Crap. March count:

5) The First Law Book 1 - The Blade Itself, Joe Abercrombie

And I read most of that one in February. Nearly finished another book for this month, had about a hundred pages to go... Looks like I'm gonna fail the challenge this year, unless something miraculous happens. Man, what happened to the good ol' days when I could get through a book a week?

Hmm, I read The Magician's Guild by Trudi Canavan, but I wasn't horribly impressed with it. Pretty sure I sold the book already, too. Are the latter books better? I think I may have just not liked her writing style.

Behind on posting as usual but this time I've actually read a few books. Here's the list:

Island of the Sequined Love Nun by Christopher Moore - finally finished this; it was a decent read but not as good as other Moore books I've read.

Wellspring of Chaos by L.E. Modesitt Jr. - I haven't read any of this series in awhile but this is my favorite one yet and has me wanting to re-read them all before reading the current one.

Star War: A New Hope by George Lucas - Okay read but man does that guy suck as a writer.

Empire Strikes back by Donald F. Glut - Not bad but a little exuberant for my taste.

Return of the Jedi by James Kahn - Pretty much the same but way to overblown on the descriptions. At one point he actually uses the phrase "slowly slows"...

April Count:

15. The Kite Runner ~ Khaled Hosseini Awesome book, read it if you ever get the chance.

16. The Screwtape Letters ~ C. S. Lewis Dude didn't just write Narnia.

17. One Shot ~ Lee Child

I'm on a spiritual reading kick right now (see #16) and I realize that those kinds of books probably don't interest many people here. Since we don't talk about religion here, if you're interested in talking about spiritual reading, please im/pm me and I can hook you up with some good stuff. :-)
