Sunday Salon - Monthly Reading Update - March 28, 2010


It was a busy reading month for me and I may have forgotten to write down some books. I've been following the SLJ Battle of the Kid's Books which will be ending April 5th. I've also been doing some picture book reading for the upcoming Mock Newbery club. This coming month will see me doing more Mock Newbery and Mock Printz reading as well as participating in the Dewey ReadAthon.

Read on for my fake challenge participation and how my book buying squeeze has gone this past month.

Book Buying
I am appalled at the amount of money I spent on books this month!  It was so bad, only $4 less than this time last year!  And more than last month!  I am really trying to reel it in but it's been faster than waiting for the library.  But I did buy some awesome books:

The King of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner
The Conspiracy of Kings by Megan Whalen Turner

Total books read in March - 22
Best Book of March - Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner

One quarter of the year has passed!  I've read a grand total of 56 books! So much for slowing down...
