I'm late posting my recommended reads from March but real life got in the way and my blogging schedule got mixed up. 

March was a busy month for me book-wise. I read some books, some fanfiction (Sterek) and some free short stories (companion pieces to Nalini Singh's Psy-Changeling series). Without further ado, here are my March favourites - Nothing Like Paris by Amy Jo Cousins and Champion by Marie Lu.

I very much enjoyed the first book in this series (Off Campus) but Jack was a real jerk there and I wasn't sure how/if Ms Cousins will manage to redeem him. Boy, did she do it. I fell in love both with Jack and Miguel and their second-chance, reconciliation, coming-out love story.

I read the first two books in this series over right after their release and was excited about the final one but somehow my reading drifted more towards romance and this book got left behind. Going back to the story of June and Day was a real pleasure. Reading a well-written dystopian story with good worldbuirlding and great characters (YA, NA or Adult) still can make me very happy. 
I felt this book was the perfect finale to the series.

It was great month for me in terms of the books I read. They were mostly 4-star reads and even one 5-star read (Unravel by Calia Reid). My disappointment was Four Years Later by Monica Murphy which was a decent read but I had higher expectations since I really liked the first two books in the series (Drew and Fable's story).

I continued with Teaser Tuesday and Top Ten Tuesday (Top Ten Popular Authors I've Never Read and Top Ten Books On My Spring 2014 TBR List). 

I also took part in some promotional events - Release Day Launch for Love Hacked by Penny Reid, Cover Reveal for Dirty Angels by Karina Halle, Excerpt for Twisted by Emma Chase, Book Blitz for Upside Down by Lia Riley, Blog Tour for Love Hacked by Penny Reid.

You still have time to enter the giveaway I'm having of 1 ebook copy of Twisted (Tangled #2) by Emma Chase. Just fill in the Rafflecopter HERE.

I'm thinking of starting a new feature - Spotlight Sunday -where I plan to present my favourite books/authors/series. I still haven't decided how to do it exactly and I don't know if I'll have the time to be consistent with it, so we'll see how it goes.

I started doing #ManCandyMonday on FB where I post pictures of hot guys representing the heroes of the books I'm currently reading or are just inspired by them.
