March List

Hello everyone. Sorry about being a few days late. I had the flu. No really. The real flu. It's about as much fun as they say it is too. I also didn't get a lot read. The freelancing gig is taking up way much more of my time than I thought it would. Hopefully I should be done within a week or two though so on to March! Lot's of repeaters and a few thrown in just because I know I can knock 'em out quickly and painlessly. I'll role February's books into March's recap.

Febuary List

This is indeed a motley assortment of books. I'm a little behind now. I read 12 books in January which means I now need to read 17 books a month for the rest of the year or I can read 21 books this month to catch up. And it's a short month too. ;) A couple of comments about the list: I've included the D&D core rule books because I've started picking up freelancing gigs and need to reread them. I don't plan on reading through the entire D&D cannon on this blog in case anyone's worried. There are also two 'cookbooks' on the list. Generally speaking, I don't think cookbooks count but Cookwise is actually more of a food book with some recipes and this edition of The Joy of Cooking actually is very interesting in the text about how American cuisine has changed in the last 75 years.
