**Reading Wrap-Up: Books Read in March**
I recently finished reading some books and I'm excited to share my thoughts with you all. First up, I read "A Court of Sacrifice" by Sarah J. Maas, which is the third book in the ACOTAR series featuring Jaime Juarez. I have to say that I loved this series so far, and it's been a great read for me.
I also recently finished reading "Maddox Brother, Um Series" by an unknown author (the title was mentioned as part of the author's name). Unfortunately, I didn't quite connect with the main characters in this book, but I did enjoy the plot. The story follows a girl who has a huge secret about her family and relationships, which unfortunately doesn't quite work out as planned.
Next up, I read "The Boy Most Likely to" by Ben Fitzpatrick. This is a new release that's supposed to come out soon, but I was lucky enough to get an advance review copy of it. I have to say that I'm really excited about this book - it follows Alice Palmer, who meets a girl named Fitzpatrick at her high school reunion.
**Reviewing the Books**
I've been trying to keep track of my reading in more detail lately, and I wanted to share some thoughts on the books I've read recently. One of my favorite parts of reading is getting to know other readers and seeing what they thought of a particular book.
I also love when I get to talk about the books I've read with others. It's always great to hear different perspectives and opinions, and it makes me realize that there's more than one way to interpret a story or its characters. If you have any thoughts on books you've recently read, feel free to share them in the comments!
**Sci-Fi Fun: "The Martian"**
One of my favorite parts of reading is discovering new genres and authors that I might not have tried otherwise. Recently, I found myself stepping out of my comfort zone with Andy Weir's "The Martian". I've always been interested in sci-fi, but sometimes it can be a bit too technical for me.
However, this book was different from most sci-fi novels I've read - it had a great sense of humor and an engaging plot that followed Mark Watney, an astronaut who gets stranded on Mars. I loved the way Weir wrote about science and technology, making it accessible to non-experts like myself.
I gave "The Martian" 5 out of 5 stars - it was truly amazing! The author's voice came through in every part of the story, from Watney's sarcastic humor to the detailed explanations of scientific concepts. Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves sci-fi or just wants a fun and engaging read.
**A Mix of Romance and Drama: "Nowhere but Here"**
For my next review, I decided to talk about Katie McGarry's new series, Thunder Road. The first book in the series is called "Nowhere but Here", which follows Emily Mayfield as she falls for a boy named Jake Taylor who's part of a motorcycle gang.
I have to say that I was a bit disappointed with this book - it didn't quite live up to my expectations based on reviews and ratings. However, I did enjoy the romance between Emily and Jake, and I loved the world-building in this story. The author does a great job of creating a sense of tension and danger in the plot.
Overall, I would recommend "Nowhere but Here" if you're a fan of romance or dramas with a bit of action thrown in. It's not my favorite book by McGarry (that distinction belongs to "Life After Lost"), but it was still a great read for me.
**Keeping Track of My Reading**
As I mentioned earlier, I've been trying to keep track of my reading more closely lately. So far, I'm well ahead of my goal of 35 books for the year, and I'm hoping to reach 50 by the end of the year. It's a challenge, but it's also fun to see how many new authors and genres I can discover!
Overall, March has been a great month for reading, and I'm excited to dive into what's next on my list. Whether you're looking for romance, sci-fi, or something else entirely, there's always something out there for readers like us. Happy reading!
