March 2013 Wrap-Up

Hey, so another month has gone, and here's what I read this month!

The Madness Underneath (Shades of London, #2)  Requiem (Delirium, #3)  Hidden (Avena, #1)

1. The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson
2. The Madness Underneath by Maureen Johnson
3. Requiem by Lauren Oliver
4. Hidden by Marianne Curley
5. Zom-B City by Darren Shan
6. This Is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith
7. In The Shadow of Blackbirds by Cat Winters (half way through)

Yay, I read more than four books this month! I'm slowly getting back into reading, I think, so hopefully it'll last but it's exams soon so we'll see. The Name of the Star was a reread, so that I'd be completely ready for The Madness Underneath, and seriously, this series is amazing. I hope to have my review of The Madness Underneath up this month, seeing as it's already pretty late... I finished the Delirium trilogy, with the final book Requiem, and my review is here. I wasn't happy with the open end, but I went to Lauren Oliver's signing and she explained why she left it like that and now I can appreciate it. I actually managed to post my review of Hidden within a few days of finishing it, and that can be found here. Zom-B City was a good quick read, and In The Shadow of Blackbirds is proving to be very spooky so far... But that's good, I'm really enjoying it!

Pages read this month: 2230
Average number of pages per book: 343

 My favourite book of the month was...

THIS IS WHAT HAPPY LOOKS LIKE by Jennifer E. Smith

This Is What Happy Looks Like

I loved this! It's not often that I'm able to read a 400 page book in one day, but with this one I did. My review will be posted later this week, hopefully.

Here's what I'm looking forward to reading in April:

The Hit  The Madman's Daughter (The Madman's Daughter, #1)  Between Shades of Gray

And here are some other new releases to look forward to!

Impostor (Slide #2)    This Is What Happy Looks Like
In the Shadow of Blackbirds  Geekhood: Mission Improbable  The Elite (The Selection, #2)

Thanks for reading, and don't forget to let me know in the comments what you've been reading this month!

    You had a really good month, Bella! Although I didn't enjoy The Statistical Probability very much I really want to read This is What Happy Looks Like so I'm really glad that you enjoyed it.

    I've already read The Hit and I don't think you'll be disappointed; it's such a good book!
    I'm also waiting for The Elite because I loved The Selection.

    Wishing you the best for April! :)
