03/02 How to Wash a Cat, Rebecca M. Hale (kindle) 4405 locations  Smiley Smiley Smiley mystery
03/04 The Truth About Lord Stoneville, Sabrina Jeffries (kindle) 6870 locations  Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley HR
03/06 Passion, Lisa Valdez (kindle) 4648 locations  Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley HR - very graphic with the love scenes and language, I could hear the porn movie soundtrack in my mind while reading - good story though!
03/07 Ravishing in Red, Madeline Hunter (kindle) 4983 locations Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley HR - slightly abrupt ending

Very little reading getting done this month, but in the last couple of weeks I have finished:

My Darling Caroline, Adele Ashworth (kindle) 5266 locations  Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley Excellent HR
Vi Agra Falls, Mary Daheim (kindle)  Smiley Smiley Smiley  Forgot to check location count before deleting - 336 pages according to Amazon.  Long-running mystery series.  I don't enjoy the characters so much any more, little humor left and too much contention between family members that seems contrived.

Celebutards, Andrea Peyser (kindle)  Smiley Smiley 3629 locations.  A freebie last month.  Some of it funny, lots of it mean-spirited
Lessons in Love:  A Cambridge Fellows Mysteries, Book 1  Charlie Cochran (kindle) 3344 locations A historical mystery with m/m romance - Lots of relationship establishing, not so much mystery in this one.  Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley - I have already purchased Book 2
In The Warrior's Bed, Mary Wine (kindle)  Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley 4209 locations.  A Highland HR
Deadlock, James Scott Bell (kindle) 4842 locations.  A well-written book, but I didn't care for the story.  A blend of policitics, intrigue, and a heavy dose of religion.  Smiley Smiley

I'm in!

Currently Reading:
The American Patriot's Almanac - William J. Bennett (K loc. 1631-2426)
Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand (Sony, p1-179)
Roses - Leila Meacham (Sony, p1-101)

Gave up:
Sushi for One? by Cami Tang (stopped at K loc. 3465) Haven't had great luck with Asian lit lately.

Finished Reading:
3/4: Cleopatra's Daughter - Michelle Moran (Sony, H/C p73-448) Decent historical fiction but lacks substantive plot.
3/4: Saving Sailor: A Novel - Renee Riva (K 1781 loc.)
3/4: The Help - Kathryn Stockett (Audio, approx hours 12-18, re-read) Even better than the book! Shocked

3/9: The Lightning Thief - Rick Riordan (K 5147 loc.)
3/11: Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime-John Heilemann and Mark Halperin (Sony, H/C p103-464)
3/14: Echo Park - Michael Connelly (Sony, H/C 352p) Really enjoying the Bosch series, but this one was a little on the creepy side.

3/23: The Sea of Monsters - Rick Riordan (K 3807 loc.)
3/25: The Twelve Sacred Traditions of Magnificent Mothers-in-Law - Haywood Smith (K 385 loc.) Short, but cute.
3/26: Rottweiler Rescue - Ellen O'Connell (K 3014 loc.)Very good cozy that was recommended on KB.
3/29: One Amazing Thing - Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni (H/C 220p) More a hodgepodge of short stories than a novel.
3/30: Huckleberry Finished - Livia J. Washburn (K 3625 loc.)
3/30: SuperFreakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes, and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance - Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner (Sony, H/C 288p)

All books are Kindle versions; all novels are under $6. I may continue trying to pay less than
$6 per book; I found seven new authors this month that I like (Julia Quinn, Laura Levine,
Gena Showalter, Marianne Stillings, Johanna Lindsey, Kate Perry, and Suzanne Macpherson)
and I didn't overspend on books. It did take some time reading through a zillion samples though.

FICTION

1. This Matter of Marriage by Debbie Macomber - good
2. Lady Be Good by Susan Elizabeth Phillips - good but not sure what the main couple saw in each other
3. The Bachelor Preferred Pastry by Shirley Jump - one in a series of food romances w/recipes
4. It's in His Kiss by Julia Quinn - historical, really good - plan to read the rest of the series, my fave this month
5. Chasing Harry Winston by Lauren Weisberger - good
6. This Pen for Hire: A Jaine Austen Mystery by Laura Levine - really funny, will read more of the series
7. The Wife Trap by Tracy Anne Warren - good except didn't like the heroine
8. Squeeze Play by Kate Angell - baseball romance, good
9. No Other Love by Candace Camp - ok but didn't feel realistic
10. Catch a Mate by Gena Showalter - really fun, another new author discovery
11. Talk of the Town by Suzanne Macpherson - really good, can't wait to read the author's other books
12. The Devil Who Tamed Her by Johanna Lindsey - pretty good
13. Project Date by Kate Perry - a lot of fun, another new to me author
14. Nerd Gone Wild by Vicki Lewis Thompson - ok
15. Trust Fund Babies by Jean Stone - pretty good, formatting issues
16. Male Call by Denise A. Agnew - ok, FREE
17. Satisfaction by Marianne Stillings - really good, will read more by her

