Mount TBR Post #5 - I did it!
I've now read twelve books so I've climbed Pike's Peak. Mount Vancouver, here I come! All the books I read for March for Mount TBR were good and my TBR list is decreasing with far fewer stragglers from years past cluttering it up. I'd say this challenge has been a real success for me.
Here are the statistics for March:

Why Whinging About The Lack of a White History Month Makes You Look Like an Ignoramus
Well, Black History Month has started and you would think that would be a good chance to pay attention to black history when you may not have done so otherwise, right?

First Big Read Post of 2012
I started reading Bleak House back in December and I finally finished reading it last Sunday evening. It's probably my favorite Dickens novel in terms of plotting, structure and how he handles his major female characters. I'd definitely like to re-read it again sometime in the future.

The Big Read Is Back!
I finally read another book off the Big Read list. It's been a while, but I haven't given up on it yet. Some of the books I've tried haven't been that good, but some have been great. I never know what's going to happen when I try one.
