What I read in March 2026

As in February, I read “only” nine books in March, and I don’t even have the excuse of it being a short month this time! I’d love to say I was concentrating on writing or something else productive, but alas. However, I’ve signed up to perform at Emotional Madness in June, so I have no choice but to finish a piece of writing in the next month or so.

Them Girls, Midnight in Chernobyl, Somewhere Beyond the Sea

April is lighter on the blog tour front than March was, but a title I’m particularly looking forward to reading and reviewing is Them Girls by Eva Verde.

I started Midnight in Chernobyl by Adam Higginbotham yesterday and am absolutely enthralled!

My TJ Klune journey continues apace – having adored The House in the Cerulean Sea, I’m looking forward to reading the follow-up, Somewhere Beyond the Sea.
