March Reads in Review

In March, I epically failed in the reading realm.  I only read 2 of the proposed 4 books for the month.  That's not to say I didn't start many books.  I actually started about 5 others, but I could not get interested in them at all.  I'd read about 20 pages, get bored then start something else.  It may have something to do with the amount of reading I've been doing at work in the last few weeks.  I spend my entire day reading student guides and instructor guides, that when I get home the last thing I want to do is read any more.  I'm hoping that changes this month.  I've a goal to hit in the book department.  But the good thing is I'm already ahead for the year based on what I read in January and February so I'm still on track.

What I did manage to read in March are 2 books that couldn't more different from each other.  One is a Girl Power book by a feminist and one is a kids book by 2 theatre nerds.  But both were fabulous!

"Not that Kind of Girl" by Lena Dunham: I was never her biggest fan until I started watching Girls on HBO and realized she's basically a genius.  She's a fantastic writer and is very, very funny.  She's also not afraid to speak her mind and own who she is.  I really admire her for what she's created.

"Jack and Louisa: Act 3" by Andrew Keenan Bolger and Kate Wetherhead: I've said it before and I'll say it again, these books are awesome!  I love that they're about musical theatre but also about real issues facing kids today.  I hope that kids are reading them and loving them as much as I am!
