Sorry for not posting in a while! Life has been hectic, and I just keep pushing this off. It’s sad how things I love that take effort get forgotten. I hope to get back into a routine soon though! Meanwhile, here are the many things I read in March.
The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck 3.5/5 stars. It was interesting to see how this book turned out; I was not expecting some of these major turns. The story itself followed a farmer who started out humble and happy, but ended up rich and suffering. It’s crazy how much money can affect a person. I’m always wishing to be rich, but this book makes you think, maybe we really wouldn’t be able to turn out any different from those who are already rich.
A Wizard of Earthsea Ursula K. Le Guin 3.5/5 stars. After years of being asked to read this book, I’ve finally completed it! For starters I must say it was a good; not horrible, but not amazing either. One of the reasons it didn’t catch hold of my interest is because I took such a long time to read it through. I think if I read it again, I would enjoy it more. But as for this read, I’m not even very interested in reading the next one. Sorry man. XD
Spin The Dawn by Elizabeth Lim 3/5 stars. Honestly, really not a fan of this one. It took me forever to read, I just wasn’t that into it, and it ended on a pretty big cliffhanger. Personally, I don’t want to read the next book. I think that this is another case of “maybe if I read it again.” But I don’t think I ever will.
The Ancient Magus’ Bride (Volume 15-19) Kore Yamazaki average of 4.2/5 stars. AAAAAAAHH. Y’all. I’ve read every single book in this series that’s available. Also, I DISCOVERED THE TV SHOW. Now that I’m watching the TV show, I can see clearly that their were two major story plots. I’m SO EXCITED to read the next story line!!!
Speak: The Graphic Novel by Laurie Halse Anderson 5/5 stars. This book was breathtaking. It was beautiful, depressing, and so very real. I would put it down, and wonder what was making me so depressed. lol I am going to ask my mom to approve the actual book next. Though be warned, this book does go on the heavy side of somethings.
Persuasion by Jane Austen 3/5 stars. Not my favorite out of all I’ve read, and I took it to slow so I kept forgetting things. XD But it’s Jane Austen, so it was good! It’s so crazy how it wasn’t until like the second last chapter that the romance solidified.

The Good Earth is so interesting. And I’m with you about Earthsea…although I read it all in one afternoon, so I don’t even have an excuse for disliking it, haha.
