It's Road Trip Wednesday Time
This week's question on YA Highway's Road Trip Wednesday is:
What was the best book you read in March?
Oh, decisions! How will I ever choose? Oh wait, this is easy. I would love to project an aura of Wonder Woman to you all and boast about how I've read twelve books this month in addition to spring cleaning my entire house, finishing my own novel, and discovering the cure for childhood boredom. Unfortunately, none of those things happened in the month of March. Perhaps in April...
Anyway, I really only read one book this past month, so I suppose it gets my vote. It was really good and deserves to be best of March in my opinion. The book was Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. Not really a YA book, I know, but hey, it's slim pickins around here! I love the dark and edgy tone that is just dripping with wit and suspense. I would definitely recommend it.
This question is a great reminder of the importance of reading as a writer. I am a firm believer that if you continually read good writing, it will begin to rub off on you. If you surround yourself with crap or with no writing at all, that's probably all that will come out when you write: crap, or nothing at all. So immerse yourself in great literature of all kinds and further your craft. Happy Wednesday.
It's good that your only read of March was good enough to be Book of the Month, Amy. Last month, I read a few books and none of them were good enough! It's a different story this month...
ReplyDeleteGONE GIRL sounds interesting. If you like this sort of book, I wonder if you might be interested in my shout-out book this month, SAFE FROM HARM by Stephanie Jaye Evans? Can you see how I'm trying to tempt you over to my blog...? :D
Haha Very subtle... I will definitely check it out. Thanks for the suggestion and for reading and commenting.
