Oh, goodness. The only book I finished in March was Tad Williams' River of Blue Fire, which is the second book in the Otherland series. I think that's close to a record low for me! Stupid work.

BlackCanary, I'm chuckling at the gif about the dog park in your siggy.

One of the reasons I love this board is that I haven't even heard of - much less read - many of the books listed in these threads. I definitely don't feel like we get stuck on a few specific books or authors to the exclusion of everything else.

I agree.  I have found quite a few books to read that I wouldn't have picked up normally.  I may not always end up liking the books but I really like getting ideas on what to add to my list.
