March was a pretty decent reading month for me but it wasn’t so great for reviewing and blogging. Out of the 10 books I read, I’ve only reviewed 4 
Books read and reviewed:
True Colors by Kristin Hannah
Conspiracy in Death by J.D. Robb
Lethal Legacy by Linda Fairstein
Dog On It by Spenser Quinn
Books read but need to be reviewed:
I’m Watching You by Karen Rose
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
Willing Spirits by Phyllis Schieber
Tourist Season by Carl Hiaasen
The World in Half by Cristina Henriquez
Summer World by Bernd Heinrich
Favorite book read this month: Wow. I’ve read some great ones this month. I’m Watching You, Willing Spirits, The World in Half, Dog On It, and True Colors were all fantastic reads.
Least favorite book read this month: Tourist Season and Brave New World -- not my cuppa’ tea. I know, I know, Brave New World is a classic - glad I read it, still didn’t like it.

Oh, you have three good ones there with Their Eyes Were Watching God, The Echo Maker, and Never Let Me Go. I'd read them first, in that order. You did well this month. I left some comments on your Dog On It review as I recommend it too. I can't wait for your review of Summer World. I tried for an ARC at LT but didn't get it. I read his Ravens in Winter and it was a truly superior book of non fiction.
I will buy this (rare for me) if I can't get a copy some other way. I'm curious about The World in Half too since you liked it so much. Happy reading in April.
