(And on an only slightly related tangent, why do I find reading even more enjoyable when I can look up and see palm trees? Do people in Florida find reading more enjoyable if they look up and see this? What about this? Actually, now that I think about it, if I was seeing those views one would mean it was summer and the other would probably mean a snow day. Either way I'd have more time to read. I guess they'd make reading more enjoyable to me as well.)
March:
- The Legend of the Golden Snail by Graeme Base - Amazing pictures and magical story.
- The Lightning Thief (Graphic Novel) by Rick Riordan
- On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness by Andrew Peterson (reread) - One of my favorite series.

I can't find the one by Patrick Carman on goodreads.com . Does it have another name or something?
