March Book Report

Birthday flowers, 2026

I finished 12 books last month.

A quote from this month's reading:

“It is fruitless to search for the characteristics of an “American” identity, because each nation has its own notion of what being American should mean.”
           ― Colin Woodard, American Nations

Here are the books I finished in March 2026: 

1. Suede to Rest by Diane Vallere (3-stars)
