Fifteen books in one month just blows me away! Well done--I have got to get a copy of that Elizabeth Gilbert book. I did like Eat, Pray, Love, and this sounds even better.
ReplyDeleteHappy spring--happy reading.
I agree with Jane, 15 books in one month is amazing! I'm glad you are enjoying so much of what you are reading/listening to, too. I just read a review of Frog Music yesterday, so I'm curious what you will think when you get to it. I'm curious about The Signature of All Things, too.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading, Diane. I love your header, too :-)
I LOVED Signature of All Things! It was my favorite book of last year, along with Helene Wecker's the Golem and the Jinni. I have Frog Music on my list this month too.
ReplyDeleteWow! March was a great reading month for you, Diane! Many of your April books sound very good.
ReplyDeleteI love all lists that have The Signature of All Things described as a favourite!!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your thoughts on Frog Music. I loved Room, but I'm not sure this new one is for me.
The Signature of All Things is on my Kindle, waiting to be read....by this summer, I vow!

I want to read The Signature of All Things, but you also have a bunch of other interesting titles I would like to check out. Sounds like a great month you had!
ReplyDeleteYou had a great month! I really want that Elizabeth Gilbert book in my life!
ReplyDeleteHappy April reading!
Great reading month! Let me check...I managed to finish 4 whole books in March :)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your thoughts on a couple of the April books!
ReplyDeleteGreat reading month for you. I just started The Bear on audio.
ReplyDeleteYou had a fabulous month! You're the second person in two days to tell that you loved the Gilbert book! I will have to make time for it.
ReplyDeleteI was the exact opposite to you. My reading month was terrible! I am hoping April will be better!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to give The Signature of All Things a second chance. I have it on my Nano and started it yesterday while flying to Oregon, but couldn't get interested. Maybe I tried too soon after reading a thriller (Birdman by Mo Hayder).
ReplyDeleteI read eight books, the Invention of Wings was my favorite. I put all your 4.5 and 5 books on my TBR list. you have not let me down! fifteen was a good month for you! I also recommend the movie Enough Said, very good...
ReplyDeleteI'll be anxious to hear your thoughts on Frog Music as I was mesmerized by Room. Interesting that you liked the Gilbert so much, I should probably read it in that case.
