The best book for this month was:

I loved this book so much!  Kristin Cashore is becoming one of my very favorite authors, and I'll be reading whatever she writes.  I loved the characters and the story.  Everything about it was excellent.








The worst book this month was:
Going Bovine by Libba Bray.  This one was a DNF for me.  I've read so many good reviews from bloggers whose book judgement I trust, so I'm not sure what my problem was.  I think it was mostly that I just wasn't in the mood.  It seems like one of those books that you have to be in the right frame of mind for.

I'm noticing a trend of a lot of YA books and graphic novels, which is okay since those are the ones I need to read the most of for challenges.  I'd like to get a few more longer, heavier books in, though.
