March Reading Wrap-Up

March was a great month for books, especially audiobooks with all the driving I did! Here’s a little about each book:

-The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn – I listened to this classic, masterfully narrated by Elijah Wood, to have more context for James

-James by Percival Everett – The story of Jim from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, one that needed telling and was written to perfection

-Madwoman by Chelsea Baker – A woman’s picture perfect life unravels when the mother she thought was dead reemerges in her life

-The Garden by Nick Newman – An interesting dystopian about two elderly sisters whose lives are upended when a stranger shows up in their garden.

-ARC of The Lost Baker of Vienna by Sharon Kurzman - a beautifully written and moving dual timeline set in the aftermath of WWII, inspired by the author’s family.

-The Dream Hotel by Leila Lalami – a terrifying look at what can happen if dreams are monitored and taken seriously and bureaucracy detains people for longer than needed.

-Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix – a wild ride of a book about pregnant young women whose cruel caretakers are in for some trouble when the girls find a book on witchcraft.

-Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt – A nonfiction that peels back the layers of Savannah’s residents in a way that is both fascinating and juicy - Lady Chablis was the true star of this book

-On Our Best Behavior by Elise Loehnen – The seven deadly sins in how they apply to women in history and in a contemporary setting

-Funny Story by Emily Henry – A fun, adorable romance about roommates who live together when their fiances leave them for each other.

-Starling House by Alex E. Harrow - a dark fairy tale for grown-ups with a gothic edge.

-The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo – a lushly written story in medieval Italy where a scullery maid possesses magical abilities that open to door to innumerable dangers…
