8 More in March

Books from March 2018

March saw me read through another 8 books and I might be on a roll with that quantity after reading 8 in February. My favorite book of the month has to go to Ready Player One by Ernest Cline and while I haven’t seen the movie that recently came out, I am looking forward to it. The book was definitely entertaining and will slot nicely into my top A list of books.

• The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman, 2016 (B+)
• Forward the Foundation by Isaac Asimov, 1992 (B+)
