I suspect I’m going to feel this way at many future monthly wrap-ups, but I can’t believe it’s the end of March already! This month, I’m feeling very aware of how much I need to do before I graduate, although also very excited about how things are going. Despite school keeping me busy, it’s been a great month of reading. In particular, I’m happy that I’ve done a better job than last month of fitting in some translated books and other diverse reads.
Books Read
So far, I’m reading about the same amount every month this year, with 11 books in March.
- In Other Words
- Voices from Chernobyl
- The Fellowship: The Literary Lives of the Inklings
- Jane Steele
- Terrible Virtue
- Missoula
- The Chief
- Grace Hopper and the Invention of the Information Age
- Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

My most popular post this month was a review and giveaway of A Tyranny of Petticoats, a great collection of historical fiction short stories featuring diverse female heroines.
April Preview
For Autism Awareness month in April, our nonfiction book club will be reading The Reason I Jump.
I’m also particularly excited for Dewey’s 24 Hour Read-a-thon. I’m hopeful that I can have the bulk of my thesis writing done before then and take the day to read!

I’m just about to write my quarterly wrap up post, and I can’t believe so much of 2016 is already gone. Didn’t it just start!?
DoingDewey
I know! I feel the same way.

Busy month indeed. Happy April!
DoingDewey
It’s true! Happy April to you too 🙂

Great month! I have got to get to Jane Steele!
DoingDewey
Oh, you should! It was a very fun read.

I have Lab Girl sitting in my tbr. What did you think of it??
Also, I’ve picked up The Reason I Jump, and am very happy that it’s relatively short – should be able to fit it in! 🙂
DoingDewey
I loved it and I’m guessing you would too! It was an interesting memoir and had some fascinating fun facts about plants as well. And I’m also happy how short The Reason I Jump is. It can be hard to make time for everything!

Ugh. I feel like a broken record saying it, but I’m always saying. Where did X month go? It’s true though they just fly by.
DoingDewey
Haha, exactly! I really do think I’ll be saying this every month.
Deepika Ramesh
Have a great month. And I hope you will find time to read despite your thesis. 🙂
DoingDewey
Thanks Deepika! I hope you have a great month too 🙂
Kailana
I look forward to the readathon, too!
DoingDewey
It’s always one of my favorite events 🙂

Is Lab Girl good? I’m interested in getting a copy. It looks like you had a stellar month. Not sure how you do school reading on top of all this. Kudos.
DoingDewey
Lab Girl was so good! I thought it was a great memoir and had an approachable take on some fascinating science.
Melinda
You’ve had a busy month! I’m still busy catching up 😉
DoingDewey
I feel as though I’m still catching up too! There’s always more to do with a blog 🙂

Good luck on your thesis. Mine was so long ago I actually remember that time fondly. I didn’t remember it at all fondly soon after – I was totally burnt out. 🙂 No pressure. I forgot about the Readathon, I haven’t done it for years. I’ll be working that weekend, so it would be difficult for me to participate. I’ll see, though. It was fun when I used to do it.
DoingDewey
Thanks Rachel! At the moment, I can’t imagine remembering it fondly yet, but I’m sure I’ll get there someday 🙂
