Wrap Up - March

The month of spring that was not, as we got more snow again! Audiobooks are still my main theme although I did read a couple paperbacks as well and picked up my ereader as well although I didn't get much of anything read on it. 

1. Clockwork Angel, Cassandra Clare
2. Clockwork Prince, Cassandra Clare
3. Clockwork Princess, Cassandra Clare
4. The Coffin Dancer (Lincoln Rhyme #2), Jeffery Deaver 
5. Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carol 
6. The Empty Chair, (Lincoln Rhyme #3) Jeffery Deaver
7. The Dunwich Horror, HP Lovecraft *I listened to this on audiobook and it was amazing, I have put off reading Lovecraft for so long after my first few attempts years ago. I just kept getting caught in the language and diction and found it so frustrating I never finished anything I started. The audiobook was only and hour and a half I recommend this to any horror fan. Lovecraft was the horror pioneer.   
8. The Complete Aliens Omnibus: Volume One: (Earth Hive, Nightmare Asylum, The Female War), Steve and Stephani Perry
9. A Great and Terrible Beauty (The Gemma Doyle Trilogy 1),  Libba Bray 
10. Rebel Angels (The Gemma Doyle Trilogy 2), Libba Bray
11. Alice Through the Looking Glass, Lewis Carrol
12. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Washington Irving

As you can see I did get a whole trilogy completed! yay me! and I got into a couple of classics, all in all it was a great reading month, even though I got into a bit of a slump during the last week.

The books that I started this month

1. The Stone Monkey (Lincoln Rhyme #4), Jeffery Deaver
2. The Sweet Far Thing, Libba Bray