NONFICTION

18. The Ten Best-Ever Anxiety Management Techniques by Margaret Wehrenberger - very helpful book but partial
font problem in Kindle version
19. Naturally Thin by Bethenny Frankel - ok, like the recipes
20. Raw Food for Real People by Rod Rotondi - ok
21. Eat Smart, Walk Strong by Leslie Sansone - was FREE, a tad preachy, recipes look great

DID NOT FINISH

Slow Hands by Leslie Kelly, Harlequin Blaze, FREE

IN PROGRESS, READING SLOWLY

The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maughan, FREE

I'll give this a try - seems like a good way to keep track of what I've read

1. Head Over Heels - Susan Anderson - 4,655 loc - fin 3/1 - Enjoyable  SmileySmileySmileySmiley
2. Lady of Milkweed Manor - Julie Klassen - 3,897 loc - fin 3/1 - Freebie. Well-written, but depressing except for happy ending  SmileySmileySmiley 1/2
3. Conspiracy in Death - J.D. Robb - 6,632 loc - fin 3/3 - Great as usual  SmileySmileySmileySmiley
4. Booth's Sister - Jane Singer - 2,041 loc - DNF - Freebie. I was quite disappointed in this. Was expecting historical fiction. Instead it was, well, hard to describe what it was, but for me at least, it was not readable.
5. A Bride Most Begrudging - Deanna Gist - 5,876 loc - fin 3/4 - Freebie, good writing but a bit slow  SmileySmileySmiley
6. Moonstone - Marilee Brothers - 2,296 loc - fin 3/5 - Still working my way through freebies.  SmileySmileySmiley 1/2
7. Healing Back Pain: The Mind Body Connection - John Sarno - fin 3/6 - 2,820 loc - Currently have a pinched nerve in my back. I hope this book works!!!
8. Cowgirl Up and Ride - Lorelei James - 3,321 loc - fin 3/6 -  Hot cowboys SmileySmileySmileySmiley
9. Lessons In French - Laura Kinsale - 5,167 loc - fin 3/8 - Regency, great characters SmileySmileySmileySmiley
10. Crux - Moira Rogers - 5,440 loc - fin 3/9 - great characterizations, uneven plotting.  SmileySmileySmiley 1/2
11. Demon Fire - Kate Douglas - 6,120 loc - fin 3/9 - Freebie. Good story, but uneven pacing  SmileySmileySmiley 1/2
12. Wife in the Mirror - Emjae Edwards - 3,620 loc - fin 3/10 - Freebie from Smashwords. TSTL characters SmileySmiley 1/2
13. Taming the Shrew - Cari Hislop - 2,175 loc - fin 3/11 - Smashwords special. A retelling of The Taming of the Shrew as a campy Regency romance parody. SmileySmileySmileySmileySmiley
14. A Companion for Life - Cari Hislop - 5,088 loc - fin 3/12 - Another Regency romance parody, politically very incorrect.  SmileySmileySmileySmiley 1/2
15. In The Mood - Ellen Fisher - 1,449 loc. - fin 3/13 - My only criticism is that this was too short.  SmileySmileySmileySmiley
16. Lucky in Love - Cari Hislop - 2,664 loc - fin 3/13 - Loved this author  SmileySmileySmileySmiley
17. Magic Bites - Ilona Andrews - 3,883 loc - fin 3/14 - Can't wait to read the next book!  SmileySmileySmileySmiley 1/2
18. The Billionaire Next Door - Jessica Bird aka JR Ward - 3,002 loc - fin 3/14 -  SmileySmileySmileySmiley

38. Bone Crossed - Patricia Briggs - 4,903 loc - fin 3/30 - reread  SmileySmileySmileySmiley 1/2

Summary: Wow, that was a lot of books. I guess that's why my book budget has been so high? Definitely going to do this again in April. In my defense, I was laid up half the month with a pinched nerve in my back and nothing to do but read. Favorite book of the month - the rereads of Patricia Briggs. Favorite new book(s) - too many to choose from. I read a lot of good books this month.
