March TBR

This month might be a bit ambitious. I checked out a large amount of books from my public library so I intend to read most of them.

This is the book I am currently reading. For English class, every month we have to select a book off of a list of about 150 books our teacher gives us. After we read that book in the month we must discuss it with him. This was one that he raved about in class so I decided to pick it up. Staying Fat For Sarah Byrnes by Chris Crutcher is about a boy named Eric Calhoune who is overweight. In middle school he became best friends with a girl named Sarah Byrnes who, as her name suggests, has terrible burn scars on her face. The two misfits join together to rebel against bullies and other misadventures until Sarah Byrnes stops talking and is sent to a mental hospital. That is essentially the "plot" but there is so much more going on in this story. Eric joins the swim team but is afraid he will lose weight and his frienship(hence the titles), his swim coach teaches a class where students discuss hot button issues and many other subplots ensue.
 

This is a fascinating book based on the description. It is about A. Every day A wakes up in a different body, no matter gender, race, personality or any other factors. A has lived with this condition for sixteen years and doesn't think much of it until one day he meets a girl named Rhiannon and falls in love. From there he must find her through his disability and declare his love.
 

This is a new book that came out this year. It is about a teenage girl named Hayley Kincaid who has to deal with her father, Andy. Andy recently came home from combat and suffers from PTSD. This story is about Hayley's struggle with her living conditions as she tries to forge a normal life.
 

The Chaos Walking trilogy is a dystopian series about a boy named Todd who lives in a society where everyone can hear each other's thoughts. This is until one day when Todd finds a place where it is totally quiet, no noise or thoughts or anything. This trilogy chronicles his adventures as he learns the truth of this society.

I am only planning on reading the first book in this series. If you do not know what this novel is about I summed it up in my February TBR post. As you can see by the cover this novel is being adapted into a film that is coming out this month. I plan to read this to prepare for that event and I will make sure to get around to it this month.

Those are the books I would like to read in March. I assume I won't finish all of these this month but I like to have some goals set in the mean time. Subscribe to this blog to see my reviews of these books and what I finish this month!
