March was good. No, wait. March was excellent.
This month contained a read-a-long, an amazing graphic novel, a fascinating look at language, an essay on feminism, and the most beautifully brutal novel I’ve ever read. I don’t know how any month will ever be able to compare.
Here’s what I read/loved:
Pet Sematary by Stephen King
Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel
Rat Queens, Volume 1: Sass & Sorcery by Kurtis J. Wiebe & Roc Upchurch
A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara
That’s Not English by Erin Moore
Mosquitoland by David Arnold
We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche
My favorite book of the month was A Little Life. It’s almost impossible to discuss because of the flailing, teeth gnashing, and garment rending that happens whenever I think of it. We will give it a try on The Socratic Salon in late April. That’s a discussion you won’t want to miss.
How was your reading in March? Do you have a favorite book of the month?

Wow, sounds like a great month! My favorite book from March was Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver. The rest of what I read was kind of meh, unfortunately. Here's hoping April is more satisfying!

I don't think I can handle A Little Life. My teeth already gnash far too often.

Jennifer, I really enjoyed Station Eleven; I think my favorite book in March was Smoke by Meili Cady (nonfiction). You gals have me totally conflicted about A Little Life; I want to be able to participate in the discussion, but I have no idea what to expect from this book! GAH! Y'all are killing me! Great roundup for the month!

I loved Pet Semetery so much years ago when I read it in the 90's, that I named my cat, Church, after the cat in the book. :-)Station Eleven I read too, and while I liked it, I like The Singer's Gun by Emily St. John Mandel better.You did good though for books!Happy April reading!

You had some great books this month – A Little Life and Station 11 in one month? Lucky you! I'll definitely be there for the Salon's discussion on that one. Also – I sampled the very first bit of Mosquitoland yesterday and love the writing…I'll be reading that one in the near future (mostly thanks to your daughter's review).

I loved March too! My favorite book of the month was probably Our Endless Numbered Days. I WOULD say A Little Life, but I'm still not finished yet. Oops.
