What are you reading in March 2021?

Hello all.

I'm trying my best to get back into reading at all (or for that matter watching longer than one hour long things on TV or in other media). I was quite surprised that all this stuff from the previous year has hit me in such a 'I have no concentration' way.

In February I did finish Sing for my Baby by Jenn Matthews.

I'm hoping to catch up on my Netgalley ones this month (uh, even though they're all out now oops... :D)

So. How are y'all doing? Read anything good yet this year, looking forward to any books in particular in March?

(I have a Melissa Brayden that needs to be read, so, I'm happy about that.

I'm afraid I have a bit of a backup of reading material. Even in kindle versions! And I know what you mean. I go through spells where I can read for hours, and others where I am lucky if I get through a page.

I'm enjoying a non lesbian staring book right now. I've been heading back to some older Karin Kallmaker books lately.

I did read the new Fannie Flagg Whistle Stop book and enjoyed it. I think it was around Christmas so not 2021 but..time is relative now, right?

>2 literatefool: *gasp* a non-lesbian book. Oh heavens, I'm swooning. (I'm also considering starting the Kerry Underwood Phryne Fisher series next if I can find the concentration).

I tried to start reading the new Whistle Stop book, and I just couldn't get into it. I do love Karin Kallmaker though! (Who am I kidding, unless it's a technically horribly written book, I pretty much can find almost anything to love in a lesbian piece of fiction. Heh.

Time is wibbly wobbly time-y wimey not to mention Jeremy Bearimy, so, I say anything in the last year and three months is good to go.

I also have quite a bit of a backup in lesbian reading. (And I just got two more ARCs... oops....) I also have a big back log of stuff to enter in as read in LibraryThing (and some of their reviews). So, double oops. :)

I also want to try and do Jae's lesbian book subject thing this year too, just haven't gotten around to it quite yet. (I'm no good at Crossword Puzzles so I took a year off)

My list of "wants" keeps growing! Between the Lesbian Review and the coming soon email from Bella books the list just..grows. And grows.

I am planning to try to get into some of sci fi and fantasy sections too. Planning. We know how plans have gone the last year.

>5 Lexxi: The Courtney Milan one is on my list, but, haven't gotten to it yet (as with many others).

>6 DanieXJ: I liked it, but I found it easier to read after I read book 2 in the series, since one of the main characters in Mrs. Martin made an appearance as a side character in book 2 (After the Wedding). I do not believe any of the other books in the series need to be read before reading Mrs. Martin.
