March has been my best reading month so far this year. I'm proud of myself for reading and reviewing a pretty long but enjoyable fantasy novel at the author's request (it's been a while). It's also been a while since I just browsed in the library and brought home a book--and I'm so glad that The Library at the Edge of the World caught my eye. I read a book off my TBR, Station Eternity, and this was the fortuitous month when my book clubs overlapped and picked the same book! (They both read a lot of historical fiction, so it was bound to happen sometime.)
- The Shadow of Theron by Kathryn Troy--Beautifully written fantasy romance. See my review here.
- The Only Woman in the Room by Marie Benedict (BOTH book clubs)--Interesting if you want to learn more about Heddy Lamarr. Easy read.
- Station Eternity by Mur Lafferty--I got strong Babylon 5 vibes the whole time (there's a quote in the epilogue), and the subtitle is "Midsolar Mysteries." Highly recommend for SFF/mystery fans.
- The Library at the Edge of the World by Felicity Hayes-McCoy--I just picked this up off the shelf, and took it home, thinking it would be a typical romance set in small-town Ireland--boy, was I glad to be wrong! This book is a blueprint for community building set around a library on the coast of Ireland, and for whatever reason, it was just what I was in the mood for.
