What I’ve Read – March 2024

Apr 1, 2024 | What I've Read

Happy April Fools Day! It’s a new month, and that means a look back at reading for the last month.

March was a busy month with the Gippsland Wellness Expo taking up a lot of time. Most of my reading was by audiobook as I was also doing a lot of driving!

This is what I read in March:

  • Earthly Delights by Kerry Greenwood – I listened to this on audiobook and is one I’ve been meaning to read for a while. This one is quite different to the Phryne Fisher series and I enjoyed this one too.
  • Return to Cardamom by Julie Anne Grasso – the second in the series, I read the first many years ago and found this one when I was searching the shelves. A great read, and I’ll need to hunt out book 3.
  • The Cult of Romance by Sarah Ayoub – a YA book that is billed as a romance, and isn’t one. It’s more a coming of age story that looks at family identity and beliefs about who you are. A great story set in Australia and Lebanon.
  • Riz Chester: The Fingerprint Code by RA Stephens & Em Hammond – a middle grade book that was a lot of fun and one that would appeal to kids who like a mystery as well as the science behind solving them.
  • The Very Fairy Princess by Julie Andrews, Emma Walton Hamilton & Christine Davenier – I bought this picture book when I was writing My Princess Wears a Superhero Cape. This is a favourite of mine, showing kids they can be whoever they want to be.
  • The Gift of Life by Josephine Moon – Another audiobook to finish the month. I love the books by Josephine Moon and this one didn’t disappoint.

As always, I have a few books on the go right now, though I do need to find a new audiobook to listen to.

I hope you had a great reading month.

Social media feels like an open-plan office. Back in the day, I'm talking early 2000s, the Internet was full of small communities. I ran one myself, as well as being a member of different message boards, mostly around parenting and small business. Most of these ran on...

Navigating the library with AuDHD

This is something I've spoken about before, but it's worth mentioning again. Libraries can be wonderfully safe places for neurodivergent people. They are often quiet and calm, and you can be surrounded by books. There are times when there is noise, especially during...
