Books We Read – March

Somehow, in the midst of prepping and organizing the posts for Share a Story-Shape a Future, our March list got published before we had actually put together a list. April Fools! Now that I’ve got my act together here is the real list. If you have  read and reviewed one of the books, please feel free to add it to the Website; add a link in the comments here; or send me an email at thereadingtub [at] gmail [dot] com with “book review” in the title. I’m happy to send traffic your way.

Received: 31
Read: 51
Reviewed (new): 36

Note: Late last week I received a collection of 30 (!) reviews. I have links to the pages for many of them on our website, though I have not yet fat-fingered all of them in yet. New this month, I tweaked our book widget to include links to Indie Bound (you can mouse over “Indie Bound” to get more info) and Amazon.  Covers still link to amazon.com.
