What was the best book your read in March?
Plus the Anderberg family's favorites
Hey there, readers!
Once again, it’s time to chat about our favorite reads of the previous month. Here’s what our family most enjoyed in March:
Jeremy: There’s a decent chance both of these books end up on my year-end favorites list. Percival Everett’s brand new James floored me. It was nearly perfect. And Kieran Setiya’s Midlife was a philosophical and meaningful look at how to approach and respond to middle age.
Jane: The Art Thief made for a quick and delightful listen on our Spring Break road trip. It’s true crime at its best, with no grisly or violent backdrop.
Graham (8.5 years old): The oldest kiddo has blasted through nearly all of the five books in the Aru Shah series. As a fan of all things Rick Riordan, he was excited to find out about the Percy Jackson author’s publishing imprint.
Willa (6 years old): While Graham has already made his way through all 20+ Dragon Masters books, Willa has just started her journey. She’s just starting to get the hang of reading, so it’ll be fun to experience that joy and wonder again.
Bo (3 years old): A children’s classic, The Very Hungry Caterpillar is perhaps even more enjoyable in the form of a board book. Bo quite likes it; I think your little ones would do.
Alright — your turn! What was your favorite February read?
Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel and The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles. Both so good I didn’t want them to end and had to make myself slow down.
I just finished Still Life by Louise Penny last night. It is definitely worth the praise seen from so many people here on Read More Books. While I wouldn't call it a perfect crime procedural (some of the archery explanations/descriptions fell short), the characters are all very believable and well written. And despite not being action packed, it was still a page turner.
