What I read in March 2025
March was good to me. As well as reading 12 books, I stayed with a couple of old friends for a few days (and came home with slightly more books than I left with…), went to this quarter’s Emotional Madness (my triumphant(?) return to the stage is in June), and caught up on a ton of TV I’d been meaning to watch, on top of the standard excessive board-gaming.

Looking ahead…
Hoping to get some extra reading in over the Easter break this month, but we’ll see…
I’m already halfway through In a Place of Darkness, by Stuart MacBride, and looking forward to the rest of it!
A Sunny Place for Shady People, by Mariana Enriquez and translated by Megan McDowell, and I’ll Never Be Young Again, by Daphne Du Maurier, are a couple of the books I picked up on my travels last month that I want to get to sooner rather than later.
Having enjoyed other work of his, I’m also particularly excited to read We Who Hunt Alexanders by Jason Sanford this month.
