It's March -- what are you reading?

So far the cover is proving no disappointment.

I will forgive Cassandra Clare for it, just, because Will is also seriously obnoxious. Seth (the boy in A Witch in Winter) appears to be a nice chap as well as being stunningly beautiful.

Will is a drama queen alpha male. #TeamJem right here!

@Juliana - Done with Gail Carriger's Prudence - it's pretty good but not as good as the Soulless quintet. As this is the first book in her new series, I'll give the next book a go to see if it gets better.

Now onwards with Marie Lu's Prodigy and Lauren Beukes' Broken Monsters.

Finished Junkyard Dogs by Craig Johnson. This is one of the books in the series that inspired the cable TV series, Longmire. I like the TV series, and a friend said the books were good fun, so I tried this. It's less (for lack of better term) cowboy noir than the TV series, but then it is billed as more of a comic novel than other entries in the series. I really like how Johnson set out various plot threads leading from his central character and uses them to define the characters around Sheriff Walt Longmire, and how he brings the threads to resolution by novel's end. I'll be reading more of these.

Next, In the Forest of Forgetting by Theodora Goss, a story collection. The first story, "The Rose in Twelve Petals" is impressively done, a variation on Sleeping Beauty that works extremely well.
