Of the 18 books I read in March these were the top 12. March started slow for me, but I think The Woman In White, Beautyland, and History of Sound will be on my best of 25 list.

AmyG Oh, did I love Beautyland. Next up in my ereader is The History of Sound. 21h

It‘s my favorite hour of the weekend! #HyggeHour

I had a late lunch so skipped dinner but needed a little toast and butter to get me through the night. Also enjoying cinnamon milk using the recipe from @kspenmoll

And for books finally starting the March #Naturalitsy read.

Enjoy your hour all.

kspenmoll Are you enjoying the cinnamon milk? I have mine too. I hope it soothes you! 2d

My usual Sunday night volunteer gig is as a hall monitor during Religious Education classes. Usually I‘m with the teens but tonight they needed me with the littles. My typical reading time has turned into trying to talk a small child from yelling “noodles” over and over at the top of his lungs. Not gonna lie I kind of want to join. Something about yelling noodles in church appeals to me. Not much reading getting done though.

TheBookHippie I approve this message. ♥️ 2d

Finally got around to this one for #TOB25

I assumed this would be total fluff (not that there‘s anything wrong with that) but it was pretty deep albeit in a fluffy way. I liked what it had to say about taking care of yourself, finding the true you as you get older, loneliness, and grief. I loved how the author handled the pandemic. It made me laugh too.

Not my favorite short list title, but I can see why so many people love it.

Getting my stack of books together for April and it's about a half a cat high. It's way too ambitious given I don't read that many physical books any more. We'll see though. I do have spring break and lighter nights coming up. I'll tag the books in the comments because I also have a bunch of audiobooks and kindle books I want to get to too. Oh and a trip to the library today to pick up some more holds...

It took me a while to get through this book about the massacre of Nepal‘s Royal family in 2001, but I ended up liking it. I still have a lot of questions about what happened, but the authors did a good job of setting the scene as best they could. I read a lot of mountaineering books so it was good to get a different sense of the country‘s recent history. #FoodAndLit #Nepal

RamsFan1963 This was published after Crichton passed away, and eventhough it has his name on it, it didn't feel like one of his books to me, it was too short and underdeveloped. It feels like someone to his notes or maybe an outline and "ghost" wrote the rest. 1mo

If you‘re reading this for insights on the Apollo 13 mission don‘t. However if you want fun stories about astronaut training from a guy with a laid back attitude this is worth a read. I loved the stories about the different places they traveled to study geology before going to the moon. I also appreciated his thoughts about climate change at the end too.

Daisey I love the flavor of my homemade sourdough tortillas, but I always have a hard time sharing them and they don‘t stay as flexible. These look great! 1mo
Bookwormjillk @Daisey yeah mine are a little crispy and misshapen. I‘ll see how they work for quesadillas tomorrow night. 1mo
Bookwormjillk @Soubhiville it‘s a good read as well! The author travels around to different farms and has blurbs about several of them. 1mo
