Wow, March is almost over and I have a ton of post and reading to catch-up on. The last few weeks did not go as planned, darn life and Murphy and his laws. I am trying to get some post accomplished in the next few days and power through to the end of the month.
I have added ratings to the bottom of my reviews. See the lovely tea cup to your left, the more the merrier. Take my ratings with a few granules of sugar, they are based on my personal enjoyment mixed with my feelings on how a few of my close reader friends might enjoy the reading as well. Ratings are hard and so subjective, so drink at your own risk.
Newly added review for The Eternal Nazi: From Mauthausen to Cairo, the Relentless Pursuit of SS Doctor Aribert Heim by Nicholas Kulish and Souad Mekhennet, book releases today. I was granted access to an ARC* to read prior to release from the publisher, Doubleday.
A heartfelt thank you to Cleo at Classics Carousel for nominating me for the Liebster Award, so I will be doing my required posting for that in the next few days. [Because you are so thorough in your research, which make your posts, so enlightening and interesting, I am nominating you for the Liebster Award. Congratulations! You can go here to find out the details]
What am I working on this week for post: Odyssey and Candide postings! I have a few reviews still lurking that need finished and the Liebster Award to post about. As always tons of reading to finish and April is already bursting at the seams.
What are some of my upcoming new April reads:
A few upcoming ARC Reads [Thank you to publishers for access] *
* FTC disclosure: I received an unedited advanced reader copy of this book to review from the noted publisher. I was not financially compensated by the publisher, Edelweiss or the author. (via Edelweiss)
