It’s Friday again, which means it’s time to fangirl! Today’s Fangirling on Friday topic is “Favorite of March”. I read so many great books this last month, so even though I have one book in mind, I also have several honorable mentions.
So I think I’m going to give the favorite book of the month award to Sky without Stars by Jessica Brody and Joanne Rendell! This was a great book. I loved the main characters, Chatine and Marcellus, and I hope that when the next book comes out I get to see more of them together. Of course, Alouette is an interesting character as well, but I’m hoping for Chatine and Marcellus to get together.
The book is described as Les Miserables meets The Lunar Chronicles. I need to read both of those books, but I haven’t yet. Why? Well, maybe because of the other 300 books on my TBR…
I read so many good books last month, but I should give an honorable mention to The Grisha Verse books by Leigh Bardugo. So I started reading Shadow and Bone in February, but in March I read Siege and Storm and Ruin and Rising. I completely ship Malina! I also listened to Six of Crows on audiobook (same universe, different story). They were all good.
In March I found out that Leigh Bardugo is releasing a book on October 1st (what’s up with that date… it’s also the date Rebel and The End and Other Beginnings comes out) called Ninth House. I want to pre-order that book, but I looked at my budget for this month, and since I’m meeting Sandhya Menon next week, I’m getting When Dimple Met Rishi instead. I’m sure I can pre-order her book next month, but October is still six months away, so there’s plenty of time to come up with $22 between now and then.
So that’s my favorite from March. What were your favorites?
There really do seem to be some release days when about 12 books you want to read are coming out. (It was the entire month of September for me in 2018… so many books). I’m glad to hear that you’re enjoying exploring Leigh Bardugo’s stories!

I had two books on pre-order for September 18th last year, I think.
Fortunately, not all weeks are like that, or I’d be broke and wouldn’t have enough time to read them all!
I’m excited that this was your favorite March read since I pre-ordered it. I’m looking forward to reading this one–I love Les Mis! I think you made the right decision about your pre-order. You still have plenty of time before October.

I hope you like the book as much as I did! I ended up pre-ordering this book as well, because I liked it so much, intend on reading the next book in the series, and wanted the gorgeous first print with the special cover!
