In March I read sixteen books, which was a lot and it was kind of stressful to try and read so many in one month. I was overly ambitious with eighteen books on my reading list. I ended up not getting to three of them but instead I read one that wasn't planned (an Alpha and Omega book with the husband), and I've started but not finished another one that wasn't planned (Dragons of Autumn Twilight). I'm currently still reading one book. I also had a couple of DNFs, but I got pretty far into them before I stopped.

The Last Graduate (Scholomance #2) by Naomi Novik
2.5 of 5 stars
Category: Young Adult
Genre: Fantasy
Content: Strong language, A mostly non-descriptive sex scene.
I thought book one was pretty good but this one had a lot of repetition
in it and I got bored with it at times. There's so much info dumping
about the same things over and over, and we already covered a lot of it
in the first book. Way too much inner monologue from the main character,
who is not the most likable person. Mostly though, I just don't feel
much of a connection to the characters. Most of them feel rather two
dimensional to me. I doubt I'll read the third book, and I'm good with
leaving things on a cliffhanger. I had bought a hardcover copy of this
book for 5.99 on Book Outlet and it is a beautiful book. I especially
love the maps of the school in it, but now I have to decide if I really
want to keep it just because it's pretty.
Wild Sign (Alpha and Omega #6) by Patricia Briggs
This was a reread.
4 of 5 stars, the same as before.
Category: Adult
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Content: Strong Language, mildly descriptive sex
The Killing Code (DCI Logan #3) by JD Kirk
4 of 5 stars
Category: Adult
Genre: Mystery
Content: Strong language, Some very gruesome murders
I continue to like this series even though the subject matter can be pretty dark, and the murders are gruesome.
Rise of the Ranger (The Echos Saga #1) by Philip C. Quaintrell
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I'll definitely be continuing with the series.
4 of 5 stars.
Review to come.

Review to come.
DNFs-
The Malevolent Seven by Sebastien de Castell
DNF at 71%
2 of 5 stars
Review to come.
Everfound (Skinjacker #3) by Neal Shusterman
This was another reread and I ended up not finishing. I had to buy the CDs to listen to it on audio because it wasn't available anywhere else. I ripped them to my laptop and ended up with a couple of chapters not downloading right. So I stopped at that point and was going to get back to it later, but other things got in the way and I ended up just abandoning the rest of the book. Since it was a reread it wasn't like I was missing anything anyway. If I have time I'll finish it later.
I'm keeping my rating at 4 of 5 stars.
Category: Young Adult
Genre: Paranormal, Fantasy
Content: Clean
Still reading-
Dragons of Autumn Twilight (Dragonlance Chronicles #1) by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman
There was a buddy read of this at Fantasy Buddy Reads and I wasn't going to join it because I've got so many other books to read, but I have such fond memories of this series. So here I am rereading this one. I'm not very far in yet, but I enjoying it all over again.
Books I didn't get to-
The Mystery Writer by Sulari Gentill
I'm going to try to fit this one into my April reading schedule, but I may not have time to get to it.
The Princess of Potential (The house Witch #4) by Delemhach
I'm going to squeeze this one in before I read The Burning Witch this month.
Of Blood and Fire by Ryan Cahill
I was sad to have to drop this one off the reading list. It's a book I've been wanting to read for months, but trying to fit two big fantasy books from two different series into one month was just too much for me. I ended up reading Rise of the Ranger, which was the other big fantasy book on the list, and I've decided to finish that series up before I start this one. I also have yet to finish The Kingfall Histories series by David Estes that I started a couple of years ago, and I want to finish it as well before I start on another one. So this one is on the back burner for quite a while now.
