March 2016 TBR

Jen 

So many of the books that I want to read in March are continuing on with series that I am slowly making my way through. I actually didn’t realise that I had started so many series! I usually like to f inish a series before starting another but that appears to be something that has changed with my reading in recent months. 

Dark Triumph & Mortal Heart (His Fair Assassin #2 & #3) by Robin LaFevers

I read the first book in this trilogy in February and absolutely loved it. I can’t wait to continue on with the series and see what the next books bring! 

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (#3) by J.K. Rowling

Anne of the Island (#3) by L.M. Montgomery 

Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz (Oz #4) by L Frank Baum 

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Chronicles of Narnia #2) by C.S. Lewis

This is one children’s series that I never read when I was a kid. I bought the bind-up collection of all seven books in February, read the first book (I’m reading this series in chronological order because that’s how they appear in the edition that I have) and really enjoyed it. I’m excited to read this one because to me this is where the series really gets started.

City of Fallen Angels (The Mortal Instruments #4), City of Lost Souls (#5) & City of Heavenly Fire (#6) by Cassandra Clare

I had wanted to listen to all of these on audiobook in February but that came to an annoying halt when the e-audiobook of City of Fallen Angels wasn’t available from my library yet. I will finally have access to it in March and I can continue with my re-read/listen of the series.

This is turning out to be a long and overly ambitious TBR list but there are a few more series that I would love to at least start if I can get to them. 

Dark Heart Forever (Dark Heart trilogy #1) by Lee Monroe

This is the first book in a paranormal romance series that Mel has read and loved and recommended to me on several occasions. It is also one of Mel’s TBR picks for me in 2016 and after having these books sitting on my shelf for months I want to finally start this trilogy! 

The School for Good and Evil (School for Good and Evil trilogy #1) by Soman Chainani This is a middle grade magical fantasy series that I have been hearing a lot of good things about lately and it sounded very intriguing to me so I decided that I wanted to read it. 

Delirium trilogy (Delirium, Pandemonium & Requiem) by Lauren Oliver

It has been so long, almost a year in fact since I read a dystopian series that wasn’t a re-read. Out of all the unread dystopian series that I own, this one probably gets the most negative reviews, which is the main reason why it keeps getting pushed further down my TBR list. It’s time I stop putting it off and just read the series. Even if I don’t read the entire trilogy, I at least want to read the first book.

I have a feeling this month is going to be a month where I just pick what I feel like at the time. However, I do have a few in mind that I will probably want to pick up regardless. The main challenge will be fitting them into my uni schedule!

Sapphire Blue by Kerstin Gier - I've already started this one, so I want to finish it.

Captive Prince by CS Pacat - another one that I've already started. I got really into the first half of the book, but since some of the themes in this book are not what I would usually read (LGBT), my interest has dwindled a bit. I'm going to stick it out though, because it's not a terrible book.

Bleach Volumes 1-3 by Tite Kubo - I found this in February and since I enjoyed the anime, I decided to give the manga a go.

Bleach Volumes 4-6 by Tite Kubo - This is a last minute addition, since I just bought it this month and it'll be a quick read, good for the drive to and from campus or a quick read between study.

Death Note Black Edition Volume 2 by Tsugumi Ohba - This is another title I just purchased. Quick and good for between study reading.

City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare (audiobook) - I really want to finish rereading the Mortal Instruments before going on to read Lady Midnight.

City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare (audiobook) - Same reason.

City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare (audiobook) - Ditto.

Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare - I'll be getting this quite soon and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to want to wait to read it!

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas - I don't know why this book is taking me so long to read! I adore Sarah's work and I even got this book signed, but I still haven't progressed very far in the year it's been out.

The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett - I have been recommended The Discworld series by several people now, so I really want to get into them!

Mort by Terry Pratchett - same reason, though this is the book everyone recommends to me, so I'm especially eager to get to this one!

If I don't at least finish those mangas, I really need a slap on the wrist!!
