March Wrap-up

March was a difficult reading month for me. I found myself drawn to graphic novels or TV shows and stumbled over the same sentence time and time again when I tried to read. So it's been pretty slow, but I managed to add another book to each of my challenges (*ahem* they might have been the same book that works for both...) so it wasn't too bad! How did everyone else go this month?

Hosted by Booking in Heels

Aim:
10 books and 1 film.

Progress:
3 books and the film

Books Read:
The Invisible Man by H.G Wells - A short read, but surprisingly humorous and one that I really enjoyed.
Read review here.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen -film review - Quite different from the graphic novel, but a well-fleshed out story. I enjoyed the larger cast and the sets and costumes were amazing.

Anything New:


*I'll probably be posting only one review a week now thanks to the business of my Phd schedule, but I'm going to attempt to add a discussion post in place of the other review. I'll just have to take it as I go.

*I'm after some recommendations of new books to read. Any genre, any length, any topic. What have you read and loved? What MUST I read?
