March Reading Recap & Expected April Reads

My March 2020 Reads: 

How life has changed since the last time I posted a reading recap! Unlike some other readers, my reading time has not seen a dramatic increase even though I am staying home during COVID-19. As it is, I only read after my daughters are tucked into bed for the night.

In March, I finished:

1. The Socialite by J'nell Ciesielski. - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Read my review.


2. Don't Overthink It by Anne Bogel - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Read my review.


3. A Wing and a Prayer by Julie Lessman - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Read my review.


4. Before I Called You Mine by Nicole Deese - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Review coming soon.


5. His Lady in Hiding by Jen Geigle Johnson. - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Read my review.


6. The Basic Bible Atlas: A Fascinating Guide to the Land of the Bible by John A. Beck - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Read my review.


7. Formula for a Perfect Life by Christy Hayes. - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Read my review.


8. A Lady's Maid by Jen Geigle Johnson - ⭐⭐⭐ - Read my review.

Expected April 2020 Reads:

In April, I hope to read:

1. Daughter of Rome by Tessa Afshar - My local book club's selection for April. Though we won't meet in person, we'll still discuss it via multiple emails.  


2. The Prophet and the Dove by Kirby Lee Davis. - Currently reading.


3. The House at the End of the Moor by Michelle Griep - I love Michelle's books and was thrilled when this one arrived in the mail!


4. The Lost Lieutenant by Erica Vetsch. - A new to me author.


5. Fierce, Free and Full of Fire: The Guide to Being Glorious You by Jen Hatmaker. - I've followed Jen on social media for awhile now, but this will be my first book by her.


6. Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen, annotated by Karen Swallow Prior. - I read Sense and Sensibility years ago, but I'm a fan of Karen Swallow Prior's works, so revisiting this classic seemed like a great idea!


7. Emberhawk by Jamie Foley - A fantasy, way out of my normal reading, but it sounds very interesting. My husband has already read it and loved it!


8. Stay with Me by Becky Wade. - With this large list, I'm not sure if I will get to the book in April or May. Either way, I'm looking forward to it!  😃

My Reading: February Recap & March TBR

My February 2020 Reads: 

In February, I finished five fiction novels, two poetry collections, and one non-fiction book. 📚 I'm truly thrilled with my reading progress as I've started taking a medication that makes me sleepy and I'm having trouble staying awake past 8:30 p.m. 😴

In February, I finished:

1. The Christian Book of Mystical Verse compiled by A. W. Tozer. - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Read my review.


2. The Runaway Bride by Jody Hedlund - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Read my review.


3. Like Flames in the Night by Connilyn Cossette. - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Read my review.


4. Secrets of the Pastor's Wife by Christina Ryan Claypool. - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Read my review.


5. A Reluctant Bride by Jody Hedlund. - ⭐⭐⭐⭐


6. Worthy: Celebrating the Value of Women by Elyse Fitzpatrick and Eric Schumacher - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Review coming soon.


7. The Medallion by Cathy Gohlke - ⭐⭐⭐ - Read my review.


8. Showers of Blessings by Helen Steiner Rice - ⭐⭐⭐ - I've read other collections of her poems that I really liked, but this one just didn't appeal to me.

Like last month, I can't choose a favorite for February. I delighted in my nightly readings from The Christian Book of Mystical Verse, but I couldn't put down The Runaway Bride which I feel pretty sure will end up on my favorite books of 2020 list.
