Excited to see what everyone is reading!

How's everyone coming with their books? I'm actually doing okay. One of them is pretty long but I'm making progress!

I'm currently reading a long book too. Not sure how many books I will read this month. I have been so busy doing other things. I will be glad when summer comes.

Wha..."

Congrats! How was it?

Finally managed to reach one of my monthly goals! How did everyone else do? What were your favorite reads this month?

I think for me it was definitely Daniel Deronda but I also enjoyed Half of a Yellow Sun.

While I did not sign up for the monthly challenge I thought I would mention my favorite reads for March.

I read 13 books so if I signed up I would have missed my goal as my "normal" goal is 15 books. I guess I can blame missing the goal on March Madness.

Here are my favorites:
Georgia: A Novel of Georgia O'Keeffe by Dawn Tripp
Overall, I savored this beautifully rendered well-crafted story filled with the incredibly raw, edgy emotions that enthralled me until the very last word. This is a wonderful addition to the fictionalized biography genre.

The Firebrand and the First Lady: Portrait of a Friendship: Pauli Murray, Eleanor Roosevelt, and the Struggle for Social Justice by Patricia Bell Scott
This is a remarkable book. The firebrand referenced is Pauli Murray - a black woman who certainly needs to be known by those interested in women's history and AA history.

We Love You, Charlie Freeman by Kaitlyn Greenidge
It was a powerful and ambitious narrative that reflects the complexity of racism, communication, and religion and scientific experimentation. It is a debut novel by a black author.

Youngblood by Matt Gallagher
A raw gritty and skillfully written novel that captures the complex harsh realities of the counterinsurgency tactics employed in Iraq. The sharply drawn characters illustrate the fragile and ever-changing reality of allies, partners, and adversaries and just what is the truth at a moment.

I bought We Love You, Charlie Freeman last weekend. Your feedback/endorsement has pushed it to the top of my bedside table stack. (and March Madness is my excuse for not reading even 10, lol).

Miles: The Autobio made my list of best books ever. I recently saw Miles Ahead, the biopic starring Don Cheadle (he also directed and wrote part of the screenplay) and was very disappointed - to the point that I wondered if Don ever read the book.
