My goal is to read 52 books in 2016. These are the books that I’m reading and my thoughts on them. When you read dozens of books, it becomes hard to remember what they were all about, so I’m making notes and posting monthly on what I’m reading. Do you have any books you’d like to recommend?

March was a poor month reading wise. TV was to blame. I’m not a fan of just sitting there watching mindless television, but when I stumble onto a series I really like, well, there’s no getting me away from the screen until I’ve watched every episode available. That’s what happened in March, but that’s ok. My brain may have needed a recharge and that’s exactly what happened because the muse showed up unexpectedly with a surprising story idea that I’m excited about and will share in the future. I need to see where it takes me first.

So without much further ado, here’s what I read (and watched) in March.

IZombie – Season 1

Ok so this isn’t a book. It’s a comic and a television series. My brother recommended the series. At the start I was like, yeah this ok. I can watch it when I’ve nothing better to do. Bt the end of the first episode I was hooked. A brain-eating zombie helping a Detective solve crimes and battling her own love-drama. What’s not to love? The premise does sound a bit out there but the writers of the show, Rob Thomas, has done an outstanding job. IZombie kept me up till well past 1am when I’m normally tucked in and snoring by 9. I’m looking forward to season 2 but I’m going to have to stop myself from watching it in one sitting!

Hitler’s Forgotten Children: My Life Inside The Lebensborn by Ingrid Von Oelhafen & Tim Tate

I found this book interesting and easy to read. It tells the story of a woman who wants to learn where she came from and who her family are. Having been lied to as a child and finding out that she had been stolen from her real family during WWII. The history is horrific, the atrocious acts that people were capable of are beyond comprehension and yet, they occurred….
Lebensborn was a camp or home in which Hitler and the Reich were planning on creating the perfect race to take over the world. Thousands of children were born there or placed there after having been stolen from their parents because of their appearance and the Reich’s belief that they were genetically ideal. Scary, interesting and completely fucked up. Let’s hope history doesn’t repeat itself.

In His Shadow by Tiffany Snow

An erotic romance with action and thrills. The first half of the book dragged on a bit for me. It wasn’t until about half way that I suspended disbelief and enjoyed the rest of the story. It’s a fun read, the characters are true to romance form and if you enjoy this genre you’ll probably enjoy this book. Fortunately, there was more romance and drama than erotica.
