Book It! March!

Okay I know I’m way too old to be acting like a teenager, but I just can’t help it. I’m totally hooked with the book called The Iron King by Julie Kagawa and I totally fell in-love with the two male characters, Puck and Ash. It’s obnoxious to think that I've even dreamt that I was Meghan (the girl heroine in the book). I know, it is a childish act, but it is quite an interesting read and I can't stop thinking about it.
I have to admit, I wasn't as anxious to read the book at first, but since Jcel and I have this challenge to read 50 books in one year, I have to give my self a little push to read the books that I've left off so many months ago. But when I started reading it again, I was engrossed and could not put it down. Much to my amazement some of the book's characters are from the Midsummer Nights Dream. If you are familiar with it, then you'd be amaze to find Oberon, Titania and the infamous Robin Goodfellow etc.

I don’t want to be spoiling too much for those who have not read or is planning to read it, but I’m telling you, it’s one of those easy read but will captivate you to read more because it is just simply out of the ordinary that kind of book :)
On the other hand, I have just finished The Winter's Passage - an Iron Fey novella.  It's quite short but it's worth the read before jumping to Book 2 - The Iron Daughter. Which I also have just recently finished reading. It's just gets better and better  and now I'm off reading the 3rd book - The Iron Queen.

Okay, aside from those three books, I am also currently reading DELIRIUM - I am still on my 7th chapter so it's still a long way before I could finish it. At the moment, it has not sink-in my head yet, so I am in between loving and getting annoyed that the book seems to have more chapters than I thought. But on how Jcel summarized and totally left me hanging on what's going to happen, I have no choice but to keep reading it. Anyways, I decided to read it on my way to work and going back home that way, I know soon enough I'd finish it. So, another one bites the dust on not making on my "March Books I've read List". But nonetheless, I am quite happy of where this is going. So far, I have read 6 books and (is) currently reading 2 more books to add on the list. So stay tuned for April update! I still have plenty of great books to read ... Christian novels perhaps?!
