Erika | 9482 comments When March come, the Madness comes. It's March Madness, so the challenge is to read 3000 pages or more. Read any format you want but use the print edition page numbers. Please post the book you've read, how many pages, the date and your rating.

i.e.
Outlander (Outlander, #1) by Diana Gabaldon 896 pages 3/1/15 5*

Erin (awelderswife) Spark (Sky Chasers, #2) by Amy Kathleen Ryan This is the second book of the Sky Chasers Trilogy. First book is pretty good, but this book to me was a lot better in terms of action and plot twists!
