I read 9 books in March. And enjoyed most of them. As l’m now retired I have plenty of time so I do tend to slog onto the end with books that I don’t enjoy. I have a great sense of achievement when I finally finish. Here goes with my books for March.
Empress Orchid by Anchee Min for an historical book with a female protagonist. Excellent book, well written and very interesting.
The adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. I was not so enamoured with this all the speech is written in dialect which I find makes it difficult to read. But that’s another classic of my list.
All my lies are true by Dorothy Koomson. I really enjoyed this a good thriller where all the ends tie up nicely at the end. I went with this as my choice to claim a line.
The Vine witch trilogy by Luanne G Smith. All very good. The first l’m claiming as start of a series and the last = The Conjurer as released in 2021
1602 by Neil Gaiman This is a graphic novel. Definitely not my normal genre. But once I got into it I really enjoyed it. The premise is very unusual, as normal with Neil it takes place in 1602 with Queen Elizabeth 1 on the throne but features the marvel universe heroes!
The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo for poetic rhapsody. I cannot recommend this book enough. It’s delightful all written in verse about a young black poet and her first love. I literally picked it up and could not put it down.
The girl from Nowhere by Elissa Tanner. A true story based on the authors own experience of being born in a Romney gypsy camp in Slovakia to 13 year old prostitute and how she escaped to the UK in a washing machine box.
