It's almost time for my April reading wrap-up, but here I am blogging about what I read in March because I've been under the weather lately with the mother of all migraines, and I'm so behind with posting. I swear, maybe one of these days I'll actually post something on time.
Anyway, let's catch up with what I read in March so I can then go be fashionably late with April's reads.
Here's what I read in March:

Favourite Reads: I don't even need to think about it this month. It's Sunrise on the Reaping, without a doubt. This book was amazing, but it has also broken me, and I'm not sure I'm ever going to recover from the emotional devastation it inflicted on me. Haymitch's story was just so damn sad. Have you read it yet? It's even better than Catching Fire!
Favourite Listens: Probably The Prisoner's Throne or A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire. It was my first time listening to them as audiobooks, and they were both so fun and entertaining in this format.
Least Favourites: There were a few that didn't quite meet my expectations last month. The Last Goodbye was a pretty mediocre thriller, which was disappointing as I usually LOVE the David Raker books. It was still good, but nowhere near as exciting or fast-paced as the other books in the series. I also struggled with the unabridged audiobooks of Shadow and Bone, and Siege and Storm. They're two favourites of mine, but the Russian accents the narrator put on for a few of the characters were so whiny and annoying, it made for tedious listening, and I really had to push through to keep listening at times. (And I love real Russian accents). I wish I'd just reread the hardbacks.
Despite the few I wished had been better, it was still a strong reading month overall. I read some great books, and revisited quite a few favourites. And eight isn't a bad tally at all for a month with three weeks of eye-strain headaches and migraines. It could definitely have been worse!
