reading Sherlock Holmes by myself. I hope you have a good April!

Cake and Sherlock Holmes sounds pretty good! Happy Belated Birthday! I hope you have a great April as well. Thanks for visiting, Aj.
DeleteI've been the opposite - reading is just about the only thing I want to be doing these days! At least the books you got to all seemed to be great reads for you. I hear you on memorable birthdays! Mine is coming up this week and I wish I could pretend it's not happening and get a re-do on 35.
ReplyDeleteHappy Early Birthday! It was a little weird to celebrate it in quarantine, but it could be a lot worse. I hope you have a good one, Angela! Thanks for visiting.
DeleteI'm finally getting to read a little bit more now that tax season has been extended and I really need it for my mental health - I easily get sucked into the news and it can really bring a person down if they're not careful. Another quarantine birthday here too - I am so bummed I won't get to celebrate with my parents and sister, but I'm sure we'll make up for missed time together soon.
ReplyDeleteRight?? I have to limit my news watching, because it can become all-consuming. I am happy for you that you have more time to read now. I definitely feel better when I make time to do it. Happy Early Birthday to you! It was a little weird to celebrate it in quarantine, but I know so many people have it worse. My son has a birthday this month too. I feel badly that we can't have his party. I can't wait till this is all over and then we can celebrate with family and friends. Thanks for visiting, Michele.
