March Wrap-Up: The March of the Wooden Reader

Feel like I slogged off in March, with only six books read - but some good quality there, and who knew a kid's picture book about the celebrating of Persian New Year (Seven Special Somethings) would be one of my most interesting and entertaining reads of the year already? Also admit, though The Burning Girls was my first C.J. Tudor, it certainly won't be my last. And Carl Hiaasen ... oh my goodness, Mr. Hiaasen. If you're a Trump fan, do NOT read Squeeze Me. IOn the other hand, if you (like most people) despise Trump and all he represents, then you may want to commit parts of Hiassen's latest to memory. Should also mention that a visit with the Ratso Brothers always makes me smile ... so yeah, not a bad reading month for quality - and have a few goodies I'm already into or have completed for April, as well!


Film-wise, received an invite to a private screening to watch an Emile Hirsch (always a fan) film that's still "under construction", but having signed an NDA (non-disclosure agreement) for it can't discuss my thoughts (*sigh*, one less review to catch up on, I guess) until/unless the film come out. My strong opinions on the other two, however, more than make up the difference for that, and hopefully my total love for Zack Snyder's Justice League and so-so love for Godzilla vs. Kong will be on-board here soon, via upcoming reviews (from my mouth to God's ear)!


Lastly, March saw the premiere of "The Irregulars" on Netflix - the modern-day take on the Baker Street Irregulars of Sherlock Holmes's fame, with a supernatural twist. Have watched two episodes so far, and have fallen in love with the show, as well as at least half its cast. One goal for April: finish the other six episodes for season one ... and cross fingers for a season two!

Already two books down for April; hopefully a good sign. And warmer weather isn't hurting. Whatever you're up to, may your April be filled with great books, films, television ... and hopefully some comfy outdoor reading!

As always (no spoilers here): Reviews to come!
