My March 2015 reading round-up

I took part in the Take Control of your TBR Pile challenge in March, hosted by Kimberly at Caffeinated Book Reviewer.

I managed to read these books from my TBR pile in March:

Disgrace - Jussi Adler-Olsen

Anya's Ghost - Vera Brosgol

How Green Was My Valley - Richard Llewellyn

The Last Anniversary - Liane Moriarty

The Auschwitz Violin - Maria Angels Anglada

Station Eleven - Emily St John Mandel

I started these TBR pile books in March too, but am still reading them so will hopefully finish them in April:

The Silkworm - Robert Galbraith

Poirot Investigates - Agatha Christie

Forbidden - Tabitha Suzuma

I also read two non-fiction books in March, Reasons to Stay Alive by Matt Haig and Making Friends with Anxiety by Sarah Rayner.

I read two graphic novels from the library, The Complete Maus by Art Spiegelman and Marbles by Ellen Forney. 

And I listened to an unabridged audio book, also from my tbr, The Fry Chronicles by Stephen Fry, which was brilliant.

I plan to carry on reading mainly from my tbr pile this year, it wasn't just a goal for March. I want to read more of those lovely books that have been waiting too long.

My January 2015 reading round-up

What I read in January...

The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton

Sleepyhead by Mark Billingham

Number the Stars by Lois Lowry

The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton

The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie

Chess by Stefan Zweig

Plumdog by Emma Chichester Clark

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

The Golem and the Djinni by Helene Wecker

Precious Thing by Colette McBeth

Nearly all of these were from my to be read pile and some I had been excited about reading for ages so it was brilliant to actually read them at last.

I enjoyed all of these reads, and there was a really nice variety to my month, with a couple of crime novels, some excellent historical and magical fiction, a couple of young adult books and a gorgeous graphic novel. 

I hope (so much) that I can continue at this sort of level in 2015, it's been a lovely month as far as reading was concerned. I hope to find time and energy to write reviews of at least some of the above soon. 

Book of the month...

I have to pick two...

The Golem and the Djinni & The Miniaturist
