Good Morning Happy Readers!
March is Women's History Month. March is a month with 31 days. Purim will begin on March 11, 2017. On March 12, 2017 we lose an hour of sleep to Daylight Savings Time, there is also a full moon that night. March 17 is St. Patrick's Day and is the day after my best friends birthday. Spring will begin on March 20, 2017. And today, March 1 is Ash Wednesday. Last month I read 17 books, in January I read 30. This month I am determined to read more, to focus that reading on my challenges, and to embrace the distraction of reading as sparingly as possible. With that in mind I have a plan.
For March, a month dedicated to Women's History, I will be reading the following:
- The Geek Feminist Revolution by Kameron Hurley
- Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly (Didn't manage to read this in February)
- Rise of the Rocket GIrls by Nathalia Holt
- Julie & Julia by Julie Powell
- The Shining Girls and Broken Monsters by Lauren Beukes
- The Accidental Empress and Sisi: Empress on Her Own by Alison Pataki
- Sisters in Law by Linda Hirshman
- When I was Puerto Rican and Almost a Woman by Esmeralda Santiago
- How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents and In The Time of Butterflies by Julia Alvarez
- Saffron Skies by Lesley Loko
- The Wonder by Emma Donoghue
- The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton
All written by women, some written by women of color, some fiction, some non fiction, all framing history in one context or another.
I'll get more specific with each as I read them; and I'll let you know what challenges they fit.
Until the next time.
