So I read quite a few picture books this month. Some of them were wonderful, others not so much. I read nonfiction, a literary novel, picture books, short story anthology, some realistic fiction, middle grade and YA paranormal. All in all, I’m satisfied with the range of reading I managed to accomplish. I’m probably not going to get as much reading done during March because school’s going to be drawing to a close and I’ll be trying to get papers written, portfolios collected and projects completed. However, I do have a reading list for the month and if you are curious, the books on the to-read list for March are:

1. The Dead and the Buried – Kim Harrington
2. Dr. Bird’s Advice for Sad Poets – Evan Roskos
3. Escape Theory – Margaux Froley
4. Farseed – Pamela Sargent
5. Impulse – Steven Gould
6. Ice Age – David Shapiro
7. The Four Corners of Time – David Shapiro
8. Summer and Bird – Katherine Catmull
