glacier_kittyA book recommended by a librarian: The Woman They Could Not Silence by Kate Moore (Feb 29-Mar 5). Wow, Elizabeth Packard was one strong lady! It's crazy what you could have been put in an asylum for in the 1800s, including "business anxieties" and "novel reading" (I would have been committed a long time ago!). A woman couldn't have strong opinions or she was "hysterical"..I said "ugh" so many times when reading this, but I'm glad Elizabeth prevailed!
A book by a self-published author: Upheaval by Harley Tate (Mar 6-7). Natural disaster book, one of my favorite genres lol
An LGBTQ+ romance novel: Teach the Torches to Burn by Caleb Roehrig (Mar 8-11). If I have to read romance, I definitely prefer LGBTQ+ ones lol
A book in which a character sleeps for more than 24 hours: The Sleeper and the Spindle by Neil Gaiman (Mar 12). This is the book I got at work's Christmas party last year. Great illustrations!
A book that was published 24 years ago (2000): Deep South by Nevada Barr (Mar 13-18). Not my favorite of her novels..Anna Pigeon needs a new job lol, she always gets hurt somehow :P
A book with an unreliable narrator: The Maid by Nita Prose (Mar 18-21). The narrator was definitely on the spectrum, but she actually learned how to read people better by the end of the book! The twist ending confused me though..
A book written during NaNoWriMo: Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree (Mar 22-24). OMG LOVED. Friendship and food (the description of cinnamon rolls and croissants had me drooling haha) and coziness! <3
A cozy fantasy book: Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree (Mar 24-28). Legends & Lattes was cozier, but I loved the inclusion of a very polite skeleton haha
A memoir that explores queerness: Pageboy by Elliot Page (Mar 28-30). Great title, terrible writing. The writing was all over the place, so I got confused at what point in his life he was writing about..meh
