Month in Review: March 2011

March started out in the 70s and is ending in the 50s ~ What's up with that??? We did have a wonderful reprieve in Orlando last week, which was nice. We had a blast at Disney. It was definitely the highlight of the month. Here's a recap of what I read and reviewed this month.

Books Read in March: 4
I read a total of four books in March. Three were adult books and one was a children's book.
Zero Day by Mark Russinovich
My Stroke of Insight by Jill Bolte Taylor
Spinning by Michael Baron
Fifo "50 States" by Hayley Rose

Reviews Written: 6
This month, I wrote a lot of reviews. First, I reviewed two books I had read in February:
Final Vector by Alan Leverone
Elephant Talk by Ann Downer

I also wrote reviews of all of the books I read in March. You can click on the links above to read them.


Author Interview: 1
I also conducted one author interview in March, with author Michael Baron. So far, I seem to be interviewing an author each month. I'm hoping to keep up this trend.

This month, I read 2 e-books on my Nook. That brings me to a total of 8 for the year. I need to read a total of 12 e-books in 2011 for this challenge, so I'm doing well.

None, but I did start a book by Ron Rash so I should have at least one to list here for April!

This month, I read books that took place in two different states, but one was a state I had already checked off my list. Here's where the books I read in March took place:
Massachusetts
New York (2)
Whole USA

That brings me to 9 out of 50 states covered, plus 3 additional countries. Here's my updated map:

    Congrats on your monthly progress! It must be the week off for spring break but my March reading progress was much better than my February.

    Wow, good for you for keeping up with your reviews! I always seem to be running behind (in that and everything else!). I suppose some day the kids will be gone and I will have plenty of time and won't know what to do with it all - lol.

    Thanks for reminding me I need to do my own March summary. How on earth did we get to April so fast??

Getting back to blogging

It seems that blogging has dropped to the bottom of my list for the past year, and was pretty low for the year or two prior to that. I love to read, and am continuing to do so, but as my regular readers know I haven't been around much. My last blog post was almost a year ago!!

There are many things that have taken me away from blogging. Work has been much more challenging and interesting these past few years, but that means I really don't want to get back on the computer when I get home at night - or on the weekends.

Family life has been more busy with kids having multiple activities in the evenings, leaving little time to just hang out and write about the books that I read.

I will admit to a bit of a Facebook addiction, which means way too much time spent scrolling through my newsfeed instead of doing something more productive. This is one of the things I'm working on and hoping that this will free up some time for getting back to the blog.

Overall, life is good. Work is …

Book Review: The Bookman's Tale by Charlie Lovett

Peter Byerly is distraught over the loss of his wife nine months ago. He has retreated to their cottage in the English countryside, hoping to return to his love of collecting and restoring rare books. But when he opens a book about Shakespeare forgeries and finds a Victorian watercolor of a woman who looks just like his wife, Peter is soon on a search for the origin of the painting and the truth about Shakespeare's real identity.

The Bookman's Tale: A Novel of Obsession by Charlie Lovett is a wonderful journey for anyone who loves books. It follows Peter's search in 1995, which turns into a bit of a thriller at times. But Lovett also takes the reader back in time a bit so we can learn the story of his relationship with his wife and how he came to be a bookseller. He does a beautiful job of expressing Peter's feelings about the rare books he encounters, and his feelings are contagious.

And then he takes us back even further to the history of one particular volume, whos…

Banned Books Week: Junie B. Jones by Barbara Park

This is the end of Banned Books Week and unfortunately, I haven't had a lot of time to write about banned books this year. But I did want to include at least one post about it, so today I wanted to share one of the book series that it seems most people are surprised to find on the list: Junie B. Jones by Barbara Park.

According to Wikipedia:
The Junie B. Jones series came in at #71 on the American Library Association's list of the Top 100 Banned or Challenged Books from 2000-2009. Reasons cited are poor social values taught by the books and Junie B. Jones not being considered a good role model due to her mouthiness and bad spelling/grammar. This is an interesting example of a banned book. Many times there are serious, controversial topics featured in books that are challenged. Things like homosexuality, drugs, vulgar language, etc. You can actually understand why people may not want their children to read those books, and why they may challenge their inclusion in school libra…
