I made the mistake of going to a charity bookshop, and Heffers in Cambridge (which is like the nicest bookshop ever). Which resulted in me buying:Forensics: What Bugs, Burns, Prints, DNA and More Tell Us About Crime
Dot Robot
Pandaemonium
Dauntless
And from Heffers:
Civil War (the complete #1-7)
Station Eleven
The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet
Ah the start of Spring and finally winter fading into actual sunshine and baby lambs.What did you end up reading in March? Was it a good reading month? Did anything particularly spark your interest?
I'll be making the March badges either today or tomorrow, so watch this space :3

The majority of my recent reads have been from NetGalley, my most recent addiction. I'm off for Easter now, so hopefully I'll be able to get loads of reading done! And hopefully get better at regularly updating this thread!
March Nomination threads are now up!Sorry they're a bit late going up, things have been a bit hectic. They close on the 24th, so make sure you get your nominations in by then!
One book per person please!
Here's the board!
Happy International Women's Day everyone!
I made the mistake of getting a NetGalley account... I've read 3 ARCS and I'm having to ban myself from requesting more books!It's great fun being contact by the authors on twitter though!
Marina, that's an insane list! Especially with monster books like Game of Thrones!
I did a bit of research when you started reading the Virkosigan Saga, Renee, and they sound like great books!

Hi Jill,We choose books first by nominations, then by a poll.
Nominations generally open around 16th/17th of each month. Polls then run from the 20th/21st to 24th/25th.
These vary slightly, but its generally around those times. Currently, there's a day or so left on the polls for March! You can find them here.
Hope this covers things for you. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask!
Yeah, I recommend what Renee suggested. I have mine (along with the group in general) as a bookmark in Chrome.
New badges are up!As requested, we've got:
Cereal Numbers (this is probably my fave one. so cute!)
2016 New Releases
Crazy Calendar (Winter)
Leap Year
Very Very Valentines
Just a lot of reading. This semester might honestly kill me!
