Wow…. March is here and gone…. seriously? As awful as March weather has been in Minnesota this year, (in fact it is dreary and snowing right now…. GRRRR), it did go fast. Thanks goodness I guess.
However – I feel my reading took a dive this month from my previous awesome reading in January and February… here is what I read in March:

It’s April 1…. a new comment month has not officially started 😀
Book Journey 
As much as you post about the activities you are involved in, I’m surprised you have time to read any books at all! 🙂
LOL…. yeah…. sometimes, me too 🙂
Congrats Hannah and Cheryl!
Great reading month! Happy April Reading!

Yes on to April 🙂 Thanks for the link!
That’s an impressive number of books for the month! Great job!
Its more than I thought…. I really thought I had done quite poorly – but thank goodness for audio 😀
Your map looks quite interesting! Fun to see it progress. 🙂 And yay! 😀
Its fun Hannah and I now get excited about where a book is “from” 😀
Congrats on the win! 😀
Thanks!
I kind of wish I’d joined your map challenge … But too late now. :p
Well – it’s not… you would just have to play catch up 😀 Its so fun to see where all those pegs land – and I am surprised of the amount I read outside of the states.
I don’t read outside the States enough.
I started doing this, but then realized that a large majority of my books took place in the UK, and most of the others took place in the “unmappable”: The Underworld, The Planet Rakhat, Narnia, Heaven, etc. Super fun idea, though! 🙂
I have a couple unmappable too Cori…. UK is though 🙂
Lol, yes it is. I more meant that I had, like, 20 little markers in the same place. 🙂
😛
Good reading month! And you’re all over the map, too….congrats.
I love the map Laurel….. its so exciting to see where the book are from 😀
Wow, 15 books is a slow month for you?? Holy cow. That’s about double what I can usually read in a month, Sheila – I think you’re doing great!
And you’re really moving along on Where in the World, too! I’m impressed. I’ve had a recent slew of books without locations!
Enjoy the weekend –
Sue
About half of those are audio…. thank goodness 😀 I guess it wasn’t as bad as I thought Sue…. it feels like I have read nothing this past couple of weeks…. posting today made it look better than I thought 😀
You’ve got some wonderful books on that list. I am loving doing the Google Maps!
Me too…. so fun 😀
March is gone but it left its awful weather behind – or was that February? I’m confused.
I hear you Barbara… I dont know what that was but it was yucky! 😛
