Overall, I'm buying too many or reading too few. I read three traditional science fiction books this month which reminded me how much I enjoy well-written space opera. Much of my other reading fit into the paranormal genre. Three out of 5 YA books were paranormal. The other two realistic. I read more variety at the MG level though they could all be considered fantasy in the broad sense. I see that I need to read something for my Flashback Challenge. I counted The Lightning Thief because I think I read it previously but I'm not sure.

I'll see how March goes. (Note to self: This post would be much easier to compile if started on the 1st of the month instead of waiting until the end.)
