12 Challenge 2025 - March Update

 Happy Monday!  Today, I'm sharing my March update for my 12 Challenge 2025.  This month I managed to complete 2 books for a total of 7 completed of the 12 books recommended to me.  Keep reading to see my thoughts on what I've read for this challenge in March:

❋ ❋ ❋ ❋ ❋ 

I'm so glad that Les Normaux by Janine Janssen was recommended to me for the 12 Challenge 2025 because this is a new favorite. I went into this basically blind but absolutely loved it. The representation in this fantasy is so refreshing and the characters are all delightful. I have a feeling it will be on my best of 2025 list! I am eagerly awaiting Volume 2!

My review is also on Goodreads and The StoryGraph.

❋ 

The Book of Ebenezer Le Page by G.B. Edwards is a classic piece of fiction that I pretty quickly realized wasn't for me. I was bored out of my mind and the formatting of it didn't help me focus. I'm interested in the idea of this as a person's life story, but this was just a sprawling slog for me. I might have been able to withstand this a little more if I was able to listen to the audiobook.  Being able to heard Ebenezer Le Page tell his story might have helped me get into it especially with his Guernsey English/ French.
