Here‘s my March recap. It was a great reading month & I finished 23 books! (Including 5 audiobooks, 19 fiction, 4 NF, many genres, several children‘s & classics)

I read for #SundayBuddyRead #NancyDrewBR #BobWhiteBuddies #EBBR #AuthorAMonth #ChildrensClassicRead2025 #SheSaid #RiseUpReads #JaneAustenThenAndNow #BookedInTime #FoodAndLit #Roll100 #ThematicCozies #FictionalTraveler #MonthlyNonFiction #SeriesLove2025 & #AuldLangSpine #SeriesLove2025 ⬇️

DebinHawaii …My favorites of the month were The Frozen River, Nettle and Bone, Kills Well With Others, Not That Bad, All Systems Read & Pride and Prejudice (reread for the zillionth time) & The Great Gatsby (hadn‘t read since high school) was a surprise winner. Lots of series books too—including both the 1940 & 1976 versions of our monthly Nancy Drew title. (edited) 3d

Pickpick

#Read2025 #MonthlyNonFiction

Pulled it out at the last minute & finished this one for #RiseUpReads Torn between So-So & Pick, I‘m going with a pick because while I grew up in Northern California & Oregon & was taught the history of the states, so much of it was white-washed & little was taught about women & the roles they played. This book isn‘t perfect—it slogs (I skimmed some chapters) & the focus is mostly on the white experience but there ⬇️

DebinHawaii … is some good information in here & I liked learning more about subjects & themes that intersect with historical fiction I‘ve read.

peanutnine As always, the history of violence against the indigenous peoples is so upsetting in its cruelty 💔 2w
AmyG Human beings are so very cruel. 2w
mhillis Yes and all the buffalo herds killed too. The folk tale from Old Lady Horse about their disappearance was something I‘d never heard before (edited) 2w

Butterfinger I had to google olive. At first glance, I thought the post was horror-then the sadistic person who did experiments on enslaved people in New Orleans. I didn't know there had been an indigenous people who tattoos. 2w
peanutnine These were some of the more interesting characters that I was glad to learn more about. Mrs Nash's story was a great example of how trans people have always existed and found ways to survive in the world 2w
Catsandbooks @peanutnine Their story was one that really stood out to me! 1w
