What a long month March has seemed to be for me. I have been made redundant, got another job, had two bookish friends staying with me and exploring my home county of Yorkshire with them, we’ve had friends over for get-togethers, I’ve had a pampering day in the spa, the parents-in-law staying with us, done several 6-10 mile hikes in the countryside, one trip to the Doctors, one trip to the Hospital……..and all this in one month!
Despite my busy month I also, more importantly, managed to read 8 books! But first some facts about my booksish March:
Most popular posts
The two most popular posts (almost tying for first place) were the two Boof’s Whispererings posts. These also got the most comments.
The top Book Reviews were (again tying for first place) You Belong to Me by Mary Higgins Clark and Mornings in Jenin by Susan Abulhawa.
The most viewed author interview was with Becca Fitzpatrick , author of Hush Hush again (this has won every month so far).
The Book Whisperer blog
I am really chuffed about this as I only strated this book in Mid-December 2009 and already in 3 ½ months I have had over 7,000 hits on my blog. I am so pleased as this means that people are reading and sharing in my passion of books. This isn’t a money-generating blog and it’s not my job, it’s something I do because of my love and passion for the printed word and sharing that with like-minded people is what drives me to do this. Thanks to everyone who is a regular reader and those who just pop by. I love seeing you on here 
So what did I read?
I read the following books in March:
The Hanging Valley by Peter Robinson
Far From The Land by Thomas J Rice
You Belong to Me by Mary Higgins Clark
In a Dry Season by Peter Robinson
East Lynne by Ellen Wood
The Snowman by Jo Nesbo
The Victorian Chaise-Longue by Marhganita Laski
Let me Call You Sweetheart by Mary Higgins Clark
What was my favourite?
I have to say East Lynne - I absolutely adored that book and it shot into my Top 20 of all time. A close second is The Snowman as that was such a gripping, fast-paced crime novel and I loved it!

Wait… I mean except for the being-made-redundant thing. My bad. BUT, it did lead to a hopefully BETTER job…so many that is actually a good thing.
