Book Shame
is a monthly post here on A Book So Fathomless where I pick out four books from
my TBR jar, talk about them and then challenge myself to read them before the
next post.
Let’s talk
about how I went last month first!
I managed
to finish both The Man in the Brown Suit and Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar
Children – I liked them both. I also started Annette Vallon but I only got 106
pages in – I will be continuing it next month. Finally, Rags and Bones – I picked
this up early this month then realized I hadn’t read most of the original tales
that these were retelling so I decided to leave it for another time.
As for the
ones I picked out for March…
1. All the
Wrong Questions by Lemony Snicket
I’m sure
you’re all aware of my love for the Series of Unfortunate Events books, so I’m
happy that I can finally get around to this new series.
2. The White
Queen by Philippa Gregory
I’ve owned
this one for years now – I think about seven years or so and I still haven’t
read it. I know there was a TV series adapted from this that looks amazing, so
hopefully I can read this and then watch that.
3. Castle
Dor by Daphne Du Maurier
I’ve been
meaning to pick up another Daphne Du Maurier book since I finished Jamaica Inn
in May (or something) last year but I didn’t know which to pick. To say I’m
excited for this would be an understatement.
4. Charlotte
Gray by Sebastian Faulks
I
absolutely adore the movie adaptation of this book so I’m both super excited
and a little terrified to finally read this.
So I
think I’ve got a pretty good selection here for March. These are all books that
I’ve genuinely been wanting to pick up for ages but just haven’t yet. Hopefully
I can actually get to them all this month!
