March reading will be fun for me. I’m focusing on some long classic fiction right now. I look forward to many peaceful evenings with books.

Reading Intentions
☆ Classic Fiction: The Hunchback of Notre Dame, by Victor Hugo
I liked Les Miserables so much I decided to read another Victor Hugo novel. I spent a lot of time reading this last month, but there’s still more to read. I’m a somewhat slow reader!
★ Christian Classic: Absolute Surrender, by Andrew Murray
I’m reading this with the Sisters In Christ Reading Group (at Goodreads).
★ Juvenile: Everything on a Waffle, by Polly Horvath
This is my February book for my Newbery Medal List Reading Project, but I didn’t finish reading it in February. Maybe this month!
☆ Juvenile Classic: The Enchanted Wood, by Enid Blyton
First published in 1939. I’m reading it to complete a list of 14 classic children’s novels.
Classical Education Study Projects
★ Classic Christian Memoir: Confessions, by Augustine
I’m reading this for my classic Christian literature studies and for the classical education project.
★ Classic Fiction: Don Quixote, by Miguel de Cervantes
This is a long-term study project. I’m reading it for classical education, and doing a deep-dive using a study guide and taking notes. I’ve made some progress in learning to take chapter notes and am enjoying the story. This is quite a long book (800 pages) but I expect I’ll get through it this time, eventually. I’m not hurrying through it. I read only two chapters daily, at most.
★ Classic Fiction: The Three Musketeers, by Alexandre Dumas
This qualifies as part of my classical education project. I read one chapter daily which is about all I can take of D’Artagnan!
★ Classic Nonficton: On Airs, Waters, and Places, by Hippocrates
For classical education.
Did Not Finish – aka: DNF
No DNF’s yet.
As of January I no longer have a diary section at the end of my monthly book posts. I’m discontinuing it because I rarely use it. However, if I have anything more to say about anything, I’ll write it down here. It just won’t be in a diary-type format.
Last month I participated in a Creative Awakening Challenge wherein we spent twenty minutes daily making fast art. All my art efforts for that project are on my Instagram account, art_in_the_camp. We have a five day workshop coming up this month as well.
