Hi y’all! Can you believe we are in March already? We had a fun and busy birthday celebration weekend at our house. So I’m a bit behind getting this post written. But I am excited for this month of reading!
First, here’s how February turned out!
I finished 9 books in February.
I published 5 reviews including my review of The Chronicles of Narnia.
The 10 Habits of Happy Mothers by Meg Meeker
Circus Mirandus by Cassie Beasley
The Tempest by William Shakespeare
The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis
A Visit to William Blake’s Inn by Nancy Willard
I also started The Grapes of Wrath which I am listening to on audiobook and a few other books I’m excited about.
I am being ambitious for March because who would I be if I didn’t have goals that stretched me? 😉
I hope to finish the three books I’m reading now–yes, including The Grapes of Wrath.
I hope to start my next classic for The Classics Club. Here are the titles that top my list:
I plan to read at least one more Newbery winner in addition to Hitty. Here are the titles at the top of that list:
And I’d like to read a book from my shelves that’s on my TBR. Here are a few I’ve been eyeing for 2019:
What are your reading goals for March?

Oh, I know I’m a bit late but did you end up reading North and South? Because it’s one of my all-time favourite classics, and in case you haven’t read it yet, I’d really recommend it xD

I literally just finished North and South last night! We recently moved cross country so I finally had some good reading time.
I LOVED IT TOO!! Seriously, I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to read it. It was fantastic!

I just discovered your blog through this post and I really like your reading tastes 🙂 just a short question about Marilla of Green Gables (I’ve only read Anne of Green Gables so far): is it a prequel about Marilla’s life?

Thank you!! I am so glad you stopped by!
Yes, it’s a prequel about Marilla from when she was about 13 to probably a few years before Anne comes. It’s quite lovely.

I read a few Steinbeck books in high school, but I somehow missed The Grapes of Wrath. I really liked Olive Kitteridge and Interpreter of Maladies, so I hope you do, too. Happy March!

Thanks, AJ! Glad you enjoyed both of those Pulitzer Prize winners! Pulitzer Prize winners intimidate me overall. Hope you have a great March too!

Thank you, Marilyn! I hope you have a great reading month as well. Sounds like a lovely group of books. I hope you enjoyed the Gone With the Wind edition. Sounds lovely!

Interpreter of Maladies is a good read, especially the story about the lights going off. I see you have a few LM Montgomery titles on here (well, one is an extension of the Anne universe), so I hope you enjoy those! Naomi @ Consumed by Ink felt that the Marilla book stood up to the test when she read it right after it came out.

I’m glad to hear Interpreter of Maladies is worthwhile–I picked it up on a whim at a library book sale several years ago. I am so glad to hear Naomi enjoyed Marilla–I value her Anne opinion a lot 🙂 I am enjoying it thus far–reads like Montgomery herself.
