March Readin' Roundup!!

March was a pretty good reading month for me.  I was able to finish 8 books this month.  I had one 5 star book, five 4 star books, and two books I gave 3 stars to.  I’m a quarter of the way through my 100 book reading goal for this year, which I think is right on track.  So here’s what I read in March. Click on any book title to read my full review.  Click on the book cover to order the book.  Share with me if your thoughts on these if you’ve read them and what books you read and enjoyed in March.

Together she and Spencer are determined to find out who could of tried to hurt Charlie and why.
